Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), Suntec City

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), Suntec City

I've seen this chain from China about and haven't gotten around to try their food until now (#B1-159 Suntec City Mall, 3 Temasek Boulevard).

Their giant lemon tea was...not bad. It's a great drink as an intermission between their greasy dishes. All 800ml of it.

I don't know if it's one of those translation things but this was called crispy tofu stuffed with soy milk. It's just crispy tofu. There's a salty soya sauce and garlic that amped up flavours of the dish. Not bad.

Nicely done stir fried cauliflower. Loads of fried pork lard (猪油渣) and garlic that made this dish good enough to stand on its own with steamed rice. 👍🏼

Made sense to get a serving of their signature 湖南小炒肉 which featured a non spicy chilli, sliced kurobuta and some white fungus from Yunnan. Like the cauliflower before, this was great pairing with rice.

Pretty taken in by their picked mustard fish (酸菜鱼). The fish they used had a slightly crunchy texture unlike the usual mushy textured fresh water fish that's normally used. I'm not entirely sure about what else went into the broth but it was a little smoky and the word 'lard' keep sidling into the peripheral view of my mind. Anyways, I though this was a very nice rendition I'd love to come back to. 👍🏼

Not a fan of the flavours of their eggplant. I generally enjoy eggplant but I don't like how they did this.

Hmmm......nice and moist.
