[Albany] Wojia Hunan Cuisine

Stopped by Wojia last night .
Had 3 Things:
Sesame Bread / It was much fluffier than what I have had in the past. Seemed to me that it was steamed and then Pan fried? Tasty but would have liked more Sesame Seeds

Griddle Cooked Stir-fried Spicy Shrimp and Pork Ribs / Very much like Explosive Chili Preparations at many Szechuan Places. Seemed like the same Dish to me and was very good. Bit disappointed because I was hoping for a more exclusively Hunan Dish. I also had Lily bulb as an ingredient, first time I have seen it used in a Restaurant

Fried Glutinous Rice Ball / The most unusual Dish of the three. They were basically Tang Yuan(Sweet Black Sesame Dumplings) that had been fried instead of boiled and then Stir Fried with Ginger, Garlic and Dry Chili Pepper. Very cool contrasts in Textures and Flavors.

Super nice folks patient and helpful.

We will be back armed with more research on Hunan Dishes.
