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 | PAUL Restaurant


Be a smart diner, grab their All Day Set Special from 11.30am onwards, Mondays to Fridays (except for Public Holidays). Lucky me and my friend. Spotted this offer and headed straight in.

At $15.80 per set, you get the following:

  1. Appetizer: Soup of the day or Prawn Cocktail Salad
  2. Main course: Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce or Pan fried Salmon Steak
  3. Dessert of the day (check with the staff)
  4. Drinks: Homemade Iced Tea, Coke or Coke light
Because there were two of us, so we enjoyed the best of both world. Anyway, there are only two choices.


Appetizer

I fancy their Prawn Cocktail Salad. Especially when mixed with the sauce that tastes like Thousand Island. The vegetable soup was good too (my friend said it was broccoli) but the bread was extremely hard to consume even after dipping in the soup, in hopes that it could soften it. But it didn't.



Pan Fried Salmon Steak

Fresh is the word that I can use to describe the salmon steak. Finely mashed and savoury potatoes to match. And a little crunchiness from asparagus. Overall, decent taste but no hype over it.



Roasted Chicken Thigh in Rosemary Sauce

Tender and flavourful meat. All thanks to the roasting skills of the chef and also their rosemary sauce (the saving grace on the overall taste). At least, a little moisture on the meat was retained that made it less dryer. 



Dessert of the Day: Raspberry Cake

Every meal should end with a dessert. Especially something sweet. And I would say you get a layer of taste from this slice of cake: light flavour on the outer layer of jello, creamy and smooth on the second layer (cheesecake I suppose) to a mix of sweet and sour taste from the middle section (berries especially), you don't know how to react and just squeak a little. Good attempt. Like sending a shock wave to the entire body. 

I would think that if an expensive restaurant has set meal offers like this plus you are not so particular with taste, go on and dine in now. If not, just pay more for better choices. The former is just right for me though. Bucket list checked.
