THIS HUNAN UMAMI @ CWB IS A MUST

 

We were in CWB around lunch time this past weekend and without a booking walked into this new Hunan restaurant behind Time Squate. To put it mildly we were blown away by the authenticity of the taste and the friendly service. Opened a year or so ago on the 6F of the Holiday Inn Express the immediate reaction was “fresh & clean”!  It felt that everything is in place, and no hint of that unmistaken smell of cooking oil and in this case, spices which normally takes over your senses. The menu is substantial with a generous collection of items, some seldom seen, even at venues under the Hunan cuisine umbrella. Our waitress was a bundle of joy, bubbly and eager to introduce us to their signatures. We were hungry and greedy which led to over-ordering and we were so glad we did. Between excellent choices in the appetisers, mains and veggies the lunch was a wonderful introduction. I do not know how one should address the menu because the best and only way to is to go through it page by page, dish by dish, and order a wide selection as we did.h

Hunan Weiguan .. loosely translated as “House of Hunan Flavors” or to be more esoteric “Hunan Umami” .. is a must. Do it soon. We were told that weekend lunch time is in fact less busy. You can book a private room without a minimum charge, now, you cannnot be more civilised than that?
