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.

[RECIPE] Steamed Fish Fillet



[RECIPE PERFECT FOR 2]

I'm one that goes for discounts and offers in the supermarkets and every time I go Giant, I will look into the freezers for such deals. Frozen fish fillets always have great offers so how not to grab them home? Nowadays, seafood and fish are quite expensive (so are poultry) at wet markets so the cheaper option will be frozen ones (okay not all are cheap but keep your eyes open and you will find the best deal). And can be kept longer in the freezer if you don't cook often like us (we are weekend homecook). Whether it is meant for deep fry, bake or steam, the ingredients that we get for ourselves will always serve us in their very best way. 

Ingredients:

3 slices of fish fillet, slice into half

Preferred amount of salt, pepper and sesame oil 
(for seasoning, leave the seasoned fillet in the fridge for at least an hour or more before steaming)

Spring onions, chopped
(for garnishing)

Sauce:

Preferred amount of: soya bean paste, minced garlic, sugar, oyster sauce, chilli paste, chicken broth and mix well together. Do a taste test before adding more, if needed.

Method:

1. Turn on the heat and boil a suitable amount of water in the pot. Once the water is boiled, put in the seasoned fillets and steam for 10 mins. 

2. After 10 mins, bring out the plate and pour away the excess water from the steaming. Do not turn off the heat. Pour the sauce over the fillets and bring to steam for another 2-3 mins. 

3. Turn off the heat and garnish with spring onions.
