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...

Local Travel | Walking through Armenian Street

The last time I'm at this area will probably be the visit to Singapore Philatelic Museum for Harry Potter's exhibition. Read here if you haven't. Or even earlier than that will be my bro's ROM and mine. But if it hasn't been because I got my job here at Armenian Street, I won't have come here for no reason. But now I have every good reason to explore the place while I can before my contract ends. Document down the every sights here and share with you peeps. 

This is my everyday street view as I walk to my workplace from City Hall station. I would say this is an area where you get to see lots of heritage building. They look so sturdy and nice. Especially The Capitol building. It was torn down and rebuilt at the same location where it now stood. And also this is where Singapore Management University or SMU is located too. Unlike other local universities, SMU is in the heart of the city and you see the young and vibrant of this area. 




PERANAKAN MUSEUM

My workplace is just opposite the museum and since I have not been inside before, why not do so during lunch time? After all, is free (for me because I'm local). This museum used to be a school called Tao Nan. Lots for you to know and you can just google them. But I'm just gonna touch and go because it wasn't as fantastic as the one in Penang. Though over at the museum in Penang, I have to pay for the entry fee but is worthy and really a WOW-factor. You can read my post here if you haven't.

THE SUBSTATION

The first thing that attracts you is the mural graffiti or mural arts on one side of the building. So hipster! Like one of the graffiti says, it is like a post-museum thingy to view or take photos before you leave. And you will see lots of museum stickers on the lamp posts at the alley between Peranakan Museum and The Substation. 









On the other side of Peranakan Museum is an open carpark. And you can spot mural arts on the low walls too. Pretty prominent if you drive past right after Bible House. There is a story-telling sequence in this stretch of mural arts. About Singapore of course.










Hope you enjoy the mural arts walk-through above and shall end this post with a snapshot from my workplace where we get to see a faint sight of rainbow early in the morning near to Registry of Marriage (ROM).
