Birds of a Feather

Birds of A Feather is a beautiful, cosy restaurant set in two conservation shophouses on trendy Amoy Street. Walk inside and be enveloped in warm moody lighting, wooden décor with mixed seating, funky lamps and indoor plants giving off  a tropical indoor-outdoor feel. Birds of a Feather takes inspiration from Chengdu, where tea houses and cafes set in green spaces abound. The food is a mix of fiery hot Sichuanese cuisine with western elements. Expect kickass kung fu heat in many of the dishes (though there are non-spicy options, too). Recommendations for chilli masters include the ‘Find the Chicken in the Chilli’, where explosively spicy bites of crispy chicken are hidden in mounds of Szechuan chillies. Not one for the fainthearted but if you’re brave enough you’ll be rewarded with delicious flavours and spicy heat dancing on your tongue. Coffee gets a thumbs up (the owners own a coffee empire in Chengdu) and desserts are intriguing and novel. Something for everyone at this current favourite hang out!
