Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant @ Bugis

[Closed]
23th Dec 2010

The last visit to Nanxiang at Plaza Singapura was a pleasant one and left us with a $40 cash rebates voucher which expired by end Dec 2010. This gave us an excuse for a revisit. With family friends from Bangkok for a visit, we decided to bring them to Nanxiang at Bugis for dinner. However the quality of food was disappointing as compared to Plaza Singapura outlet. We ordered quite a few items and there were more misses than hits.

King Size Steamed Bun - S$6.80++

Still prefer the normal size steamed bun, the bun skin was pretty thick but the stock was rather tasty.

Crab Roe Steamed Bun - S$11.80++

More rich tasting than the crab meat steamed bun but I find the skin a bit thick.

Tofu with Century Egg - S$4.50++

Pretty ordinary.

Crab Roe Prawn Ball - S$2.60 each

One of their signature dish but didn't win us over too. Recycle oil was used to deep fry the prawn balls and was too much flour instead of prawn was used for the fillings.

Salted Egg Yolk Prawn - S$12.80++

This was nicely executed. The salted egg yolk batter lightly coated the prawn and deep fried till crisp. Very tasty.

Stir Fried Dou Miao - S$9.80++

Chicken Chop Fried Rice - S$8.50++

Both rice and chicken were bland tasting and lack of wok hei.

Shanghai Fried Noodle - S$7.80++

Not bad but some of us find it too ordinary and sweet tasting.

Chilled Sweetened Water Chestnut - S$3.30++

This was very light and refreshing.

Mango Pudding - S$3.80++



These were some of the dishes we ordered the last time too.

Drunken Chicken - S$6.80++ / Crab Meat Steamed Bun - S$9.00++ / Shanghai Vegetables Rice - S$7.00++ / Pumpkin Cake - S$3.60++

Tang Dian Wang Shanghai Restaurant

Tang Dian Wang, attracted by the glamourous decor & ambience, thus decided to have our dinner there on Friday.

Crunchy Golden Mushroom - S$7.80

Golden mushroom coated with crispy & light batter. A nice snack and the portion was really big, enough for 6.

Golden Crisp Salted Fish & Minced Pork Pancake - S$9.80

The inside was juicy and the outside was crispy. Quite tasty but a bit oily. Again, the portion was big too, 8 big slices but ate more than one slice a bit 'jerlard'.

Pork Dumplings in Sichuan Chilli Oil - S$4.50

This dish was not as expected. I thought the dumpling supposed to soak in red spicy chilli oil but this was like soaking in black vinegar instead.

Chicken with Fragrant Chives & Onions - S$9.80

The chicken was dry, tough and bland. Disappointed as this was their signature dish but the accompanied chives and onions greenish sauce was quite nice.

Steamed Egg Tofu w/Baby Clams - S10.80

The egg tofu was smooth but the seasoning was a bit bland and would prefer the sauce to be more savoury than sweet.

Braised Chinese Cabbage w/Ginko Nuts & Dried Scallop - S$8.80

Thumb up for this. The sauce was rich and flavourful. All of us liked this very much.

Simmered Bee Hoon with Roasted Duck & Runny Egg - S$9.80

This was quite nicely done and very homecooked style. The stock was flavourful with runny egg added that made the beehoon very smooth. Nice. The portion was enough for 2-3 pax.

Slice Grouper Congee - S$9.80

This was more porridge than congee. My family liked this but I would prefer it to be more fine and watery like the cantonese style. Taste was ok and japanese purple sweet potatoes were added.

Double Egg Fried Rice - S$7.80

The fried rice was nice. Salted fish was added to give a richer taste but a bit oily.

The pricing and ambience are good. The food are served in rather big portion so do not over ordered. We seem to have over-ordered and generally the food was so so only. But, the soup and lotus rice seem nice, maybe next time we will be back to try.

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao

After attending workshop at Shermay's yesterday, met up my family for dinner at Crystal Jade La Mian XLB for a quick dinner. Actually we planned to have zi char at one of the coffee shop but the weather was so warm yesterday that I suggested to eat at Crystal Jade instead.

Well, the food was not really fantastic. The Xiao Long Bao's skin a bit too thick and the fried dumplings even worst, the skin was thick and chewy. Is it their standard drop or due to change of chef? However, the dumpling in chilli oil and spicy sauce cold chicken la mian were delicious and appetizing. I like it very much.
