Sichuan Meets Contemporary Western At Birds of a Feather
Sichuan cuisine has more to offer than mala and Birds of a Feather’s first tasting menu (S$89++) seeks to redefine it.

The Octopus Carpaccio is a multi-sensorial delicacy with assertive flavour profiles that rival the ‘Yu Xiang’ Carabinero Prawn’s harmony between the spicy-sweet and sour sauce and tender crustacean. Gentler flavours find a home in the Sichaun Fish Stew, a modern take on comfort food, and the refreshingly innovative version of the French baba cake, Mandarin.
