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 | Yechun Xiao Jiang Nan Teahouse

Happen to come across this Chinese restaurant while in search for our dinner place at Marina Square. So we decided to give it a go since there was no queue at that time (around 4-5+ in the afternoon). That is quite an early dinner. After that crazy rain that had drenched both myself and my husband when we visited the Artbox on the start of their first day. It can be quite tiring to brave the rain and ended up with nothing but wet.

So to my readers, this is how I go about doing food review. And most of them, I paid for it unless otherwise stated. 



Xiao Long Bao


The skin was thin and not too doughy. Passed the basic expectation of Xiao Long Bao. Still need a little improvement. 


Siew Mai 


My husband thought it was the usual siew mai and when it was served, we didn't really bother much until the first bite. It was filled with glutinous rice within. When asked, they said this was China type of siew mai. Okay. That was very new to us. Taste was fair. 


Spring Rolls


Mediocre taste. But at least for me, I will always order a plate of spring rolls when having dim sum. That is like a must-have every time.


Pan-Fried Pork Buns


This is acceptable though the fillings can be a little generous. I love this dish since the first time I had in Hainan Island, China. 


Fried White Fish


Nice. Good to go with a bowl of rice. Crunchy on the outside and the seasoning was just right.


Yang Zhou Style Fried Noodles


This plate of noodles was good. At least a saving grace overall. Noodles was succulent.


White Fungus with Red Dates


Ordered a hot bowl as dessert. I prefer white fungus not overly cooked. At least a little crunchiness. And it had just one red date.  The taste, of course was fair. But kind of disappointing.

Worth or not? I personally think, no.
