Face off

The name recalls the song titles of the late Prince, but Face2Face’s brand of funk is founded on the numbing and burning qualities of Sichuan cooking. The latest addition at Dixon House, one of Chinatown’s more modest food halls, it’s all about the finely cut house-made wheat noodles. Get yours dry with peanuts, sesame and Sichuan-preserved vegetable, or in a fiery broth with bouncy chicken giblets and pickles. Face2Face Noodles, Dixon House food court, Little Hay St, Sydney
