Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant (Closed)

I ordered the sauteed pork ribs in sweet sauce ($12.80), it has a thin layer of crispy flour and top garnish with sweet sauce.  It was crispy on the outside and tender pork on the inside.  Yummy!!I also ordered fresh pork filling xiao long bao ($6.80) which I can't finish and bought home.  Even when it is cold, it tastes yummy!My total bill $24.50 including GST and service charges.

Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant is one of the many dimsum places in Bugis-Dhoby-Ghaut-City Hall area, located in Bugis Junction itself. Besides their giant steamed buns and extensive dimsum offerings, they also offer set menus that are suitable for family gatherings.I found their minced pork noodles (affectionately known as zha jiang mian) was a little flat and could do better with more black bean chilli sauce, vinegar and hoisin sauce. The julienned cucumber were also at this strange room tempe

This has been around for the longest time at Bugis yet it took us only now to finally drop in with the variety of choices available around the area. Feeling like having Chinese food, we were left with only Crystal Jade or Nanxiang within Bugis Junction, this drew us in with their all-day dim sum!Famished by the time we reached, we certainly ended up over-ordering for two pax. Starting off well was an adventurous dish that I was glad we took the risk for.Sauteed Carrot Cake in Blended Rojak Sauce

Shanghai Pan fried pork buns which 2 for $3.30 and shanghai fried rice at $9.80, are both equally delicious at Nan xiang.  Restaurant environment was bright and simple, but still cooling and quite spacious.  The waitress here are well trained to be polite and good customer service.

A popular Shanghainese appetiser, the drunken chicken is cooked and marinated in Shaoxing wine and served chilled. This chicken is poached to perfection; the dark meat is tender & moist and the skin is smooth & silky. There is hardly any fat on the chicken meat. The wine is rich in flavour but not intoxicating.I like the way the restaurant has labelled their respective steamed buns with a wooden sign in the middle so if you order different flavours, you’d know what you’re eating.These buns come

Brought mummy for a gourmet Chinese meal at Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant because there was a Groupon deal.

As good as it looks, this was a disappointing dish where the sauce wasn’t well flavored. It just tasted as bland as the name of the dish – minced pork noodle. As waste of calories and tastebud on this dish. Swee Choon has a much better version of this dishPacked with meat and soup, this is a dish I would order again at Nanxiang. However, I still think Din Tai Fung has one of the best Xiao Long Bao in SingaporeThis spicy wanton isn’t too bad, but the spicy sauce lack flavour. I think the Swee Cho

So I'm back for their delicious xiao long baos again! Besides Din Tai Fung, NanXiang restaurant is one of my other favourite places to go for xiao long baos. Their XLBs are really soup and the delicate skin of the xlbs doesn't break off too when I hold each xlb up with the chopstick. The soup tasted more "clear" than the usual xlbs that I have eaten and I like it that way. I can just eat their XLBs for lunch without getting sick of it.Definitely worth a try!6pcs : $8.80

But this time, I plucked off the bun (pic below) to taste it out of curiosity even though one should not eat it because the buns are made thicker just to hold the soup. Indeed, the bun tasted bland and extremely tough, but certainly edible.Their Signature Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao ($13.80 for 6) might not
