The Ninth Sense: Hunan Cuisine (火宫殿)

Another long overdue entry~ We are quite done with our Hunan's journey, though I skip a rather whole lot of uninteresting spot~ Which means we are left with the most important part of a trip(besides sightseeing), food~

If you google(or rather Baidu) for famous Hunan cuisine, this will surely pop up...The Fire Palace(火宫殿)

Fancy to try the most authentic Hunan cuisine?~ You are in the right place~

It is located in Chang Sha Huang Xing Road Shopping Street(长沙黄兴路步行街)...this is actually their newer branch, not so sure where is their main outlet~

There are trolleys of famous hunan cuisine for you to choose from~ Or simply just order anything that you find interesting on the menu~

This pancake was a bummer though~

Very nice~crispy and fragrance...taste was not bad either~

Cold dish~ Not too bad actually, perhaps abit too spicy~

Their very own special type of tofu~ Very different than the conventional yellow bean tofu~ Theirs has more of a chewy texture~good~

Some sort of yam thingy~ Not acceptable~

Some glutinous rice with filling.....special and nice~

Fried banana...thats what written in the menu~ Was wondering how different is it from our goreng pisang~ Turn out we were surprised yet again~ Instead of fried banana, it should be fried banana paste or dough~ Nevertheless, very nice!

Walnut tarts~ Nice and crispy~ Slurp!

Their durian tarts!!! Simply awesome! Lip Smacking good!

eggplant...pfft..total failure

Some sort of mix vege...just fair

Another must try! Not so sure what is it anymore but totally fantastic! Few types of meat, vege and carbo/noodle structure thingy(The best I could describe).......40 bucks per plate..but totally worth it~

It was finished in a jiffy~

Egg wrap~ Always nice~

Forgotten what it is~

Steam dumplings....as good as it can be~

Again, not sure what it is anymore~

Fried dumplings~ of course its nice~

Better off with their special spicy sauce~

Towards the end of our meal, thought of wana have some local fried noodles, just to try~

So we ordered "炒面"(fried noodle).......the waiter seems unconvinced~ remind us that, this is not fried noodle, but fried flour!(炒面粉) Totally intrigued by what might be served, we decided to order one~

This was what presented ---- fried flour~ Tasted more like our sesame paste really(芝麻糊)~But more oily and stuffy~
