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.

Food Review | Tampopo

Stumble upon Tampopo when I was in town w the ladies and we made a deal to try out the next time we hang out. But since I'm in town w the husband, might as well try it out first. To save their calories from lousy stuff.

Tampopo is a family style Japanese restaurant that aim to serve with the best quality ingredients and is the pioneer of Kurobota (black pig) and has since named one of the best ramen in Singapore.

They have 2 restaurants in Singapore at Liang Court and Takashimaya. We visited the one at Takashimaya. 

IKA KARAAGE $11.00

This dish is tasty yet salty and have to go along with rice to minimize that saltiness. However this deep fried squid was good and chewy. Fresh ingredients indeed. Didn't squeeze the lemon as I always feel that it did not much help in enhancing the taste, like in Fish N' Chips.

KANI RAMEN $18.50

It didn't look that appetizing at one glance. But don't judge by its look. 


This is how it looks after mixing it. Lots of crabmeats you can find plus the noodles were well-cooked. The thicken soup base taste like sharkfins we had in a Chinese banquet. A good choice indeed. The egg was added in from their Mini Pork Rice ($4.80). The husband had the Ika Karaage with the Pork Rice. 

NABEYAKI UDON $13.50

Served in a mini hotpot, the broth was light and clear with just few ingredients to bring out the taste further. A light meal that simply ideal for weight watchers and comfort food during winter time. Definitely filled you 80% full towards the end. Unless you are a big eater.

Conclusion: Pricey but worth it once awhile.
