Chinese cuisine is a staple the world over. One of the most known is Hunan, or Xiang, Cuisine, known for being spicy, sour, and salty. Think of it as Sichuan cuisine\u2026 but less sweet and tongue-numbing spiciness.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, places that serve authentic Hunan cuisine are hard to come by\u2026 unless you pay a regular visit to Binondo\u2019s Chinatown. Uncle Mao\u2019s Authentic Hunan Cuisine<\/strong>, located along Neptune Street, seeks to give people of Makati a taste of what the Hunan region is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

MAKATI\u2019S NEW GO-TO CHINESE RESTAURANT. Uncle Mao\u2019s gives you authentic Hunan cuisine without getting burned\u2026 much.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the outside, Uncle Mao\u2019s will not exactly scream Chinese restaurant. A step inside will take you to restaurants you\u2019d typically see in Binondo: you\u2019ll find red accents and round tables, as well as private rooms which can hold 10-15 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Mao\u2019s menu is extensive to say the least. They have at least 70 dishes to choose from: there\u2019s seafood, dry pot, clay pot, hot and spicy, soups, mains\u2026 you name it. Spiciness, however, has been adjusted to suit the Filipino palate, to ensure no one gets burned. They also serve a non-spicy menu for people who don\u2019t like it hot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Steamed<\/p>\n

SO MUCH SHRIMP.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of their featured dishes is the Steamed Garlic Shrimp. The serving size is big enough for at least 3 people to share without one feeling left out. There\u2019s garlic for days, and the presentation is spot on. It\u2019s spicy, but not too spicy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Preserved<\/p>\n

PORK IS GOOD. However, pork with dried radish looks and sounds better.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another featured dish is the Preserved Pork with Dried Radish. Watch out for this one, since it is spicy. The heat, however, is balanced by the saltiness of the preserved pork as well as the taste of the dried radish.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best things about Chinese restaurants is that they always have large servings, good for 2 to 3 people. This definitely holds true for Uncle Mao\u2019s. Their prices may be steep, but with that much food for sharing, you and your friends will not find yourselves with a hole in your pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Mao\u2019s Authentic Hunan Cuisine can be found at the 2nd<\/sup> floor of ASSI Building, Neptune Street, Bel-Air, Makati. They are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. For reservations, you may call 0927-762-6017 or 0909-358-5997.<\/span><\/p>\n
