When I want good Sichuan food in a slightly classier setting, Paradise Dynasty at Ion Orchard is always my first thought. The laziji here is perhaps my favorite in flavor - fairly crispy but not overly fried, and with a hint of sugar to take the edge off some of the spiciness. The $12 price point is also very reasonable given that the restaurant is quite classy compared to other Sichuan venues.

Other dishes here are also very good. I'd suggest avoiding peak hours unless you want to queue 30+ minutes.

In addition to their ION Orchard branch, they also have outlets at Lot One, Causeway Point, Westgate, VivoCity, and Changi Airport T3.
