Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), One Holland Village

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), One Holland Village

It was only recently that I realized that Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine has been rebranded from Hunan Cuisine Restaurant (密斯湘菜馆) which we've eaten at some years back. Now that it's dawned upon me, the revelation was that some dishes from the old restaurant that I liked were also lost when the Xiang Xiang phoenix rose from its ashes. 🐦‍🔥

This was the branch at Holland V (#02-19/20 One Holland Village, 7 Holland Village Way, tel : +65 6263 9170).

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), lemon tea

Giant lemon tea. I've a feeling we'll be getting this every time we're here.

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), fried vermicelli 干捞粉丝煲

Menu described this as fried vermicelli (干捞粉丝煲). Noodles which were savoury, flavoured with bits garlic & salted egg and was pretty moreish. It looked/tasted/sounded more local than Hunanese though.

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), cauliflower

Loved the cauliflower from the last time so we got it again.

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), cumin beef 铁板孜然牛肉

Hot plate cumin beef (铁板孜然牛肉). Did not like it because the meat has been sodium bicarbonated to death. Couldn't tell it was beef. The cumin flavouring was pleasant but that was where good ended. Will not get this again.

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), steamed pork ribs & taro 香芋蒸排骨

Never noticed their steamed pork rib and taro (香芋蒸排骨) previously. This one was nice. Rib on the bone was relatively tender and easily removed and the taro was delicious. What brought both together might be pork fat and salt. Will come back for this.

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜), suan cai yu 酸菜鱼

酸菜鱼 because we like the way they made theirs.
