Wuhan Food House

Aw.... the coffeeshop opp my house is undergoing a 3wks renovation. How boring it would be when it's closed. Dad would have to go to another place for coffee and I, would have to stay at home instead.

Today, I went to Chinatown... Chinatown Point, in search for Wuhan Food.
Wuhan food house is located at the basement of Chinatown Point. The location is very accessible. Yu wouldnt miss it when u r walking towards Hong Lim complex.
Shanghai is famous for XLB, Beijing: Roast Duck, Sichuan: Mapo Doufu. What About Wuhan?The answer is Duck and Tou Pi.
Different parts of the duck such as Head, internal organs, feet, tongue are being briased. I wouldnt dare try it as i do not like duck meat.
Another speciality is Tou Pi. I thought it was Braised Tau Kwa. However, the waitress told me the ''Tou Pi'' is a snack made from glutinous flour and it is savoury.

They have set lunch for 1 pax($7.80): Pork/chicken/seafood
Veg/Egg for the day
Soup of the Day

I ordered Stir-fried caixin and Mapo Doufu. I requested the veg to be less salty and oily. However, i saw still see a layer of oil at the top of the sauce. My lips turned ''shiny'' after eating it.

The mapo tofu is meant for sharing, though there wasnt much tofu in it, they were generous with the minced pork. It wasnt very spicy but my tongue is a little numb after eating it.

It's worth a try if u are interested in Wuhan's cuisine. Many older folks would order coffee and sit outside the shop to chit chat.
Wuhan food house opened another branch at The Central.
