A Culinary Adventure Through Hunan’s Boldest Flavors @ Nong Geng Ji

February 7, 2025 by StrawberrY Gal

At Nong Geng Ji, every dish is a masterpiece of spice, heat, and umami, crafted with the freshest ingredients and prepared using time-honored techniques. From sizzling stir-fries to rich, aromatic broths, each plate tells a story of tradition, passion, and unrelenting flavor.

Stir-Fried Cauliflower from Yunnan

A humble dish transformed into something extraordinary—this stir-fried cauliflower is packed with wok hei (the coveted “breath of the wok”), giving it a delightful smoky aroma. The tender yet crisp cauliflower absorbs the deep umami flavors of the sauce, making it a simple yet utterly satisfying start to the meal.

Sauerkraut Fish With Soup

Love the blend of tangy, spicy, and savory flavors. Tender, flaky fish fillets are simmered in a rich, golden broth infused with pickled mustard greens (suan cai), creating a deep, complex taste that is both refreshing and deeply satisfying. The gentle sourness of the sauerkraut perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the fish, while a touch of fiery Sichuan peppercorns adds a delightful tingle to each spoonful. Every sip of this comforting soup is a burst of umami, making it a must-try for those who appreciate bold, well-balanced flavors

Stir-Fried Pork with Abalone and Chilli

A feast for the senses, this signature dish is a perfect showcase of Hunan’s love for spice and depth. Tender slices of pork leg are wok-tossed to perfection with succulent abalone, fiery chillies, and fresh Hunan green peppers. Each bite bursts with a medley of flavors—the rich, savory umami of the pork, the luxurious sweetness of the abalone, and the addictive heat of the chillies. It’s a dish that keeps you coming back for more.

Stir-Fried Beef with Dried Chilli

A true Hunan classic, this dish delivers smoky, spicy, and intensely flavorful bites in every forkful. Thinly sliced, tender beef is stir-fried with aromatic dried chillies and spring onions, creating a tantalizing heat that lingers on the palate. The perfect balance of charred smokiness and deep umami makes this an absolute must-try for spice lovers.

Signature Grass Fish Fillet with Chilli

A showstopper dish that captures the essence of Hunan cuisine—delicately steamed fish fillets bathed in a vibrant, tangy pickled chilli sauce. The fish is melt-in-your-mouth tender, while the bold, citrusy spice of the pickled chillies creates an explosion of flavors that is both electrifying and deeply satisfying. This dish is not just a meal—it’s an experience.

Pan-Seared Green Chilli with Century Egg

An unexpected yet irresistible combination, this dish masterfully balances the mild heat of green chillies with the rich, creamy depth of century egg. The result? A smoky, velvety delight that surprises and satisfies in every bite.

White Rice with Sweet Potato and Red Dates

A simple yet heartwarming side, this dish pairs fluffy, fragrant rice with the natural sweetness of golden sweet potatoes and nutritious red dates. The subtle interplay of savory and sweet makes it the perfect companion to the bold flavors of the main dishes.

Deep-Fried Glutinous Rice Fritters

Crispy on the outside, chewy and delightfully sweet on the inside—these golden fritters are heavenly little bites of glutinous rice perfection. Each piece is a crunchy, caramelized treat that adds a touch of indulgence to your meal.

Signature Lemon Tea 

With all the fiery, intense flavors on the table, a refreshing glass of Signature Lemon Tea is the perfect way to cleanse the palate. Bright, citrusy, and invigorating, it’s the ideal balance to the heat of Hunan’s famous spices.

For those who crave bold, unapologetic flavors and an authentic Hunan dining experience, Nong Geng Ji at The Exchange TRX is an absolute must-visit. From its expertly crafted dishes to its inviting ambiance and impeccable service, every element comes together to celebrate the vibrant essence of Hunan cuisine.
