The restaurant is capable of taking 145 diners at any one time in its comfortable contemporary and elegant settings.


To start off our morning experience, we were greeted with a memorable experience made by tea server who presents the humble act of eight treasure tea serving tea art. The tea servers serves through a meter-long nose bronze tea kettle combining the skill of Chinese martial arts, dance and gymnastics to perform elegant tea-pouring moves.


Eight Treasure Tea

The ingredients are; Wolfberries, Red dates, Chrysanthemum, Dried longan, Jasmine or Long Jing tea leaves,  Mai Dong (lilyturf root), Dried lily bulbs and Rock sugar. It was refreshing drink with taste of chrysanthemum and light sweetness.

Currently, since the 1st October, Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant is running a great promotion – Dim Sum Buffet at RM55++ per person. It’s time to regain your connection with the friends and family during the weekends over a bountiful dim sum feast. Starting as early as 9am, kick-start your morning with a variety of dainty dim sums and spread of buffet line, accompanied with authentic Sichuan sauce.


The buffet style in Si Chuan Dou Hua is a little different from the normal dim sum restaurant. There is no cart pushing around. Instead, they have a menu available and one can order the dim sum they like from the menu. This is ensure that the dim sum is fresh and its hot when served as dim sum is great to eat while it is hot.

However, while waiting for the dim sum ordered to arrive, there is a buffet line of other food available for the customers too. Don't indulge too much though, you still need space for the dim sum later. They have a long line of buffet food from snacks, main dishes of rice, porridge and noodles to desserts and fruits.
