The signature dish at South Memory restaurant in Shanghai is a fish head strewn with red and green chilies, served with noodles on the side. It comes from the fiery Hunan cuisine and is often compared to Sichuan food, though it has a distinctly "drier" hotness, made with fresh ingredients and pure chilies. FYI, the fish to chili ratio is 1:1 for this dish, so make sure you order an ice cold beer to counter the heat.
