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.

Culinary | Hungry Post!

Recently, I have got no mood to maintain this blog. Lots of draft. Probably I should just post more photos than telling grandmother's story. Let's start.


BAKING

One day, I tried baking this choc chips but failed. Either I didn't mix well or I didn't handle the oven well. Boo... what on earth are those charred chips? 





COOKING


Obvious about what I'm gonna cook right? Yes... Laksa on a weekend despite the terrible weather. 


Here is a pot of Laksa. Lots of ingredients right? So love my Happy Call pot. Can contain just for 2 of us to last at least lunch and dinner. Bravo.


COOKING


One dinner on an evening of weekday. I totally run out of idea what to have for dinner. This shall solve it perfectly.


COOKING


Guess what I'm cooking? Answer is.................................................................... Hokkien Mee. I posted on FB Group and was asked for the recipe. But actually we based on our impression of Hokkien Mee to whip up the dish. Others might use prawns heads to boil the soup but what we did was you dry small shrimps to do the soup (for cooking). 


So tasty but then 2 things to improve: more moist and also not to use frozen squids. Overall taste was BEST!


BAKING

Used the pre-mix my SIL gave it to me but still, after many attempts in adjusting the temp, it failed. She encountered such problem too with this premix but no problem for others. 



Realize many poke holes right? Was testing if it is properly baked. But only the outer part is baked but not in the middle. Boo...


COOKING

One weekend dinner. There are veggie, soup and meat. 



Documented again my cooking + 30% of my hub's cooking. Basically cooking at home during weekend is love. Enough of takeaway food for 5 days straight. Sometimes I do cook my own dinner on weekdays if I feel like it. My own dinner. Not including the hub's dinner. His is mainly takeaway. 

Stay tune for updates. Probably soon...
