Xuelian Liu
Biography
Private Chef Xuelian, grown in Sichuan, is one of the most popular chefs on MobiChef. She uses her homemade chilly sauce and sesame oil to prepare Sichuan country-style dishes at Gourmets’ own place. She insists on using her own sauces and believes that it is the best way to illustrate her style of Sichuan cuisine.

Sichuan cuisine is not just spicy as how it’s perceived. Xuelian would like to bring Gourmets a wider variety of Sichuan dishes including non-spicy dishes Pork Belly, Deep Fried Crispy Pork Slides, CiBa Dumplings, SiChuan Preserved Eggs.

This is our 4th booking of Xuelian. Our guests enjoyed Xuelian’s food a lot and were impressed by her culinary skills. Her dishes never disappoint and we got to try some new seasonal dishes whilst we kept some of our favourites on the menu. She is very humble and has an excellent manner. Definitely one of our favourite home chefs!

我們點了“川宴淺嘗“作午餐。
雖然我們有11個人但是份量仍然十分充足。
頭盤的四川涼粉非常嫩滑，味道調教極好。芝麻油西蘭花淡淡的芝麻香與眾不同。
主菜的豆沙夾肉餅令各位十分驚喜，味道帶甜剛好中和頭盤吃過的辣菜，上臺不足五分鐘已消失。特色啲香辣肉片也從未吃。
雪蓮是一位非常用心的師傅，她準備的四川菜並非一般香港或国內酒家所吃到的。廚師一行二人細心禮貌地向我們解釋每道菜的特色。多謝雪蓮和她的團隊在香港帶給我們地道四川風味的一餐！

看了這麽多好評， 吃落還是有驚喜。先生第二天早上已經說要再了個飯局了。

每一道菜的味道都很“真”，跟在外面餐館吃的不一樣，辣的不是死辣。席間人人各有所好，自己比較喜歡蒜泥白肉（這個原來餐牌還沒有的！）沒吃過這麽清新的；還有剁椒魚。先生最愛辣子雞。

謝謝雪蓮帶給我們一個難忘的晚上！ 很期待下一次的聚會，試試新的菜式！

Xuelian is a very friendly chef and food she makes is traditional and delicious. She can also adjust the spiciness to fit your taste (don't ask for not spicy though, that's the essence of Sichuan food. I'd also like to highlight the sesame oil she used, the aroma of it was so strong, and it's actually homemade !!!!!

Our lady chef siulian cooks with passion and we have enjoyed our dunne tremendously. She makes all of her sauces and all ingredients were brought back from her hometown. The food is truly authentic and she set the standard so high that I won't be able to go to a regular sichuen restaurant anymore. I would highly recommend her.

We have heard about this sze chuan chef for some time and finally made a day for the dinner! Xue Lian did not disappoint us. We all enjoyed alot. She arrived on time and keep busy working in the kitchem i reli appreciate that chefs put effort and passion to work out a high standard dinner.

All the food are excellent, to highlight, the spicy potato, which looks like ordinary sze chuan food but you'll be in love with its unique crispy texture. Also, since xue lian got some 花生芽 in market, she added this to our starter, my first time trying this ingredients. We casted a vote for our favourite dish, and half of us voted the pork belly with red bean paste, this is a non spicy sze chuan banquet dish as chef describe, the meat simply melted in mouth, impressive!

This is also the first-time mobichef dinner for most of my friends, and we all agreed that this is the best way to have our gathering, we can talk comfrotably without rushing, without noise from next table, and i can eat at home som my dog will not miss me too much, haha. thank you again

食完餐飯隔咗成個月先至寫評價，實在係愧對廚師了！不過，剛剛再睇多一次當晚吃的菜式相片，我又可以有機會再回味一次，感覺也不錯！之前聽朋友講，次次定這位師傅的川菜都可以品嘗到第二日，因為菜式實在是很多... 這點我非常同意！

今次因為在座的朋友也不是首次吃雪連師傅的私房菜，我特別地跟廚師溝通好，將個別菜式upgrade 了一些新菜式，當然我們都一致想念的夾燒肉及水煮魚保留着啦。

今次前菜有一個牛舌，做得非常入味，亦是我們第一次品嚐，另外廚師跟我們說她也開始多做海鮮，於是做了一個麻辣鮑魚，效果也十分不錯呢。甜品更加是喜出望外，冰粉之前都在其他地方吃過，但這個冰粉原來是廚師自己手搓的，非常細滑，全部人食完都覺得非常之解辣，是一個很好的結尾!

