Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜) at AMK Hub brings bold, rice-friendly Hunan cooking to Ang Mo Kio from #02-26 of the mall on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3. It is part of a brand that began in 2009 as the original 'Hunan Restaurant' on Smith Street in Chinatown, grew into 'Xiang Kitchen', and unified under the XIANG XIANG HUNAN CUISINE name in 2023 — a group that has since grown to 22 outlets across Singapore.
The kitchen centres on the dishes the brand is known for: Hunan Stir-Fry Pork, Golden Broth Sour and Spicy Fish made with fresh fish and crunchy pickles in a tangy broth, and the 18-Second Angus Beef Stir-Fry. The menu keeps evolving with seasonal arrivals, and premium sourcing — Iberico pork, Shandong screw pepper and Wuchang rice — underpins the cooking.
Dining is casual and family-friendly, with complimentary snacks and ice cream, a no-fuss return and exchange promise if there is an issue with a dish, and streamlined ordering designed to keep wait times down. The outlet also takes delivery orders through foodpanda and GrabFood.
Tucked into #02-26 of AMK Hub along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (湘香湖南菜) is the Ang Mo Kio outpost of one of Singapore's most recognisable Hunan restaurant brands. Like every outlet in the group, it serves the bold, chilli-laced, unapologetically rice-friendly cooking of Hunan province — the kind of food built around wok-fired aromas, tangy broths and dishes that make a bowl of steamed rice disappear faster than you planned.
The brand's story began in 2009, when the original 'Hunan Restaurant' opened on Smith Street in Chinatown and quickly gained a following for its authentic Hunan flavours. That success led to 'Xiang Kitchen' and, in 2023, the unified brand name XIANG XIANG HUNAN CUISINE. Today the group describes itself as a pioneer of Hunan cuisine in Singapore, having spent 17 years setting its own standard for quality and service, with a network of 22 outlets across the island by 2026. The AMK Hub branch carries the same formula: high-quality casual dining in a welcoming space suited to families and groups.
Three dishes anchor the menu. The Hunan Stir-Fry Pork is the house classic — irresistibly aromatic and expressly designed to be eaten with rice. The Golden Broth Sour and Spicy Fish pairs fresh fish with crunchy pickles in a tangy, palate-invigorating broth. And the 18-Second Angus Beef Stir-Fry is exactly what the name suggests: premium Angus beef with a pristine fat-to-lean ratio, seared just long enough to stay tender.
Beyond the signatures, the menu keeps moving. Recent arrivals have included Charred Chilli Chicken with Scallion Oil, where tender chicken meets smoky charred chilli and fragrant scallion oil; Spring Onion Kampong Chicken piled high with chopped spring onion; Honey-Glazed Crispy Prawns with a sweet-tangy glaze; Tomato & Egg Stir-Fry for a comforting, mild classic; and a Three Delicacies Tofu Prawn Stew that bubbles tofu in rich broth with fresh prawns. New dishes can vary from outlet to outlet, so it is worth asking what the AMK Hub kitchen is running that week.
Spice, it should be said, is not a single dial here. The menu is built to cater to diverse spice preferences, so heat-seekers can go straight for the charred chilli plates and sour-and-spicy broths, while milder dishes such as tomato and egg or stir-fried seasonal vegetables keep the table balanced for everyone.
The group leans on premium sourcing to back up its reputation: Iberico pork, screw pepper from Shandong and Wuchang rice all feature in its ingredient line-up. The experience comes with extras regulars appreciate — complimentary snacks and ice cream, a promise of return or exchange if there is a problem with a dish, and streamlined ordering designed to minimise wait times. The brand's site also displays recognition including the Epicurean Star Award 2025 and a SME500 listing.
Weekday lunches are the easy entry point: the 4-Piece Mix & Match Set lets you pick from favourites such as Hunan Stir-fried Pork and Golden Broth Sour and Spicy Fish alongside rice-friendly sides like Claypot Tofu Stew, Steamed Egg with Shrimp and Sour and Spicy Potatoes. It runs on weekdays only — weekends, public holidays and public holiday eves are excluded, and availability can differ by outlet. Tuesdays are branded Member Day, when members enjoy rotating perks such as special pricing on selected new dishes, so it can pay to join the programme before you go.
If you cannot make it down to Ang Mo Kio, the AMK Hub outlet takes delivery orders through foodpanda and GrabFood. Whether you dine in or order in, expect the same template that carried the brand from a single Chinatown shopfront to a national network: honest Hunan heat, generous rice-friendly plates and a room that welcomes families as readily as chilli enthusiasts.
