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...

Food Review | Segar Restaurant 食家小厨 [Halal Certified]

Yes! To my Muslim readers, here is my latest find. A Halal Chinese restaurant at Chinatown Point. If you have already know, that's great! If you haven't, read on.

Wasn't sure what to have for dinner, as usual. Wondering around the basement for something that both myself and the husband would want. Being typical Chinese, we settled in at Segar Restaurant. One look on the menu, it looks like Zichar stall but in a more comfy, air-conditioned place for dining. Ordered something simple to try.

Bittergourd Omelette - $8


This tastes more like Fu Yong omelette style (yes it is) but with bittergourd. It is not heavily seasoned so a little bland for me though. Slightly oily too. Probably it is meant to be this way because of how such omelettes are cooked. The first thing came into my mind is why bittergourd? Probably the others like with prawns, scallions, tomato and even chai po are too mainstream. Sounds more like home cooking huh? 

Hong Kong Kai Lan w Oyster Sauce - $10.80


Spot how shiny this kai lan is? We are guessing that they deep fried it before a quick stir-frying with the sauce. That leaves the stem on crunchy mode. I usually don't like having the stems but this one was okay. Anyway... mediocre taste. A common dish on a typical dining table. But not worth the price with such portion.

Pandan Leaf Chicken - $10.80



This pandan leaf chicken is the only one the husband is looking forward and yes... it didn't disappoint him, and me too. The taste is somehow like Prawn Paste Chicken at first but nice to have it along with some rice. Never dip the mayo because I always believe in having my food at its origin first, at least. It is good enough. Tasty. Try it!

I saw many tables with curry fish head. But wanted something light though. Probably you can head on down to Chinatown Point now. Have a peck or nibble of everything. Share the fats with your family and friends.
