Chuan’ao Miyuan King, Hong Kong

Sichuan food is renowned for its liberal use of chilies and fiery dishes. Do not let appearances deceive, as this hole-in-the-wall-style Sichuan extravaganza serves up some of the best Sichuan food outside of the province. For the chili-lover, it is worth the trek to the back streets of Hung Hom to seek out this truly local and red hot experience. Diners have the option of choosing the level of spice on a scale of one to seven. The Dan Dan Mian noodles are extremely popular, and the Water Broiled Fish in a bowl of chili and pepper is served up thick and fast to hungry diners. Plentiful stocks of Tsing Dao beer are available to cool the palate. - James Reynolds.
