A Taste of China 🇨🇳 中国风味

The pork chop came with bones, which made it more tricky to eat than I’d like. The noodles were alright, nice and chewy, but the sauce felt too mild and lacked the rich, punchy flavour I was expecting. Overall, it just didn’t come together as I thought it would 》$9.20

Was hoping for more from this. The wanton skin was way too thick, making each bite feel heavy and doughy. The vinegar and chilli oil were there, but the flavours still felt muted. Without that punch of heat and tang, the whole dish ended up feeling pretty underwhelming 》$8.60

Crispy on the outside, bursting with flavour on the inside. The pan-fried bun platter features two signature pan-fried crispy pork soup buns and two prawn pan-fried buns.

The pork soup buns are bursting with rich, delicious broth (bite carefully to catch every drop). The prawn buns offer a lighter, subtly sweet contrast, still juicy but with a bouncy bite. Both deliver that golden, crackly base that makes pan-fried buns so irresistible. Best enjoyed fresh and piping hot 》$8.60

The spice was mild, and I was expecting a bit more tang, but the broth was still flavourful. Loved the silky egg tofu and crunchy bean sprouts—and they’re generous with the fish slices. The enoki and tomato added a nice touch too. Paired with fluffy white rice, it made for a comforting meal, though I do wish the sourness came through a little more 》$13.80 / Double Set

Shredded potatoes stir-fried till just tender with a light crunch, and tossed in a tangy vinegar-based sauce with hints of chili and garlic. It’s a classic Chinese comfort food with a zesty twist that I cannot miss 》$6.80 / Small

Spicy and fragrant chicken pot with thick and savoury broth, filled with endless chunks of chicken tender to the bite. The broth tastes quite similar to the mala hotpot sans the numbing effect. Additional side dishes are available (chargeable) for add-ons.

Fish covered with green peppers and topped with peppercorns. The recommended fish to go was limbo fish. It was grilled to crisp on the skin with tender and succulent flesh underneath. The fish was really fresh, smooth and falls off the bones easily. I always go for this flavour for its numbing > spicy flavours and it's great for people who love spicy food yet are not able to take too much spiciness (chilli oil).

As advised by the staff, I pushed the peppercorns into the gravy to make it more numbing to the mouth. I also added enoki and potatoes which were placed under the fish to let it simmer and absorb the savoury flavours from the gravy. Instead of pairing it with rice, I choose to go with plain noodles (similar to la mian) which turn out quite good with the numbing and slightly salty gravy 》$68.85

The skin on these XLB was tender and soft. Although the skin tends to be on the thicker side and not as prettily folded up, it holds the soup and fillings much better. The fillings were well marinated and flavourful with a bursting mouthful of soup in each bite. The broth in the XLB leans on the sweeter side but I like that it's less oily. This is definitely a bang for the buck at just $5.

Perfectly seared dumplings to a crispy golden bottom with tasty fillings. The skin has a nice combination of crispy and chewy on the other side with sweet and savoury flavours of fillings underneath. Every piece was stuffed with a substantial amount of filling and extremely value-for-money 》$7

When asked about their spice level, I was told to go for 小辣 if I am concerned it may get too spicy and that is how my MXG order cooked bland, not numbing and not spicy at all. It kind of ruined my MXG craving on a cold night 》$12.50

If you’re looking for Chinese skewers and want to enjoy BBQ food without getting smoke in your eyes then this is the place you have to visit. The skewers are grilled and placed over a platform with candles to keep the food warm. Their menu is also extensive which gives a good choice of variety. The only downside is the skewers get heavily seasoned with the same seasoning which leads to having similar tastes with different textures across all skewers. I would suggest giving the rather bland lotus root a miss and try the Sichuan spicy noodles that became my favourite dish that night.
