A contemporary concept that celebrates the inventiveness of Sichuan cuisine, Birds of a Feather is a place for constant evolution. For the past nine years, the Amoy Street haunt has been a retreat for gastronomes. Its casually elegant service and setting invite conviviality, a feeling of ease among greenery. Now, the menu undergoes a timely refresh, guided by Head Chef Eugene See’s French training and his deep appreciation for Sichuan’s bold, intricate flavours.
While Sichuan’s inland geography limited its seafood offerings, rivers and trade routes carried freshwater fish and shrimp to Chengdu’s tables. It is this historical footnote that Chef Eugene embraces to inject a new emphasis on seafood, weaving it into the restaurant’s Contemporary Cuisine with Sichuan influences. Four oceanic additions grace the a la carte menu, alongside a new poultry dish, all while classics like Find the Chicken in Chillies remain for those seeking comfort in familiarity.
These seafood creations are also featured in the restaurant’s curated sharing menus. The ANYI menu ($113++ per person) continues to present house specialties, while an all-new Sea Chuan menu ($138++ per person) highlights the oceanic dishes in a thoughtful assembly.
