Central’s acclaimed fine-dining Sichuan restaurant debuts a fiery weekend barbecue brunch with unlimited sides and signature grilled meats.
Hong Kong’s culinary scene welcomes a bold new weekend tradition as Grand Majestic Sichuan, the opulent Central restaurant renowned for its vintage glamour and authentic Sichuan flavours, unveils its “Sichuan-Style BBQ Weekend Brunch.” Available every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday from noon to 2:30 PM, the brunch offers diners an immersive experience combining traditional Sichuan barbecue techniques with an elegant, 1960s-inspired dining environment. Priced at HK$588 per person (plus 10% service charge), the meal includes unlimited appetisers and classic Sichuan sides, plus a choice of one premium main course.
A Feast of Fire and Spice
The brunch showcases Sichuan barbecue prepared through wok-frying and oven-roasting methods, delivering smoky, aromatic flavours that define the region’s street-food heritage. Guests begin with an extensive array of complimentary appetisers that range from refreshing to intensely spicy. Highlights include Sichuan pickled vegetables, chilled shredded lettuce, spicy potato slivers, mouthwatering hand-shredded chicken, and Sichuan-pepper jellyfish. For those craving heat, the selection continues with chilli tofu, red-oil wontons, and sour-spicy tofu pudding—each offering a distinct layer of chilli, sweetness, or tang.
Four Main Courses, One Unforgettable Choice
Diners select one of four signature mains: grilled green-chilli fresh squid, Sichuan-style cod fillet, spicy grilled king prawns, or salt-and-pepper three-yellow chicken. The chicken receives special attention—marinated overnight, then roasted and finished in a wok for an extra-crispy skin. The prawns, notably large and already peeled for convenience, deliver a satisfying, bouncy bite.
For those seeking indulgence, two premium upgrades are available at an additional HK$88 each. The Sichuan grilled beef steak comes topped with scallion Sichuan-oil, fried garlic, and peanuts, amplifying the meat’s natural richness. The cumin-spiced lamb chop, meanwhile, balances bold spice aromatics with tender, flavourful meat. A grilled eggplant with garlic sauce offers a juicy, pungent vegetarian option.
Unlimited Sichuan Classics
The brunch’s appeal extends beyond the main course. Unlimited classic Sichuan sides include mapo tofu, fish-fragrant eggplant, smoked bamboo shoots with broccoli sprouts, egg-fried rice, and Sichuan cold noodles. These dishes, each a staple of Sichuan cuisine, ensure diners leave fully satisfied.
Dining in Vintage Splendour
Grand Majestic Sichuan’s interior is a feast for the eyes as well. Checkered floor tiles meet bold red velvet sofas, creating a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of a 1960s high-end restaurant. An outdoor terrace offers a more relaxed vibe for those who prefer al fresco dining.
