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 | Mookata at Bugis Junction

Everybody knows I am gonna review another Thai BBQ a.k.a Mookata. This is the third place that I visit and I think I can conclude that Mookata is almost the same everywhere in Singapore. But here at Mookata Bugis Junction, it looks like we are having Korean BBQ because it has that smoke extractor on top every table. At least this is good because you won't smell like BBQ on your way home in the train. Minimize on that smell. 

Another thing I like about having Mookata is that the UFO like bbq cum steamboat able to make the soup taste so good. Because the bbq pan has little corners for the seasonings from those meat to flowing to the side into the soup with vegetables boiled in there. You will end up with a nice tasty soup. 


Like any other times, I would zoom into their set menu instantly because I need not think of what I want to have and the combination is just good enough and somtimes, sufficient for two. Enjoy every bits of everyting.

This is what we get for a set of 2 at S$34.90 (subject to GST & Service Tax). More of a portion of veggie and meat (chicken, pork, suriyaki, streaky bacon, pork belly, meatballs) with some seafood (prawns, squids, fishballs, crabsticks, otah fishcakes). Later on, we ordered an additional plate of Tom Yum Chicken that is of average taste. Go along with some cold refreshing homemade barley drink.




The only thing that I don't really like is the sound of dropped plate or whatever. Twice within that hour we got disrupted from our conversation because of that. Annoying much. 

So it is another Mookata experience at a different place (been to two others) and I have to say all of them are similar in a way or two. It depends of what they can offer in terms of the food varieties most of the time in order to define themselves from others. At least for me. Or maybe the cut of the meat they use, whether it is fresh and chewy after cook. Lastly and most importantly, it must be worthy the price. Whatever. Every individual will have their own thoughts and preferences. And that is mine.
