Originated from China, Nong Geng Ji Hunan Cuisine 农耕记湖南菜 set foot in Malaysia few months back, opening its first Malaysia outlet at The Exchange TRX Mall (lower ground floor). The Chinese restaurant joint has been doing very well since its opening- with relentless queue and big crowd waiting eagerly to get their seats. As suggested by the name, the restaurant focuses on Hunan Cuisine so expect the menu to consist of some really spicy, salty Xiang cuisine. The prices are unfortunately on the higher side, expect to spend at least RM50 per pax here. Fortunately the food quality seems to be good (at least to us and plenty of good reviews online) and the flavor-combos are unique; do check it out if you happen to shop at TRX Mall.
Signature Grass Fish Fillet with Chilies 招牌湖蝶鱼 (Rm 65)
Beancurd Skin with Eggs 鲜腐皮焖甘榜蛋 (Rm 36)
Pan-Seared Green Chilies with Century Egg 擂辣椒皮蛋 (Rm 28)
Signature Lemon Tea 招牌柠檬茶 (Rm 14.90)
We were amused by the presentation of the Pan-Seared Green Chilies with Century Egg (the server will offer to mash it for you), turned out to be a concoction of Pan-Seared Green Chilies, Century Egg, raw Garlic, Oyster Sauce etc. The flavor-combo was pretty straight-forward but was good to spoon over rice. We also enjoyed the Signature Grass Fish Fillet with Chilies. Though the fish fillet seemed to be covered in Chilies, the dish was in fact, not as spicy as it seemed. The fish fillet was well-seasoned and fortunately, not as greasy as we were expecting... with crunchy and firm texture, which was very addictive. This dish is one of the best sellers at Nong Geng Ji. Another best seller- Beancurd Skin with Eggs 鲜腐皮焖甘榜蛋 got us puzzled. It was basically Beancurd Skin with scrambled Egg... as simple/direct as the appearance. Not that it was bad but for Rm36, we thought the dish did not offer the right value in return.
