A tale of fire and spice

Nong Geng JI first opened in 2017 in Shenzhen, China and was an instant success. The restaurant specialises in Hunan cuisine and is the brainchild of passionate Chinese chef Feng Guo Hua, who has clinched numerous awards throughout his 30-year career.

Hunan cuisine is one of the eight great treasures of Chinese cuisine and is renowned for its robust, fiery flavours, down in large part to the huge quantities of chillies used in many of its dishes. Garlic, shallots and ginger are also sprinkled liberally in Hunan meals alongside fermented black bean and pickled vegetables.
