Authentic Hunan Restaurant
Pappa’s Stew Chilli Cuisine does Hunan-style food, a style popular all over mainland China for its smoking, curing and generous use of chillies. Like Sichuan cuisine, Hunan food is based on big flavours and copious amounts of spice. Hunan cuisine doesn’t use the Sichuan peppercorn, though; it relies on a balance of chilli-led spice and sourness.

Make New Memories at the Pappa’s Stew
Some dishes, such as 24-flavour hot pot and dried-chilli fried duck, can be seriously incendiary. Other dishes can be smoky or powerfully sour from being laced with vinegar or combined with fermented black beans, tofu, yellow soybeans or leafy greens. Some of the base sauces and stews can be quite complicated, including 20 or more herbs and spices.
About
Although our mission is clearly to spread tradition (the restaurant is even built to look like Hunanese wooden house), we are also keeping up with trends from China. Hunan’s is a dynamic cuisine and many young chefs in the province are popularising new dishes such as vinegar-soaked barramundi served whole, which is serving at restaurant.
Menu
Inspired by the culture of chef Vincent’s hometown, Pappa’s Stew brings the playfulness of Hunan food. Each day we bring you the best produce available by collaborating with our producers and suppliers. This allows us the freedom to only celebrate the very best ingredients of the day.
