HUNAN

Originally opened in 1982, Hunan is a five star culinary experience from start to finish. The ever-changing set menu of 18 well-crafted tapas size courses guides you on a culinary voyage across China, celebrating slow dining in a tastefully decorated setting that carefully adheres to feng shui principles. The restaurant is steeped in the adventurous ethos of its original founder and chef Mr Peng, who made the decision to relinquish the menu after he kept serving guests dishes that were different from what they ordered, because he wanted them to try something new. Particular highlights include the french chips (green beans deep fried in light, satisfying batter), the famous steamed bamboo cup soup (full of a flavoursome broth stewed with a pork mousse) and the black cod in vinegar reduction (a recipe that took five years to perfect).
