Xiao Xuan Feng

I had lunch @ Xiao Xuan Feng (Tiong Bahru Plaza). There's only 2 stores in Singapore- Tiong Bahru Plaza and Hougang Mall. But who would want to travel to the east side since im staying @ the West part of singapore.

Xiao Xuan Feng is located at the ''outside'' of tiong bahru plaza. You can locate it by just following the direction sign after u alight from the MRT Station. The restaurant itself is quite small. You can choose to sit inside/ outside but it's more spacious outside.

The menu is divided into 2- Tim Sum and Main dishes. The signature dish are being highlighted and pictures being illustrated. I asked for recommendations and the waitress who served me told me everything is recommended. I ordered the Stir-fried white cabbage which is under chef's recommendations. The white cabbage were stir-fried with minced garlic and a little oyster sauce. It wasnt too salty and they were crunchy. I like this but portion a little too small.

There's a 25% discount for tim sum between 10am-8.30pm(valid only for dine in). There wasnt much variety to choose from but u can get ur usual har gaw, XLB, Siew Mai. I actually ordered the deep-fried tofu but when the dish arrived, it became beancurd roll with prawns. I think they made a mistake but the waitress told me that was my order. I did not want to make a fuss out of it so i gladly accept. The beancurd roll with prawns consist of 2 deep-fried beancurd, with a few tiny shrimps in it. The shrimps were tasteless and at least the beancurd sheets were crispy. Many restaurants fail to do well in this dish. The shrimps were either unfresh, beancurd skin too thick or the rolls were too soggy. So far, i have not taste a good one.

The service here is friendly, probably there wasnt much customers at that time. Generally speaking, the food is quite acceptable and price is quite reasonable.
