Spice Into the New Year: A Start-Work Lunch at Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine at 8-10 Mosque Street Happy Lunar New Year to all my readers, wherever you may be. I started work today (19.02.2026). Although not many colleagues were around, I still managed to gather a few close ones for a “start-work lunch” at a fancy restaurant that serves Chinese cuisine. After some discussion, we decided on Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine in Chinatown. Even better, it was my first time trying their food. I’ve always known it to be a popular spot with notoriously long queues. Thankfully, we arrived early because right after we were seated, a steady stream of patrons began pouring in. Snacks & Ice Cream Corner for patrons once you enter As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the Snacks & Ice Cream Corner located opposite the waiting area. I didn’t even realize it was there until we were about to leave! My colleagues especially loved the Golden Horn Snack, but I thought both options, including the Crispy Crust, were equally good. And yes, that...

On 24 July 2011, I finally completed my 5km run. I believe this time round, my timing has improved. But to avoid too much of guessing, I shall wait for the results to b out by next week. Satisfied! I have never tried running all the way till the finishing point. Because of my laziness and lack of determination and endurance. But today, I did it! With just a stop for drink station which is almost to the 4km point and continue with my run. On e verge of giving up, I walk a few steps and then push myself to continue because I am just 500m away from the finishing point. And I did it! Well done! Shall continue to jog for leisure and also for slimming down. Never give up!