多謝廚師給她的丈夫忙了一整天的烹調，我們都超滿足，期待下一次再定你的四川菜啊。

Experience with Xuelian is always fantastic! This is actually my 2nd time trying Xuelian's food. 1st time at my friend's place and I absolutely love it! Finally got a chance to invite her to my home (not too many of my friends are good with spicy food unfortunately).
Have heard of how good the poached sliced fish in hot chili oil is before and finally got a chance to try it! 1st time that I've indeed drunk the soup (which is made of chicken, fish bones and chili)!
I have never been a big fan of red bean past food but I absolutely loved the roasted pork belly layered with sweet red bean paste and sticky rice as well! Even the sweet red bean paste was home made. It wasn't very sweet but just right and it has such a good smell of red bean as well!
I've told Xuelian in advance that I really like the dried port from Sichuan (tried it once at my friend's place) and she was soooo nice to make some for me without extra charge, even though it was not on the menu!
The deep fried marbled pork was mouth-washing too! Even though it was deep fried, you didnt feel it being oily at all!
My friends also like the crispy and spicy shredded potatos and the spicy shrimps. All in all, an extremely good experience with Xuelian and will definitely invite her back if I have a chance to!

朋友見我常常推介, 一直說要約一起試雪蓮的川菜, 今次終於約齊人, 而雪蓮亦不負眾望, 帶給了我們一個十分愉快的晚上!! 最考起廚師的是今次的朋友中, 有人吃得很辣, 有人只吃BB 辣, 但最後大家都吃得十分滿足。

因為我和另一位朋友都不只第一次品嘗雪蓮的出品, 所以菜單是結合了我們的心水之選 + 一些之前一直想試又未試的菜式。雪蓮的菜式實在太多了, book 這麼多次都沒試完, 而每次她都會給我們意外的驚喜! 今次的手撕雞是小辣版, 大家都說小辣更有雞味。鹵水豬手、茄子都是第一次吃, 原來她的鹵水非常出色，下次必再試其他的。

令我很想再快點再安排一個小辣私房菜!

Thanks to Mobichef for arranging my birthday dinner. It was the second time we enjoyed Mobichef’s service, & both times were equally inspirational & delightful!

Chef Xuelian Liu, assisted by her most resourceful & knowledgeable husband, made a wonderful team. The menu was custom made to include a combination of our favorite dishes while maintaining a fine balance between varying degrees of spiciness. All dishes were delicious & aesthetically presented, with each being a manifestation of Chef Xuelian’s unique style of authentic Sichuan cooking. Ingredients used were fresh & carefully selected, & many of which were in fact home produced by the Chef according to her own secret recipes. Service was highly commendable as we were well informed by the Chef’s husband regarding the history/ stories related to the production of each dish!

It was a fabulous dinner which provided food, not only for the jaded palate, but also food for the soul!

永遠不會失望的菜式！
衷心的謝謝雪蓮！

自從懷孕後都沒有訂雪蓮，雖然她有很多不辣又美味的川菜，但我知道自己見到辣的菜式一定忍不了口。一直抑制著這「川菜癮」直到這天終按奈不住，請雪蓮度身訂製了個合適的菜單! 由下單的一刻已一直期待著!

今次同桌另1友人都是孕婦，雪蓮為我們特別煲了1個雞湯，為我們兩個專門做的，十分貼心！實在感激她的心意！

My menu:

香油西蘭花
酸辣木耳(微辣)
川味涼粉(微辣)
炸酥肉
沙參煲雞湯
芝麻藕片
手撕雞（不辣）
蒜泥白肉
夾燒肉
水煮魚
手撕雜菇
紅油抄手
南充粉
糖粑粑

由頭到尾都非常出色! 今次跟朋友請雪蓮聚餐，家人已「呷醋」，說他們也很掛住她的菜，看來很快又會見了!

It was an amazing family dinner! It was a family gathering at home, Chef Xuelian’s food was liked by all ages including our grandma and the 3-yo!

Our kitchen isn’t a big one, a typical Hong Kong kitchen that stands around 2-3 persons. But Xuelian and her husband were able to cook over 15 dishes there! Each dish was out of expectation and give us a new definition of See-Chuan cuisine. I feel so glad that I finally chose her as our chef even some of the family members were worried that See-Chuan cuisine is oily. It turned out that it is not oily at all, even the chicken stock was prepared from fresh chicken at our own kitchen!!!

I cannot tell which dish is our favourite, we voted for different dish after the dinner, so the conclusion is: all of them are 5++++ star-rated!

Thank you Chef!

第一次食正宗的四川菜，辣到大家High High地！全晚有好多花工夫、時間和心機的菜式，絕對值得稱讚！大家都很喜歡這一凹一凸的夫妻檔，嬌羞羞的雪蓮廚師一直在廚房認真工作，說話不多蠻Cool的; 開飯時，富哥細心詳細的介紹令我們的晚餐生色不少。煮完成餐，終於見雪蓮廚師開懷談笑了！
We were really impressed how they walk us thru this Spicy Dining experience!
Learned a lot from their special ingredients n how "Serious", "Professional" they r towards the spices n tastes. The whole Dining experience is very completed n rich n brilliant!! There were 6 of us in the dinner, and each of us has a fav dish from the menu.
I like those cool appetizers.

we enjoyed the sichuan dinner. chef xuelian and her husband fu did not disappoint. the menu was interesting and included some dishes from the chef's home village and so was different from what we have experienced so that was a treat. the original menu was already plenty but they gifted us with saliva chicken and tossed noodles `to sample', and they were delicious as well. we look forward to trying her other menus. thanks again.

