Small Hunanese restaurant has to have a lot of guts to open along Kangding Street in Shanghai, a short stretch of around 1 km with eateries along both sides.

Chopped chives with century egg, strange combination.
砂钵外河黄骨鱼 tofu with yellowhead catfish
The first time I had yellowhead catfish 黄辣丁 was in Chengdu. They were live and thrown directly into the boiling hotpot. Really cruel, but the fish was sweet and tender. According to TCM, yellowhead catfish can help with easing water retention in the body and good for spleen. When cooked with green beans and garlic, the medicinal properties are magnified. So you always see them cooked with tofu and garlic in stock.
长沙臭豆腐 Changsha stinky tofu
Mao’s favourite Changsha snack. They are black and they are smelly, but they are heavenly in the mouth, just like blue cheese. Coupled with the spicy Hunan chilli, match in heaven.