We had Chef Liu visited our home last month. She cooked fabulous Sichuan dishes that night and all 8 of us enjoyed so much. Each single dish she made was all well cooked, very authentic and most important excellent taste. It truly changes our expectation on Sichuan cuisine. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. Her husband is also very helpful, friendly and he explained each dish thoroughly which made us enjoy even more when tasting the dishes. Thank you so much for bringing such wonderful experience to us, we will definitely have them again in the near future!

We are so glad having chef Xuelian and her husband Fu came to our home and prepared such delicious Si Chuan dinner for us and our friends. Sure all the dishes are prepared from her heart. All the sauces & ingredients are prepared by herself and many materials are purchased locally at Si Chuan.

We had a wonderful conversation with Fu while chef is preparing all the dishes from zero ground. We feel very comfortable of the ingredients and sauces because they are not just purchased off from any supermarkets / stores but they made the sauces themselves to ensure no additive / chemicals are added. This is the KEY concern of food safety nowadays.

Regarding the spiciness, we were a bit concerned that many Si Chuan dishes are hot and spicy but in fact not. There are only a few dishes that are little spicy. Chef is very caring of the level of spiciness that everyone can accept by adjusting it accordingly.

We definitely having chef coming over to prepare us another meal soon.

Thank you again chef Xuelian & her husband Fu!!!!

好多謝雪蓮廚師及富哥的安排，此餐晚飯超好味。我與朋友們有讚不絕口，從醬汁至煮食材料選擇都是他們自己一手一腳做。了解後，我們對食物的安全更加放心。他們是用心做餸菜而不是只顧賺錢，多謝。

很快再見面吧！

This is our first Mobi Chef experience. We booked Chef Xuelian for a causal friend gathering. I was a bit worried at the beginning, as there were hardcore spicy eaters and non-spicy eaters among our group. Surprisingly, Chef Xuelian has tailor-made a great menu with a good balance between spicy and not spicy dishes. Every dish is authentic and delicious. Some of the dishes are even originated from Chef's hometown which haven't been seen before in other Sichuan eateries in HK. Throughout the dinner, chef's husband has shared some interesting stories with us about their ingredients and recipes, it has elevated the dining experience to another level. It was a night filled with great food, laughter, and lots of Sichuan cuisine learning. I would definitely recommend Chef Xuelian.

Xuelin and her husband John prepared a wonderful meal for us for Father's Day. There was altogether about 15 dishes but each dish was very delicious. As we had young children and elders, they were very attentive to how spicy we wanted our food. As they served each dish, they asked for our feedback along the way in order to adjust how spicy the next dish should be. Extremely good service and wonderful couple, and authentic home-made Sichuan food. Thank you so much for preparing the meal for us!

It was certainly an eye opening experience for us when Fu and Xue Lian presented their dishes one by one on our dining table. We knew very little about Szechuan cuisine though we kind of have the impression that they should be very spicy. Obviously, there is a lot more to it. A good number of dishes were rather mild or not even spicy at all. As for the spicy ones, they were actually quite delicate and the freshness of the ingredients was not overwhelmed. Also, the spices actually had quite a bit of depth as well, unlike the ones we had come across in restaurants which were usually quite one-dimensional. Overall, we were extremely satisfied and we even finished the leftovers the day after at lunch.

On top of the food, we were also very happy with the service. The chefs brought with them their own complete sets of tableware so it was pretty hassle free for us. When they explained the dishes, we could tell that they were extremely passionate about them. Xue Lian and Fu are the kind of chefs that get diners excited.

We have already booked our next meal with them.

The chef arrived on time and brought her own plates, equipment and utensils. The food was authentic Sichuan food and tasted much better than those in restaurants. Many of the dishes are not available in the Sichuan restaurants in Hong Kong and we were able to try a great variety of food, some of them spicy and some not. Overall, my guests enjoyed the cooking of Xuelian very much and Fu's detailed explanations. It was a very enjoyable evening.

幾個朋友都中意食辣野, 雖然我唔係好好辣, 但都一齊試下啦... 未試過廚師上門, 都好奇想試! 見到介紹入面大廚話四川唔係所有菜色都係辣, 食飯當晚發現有少少唔辣的菜都幾好, 中和下嘛! 隻雞同水煮牛都好讚呀 勁快清晒! 亞富仲不時出來廳介紹下, 真係好專業! 最印象深刻係他們會自已做辣椒油同麻油來煮送, 好認真。我們都有試下聞佢的麻油, 係真係香好多.
