Salivating Spicy Chicken 囍宴金牌口水雞 ($6.50++/ petite)
It looked quite spicy with the layer of chilli oil on top. There was cold silky smooth potato noodles buried underneath the pile of chicken slices and century egg wedges. While it was spicy, it was refreshing cold at the same time.

 Deep-fried Shrimp Paste Fish Fillet with Pomelo Water Chestnut Salad 香茅蝦醬炸鱼柳配柚子沙拉 ($9++/ petite)
It looked different from the picture. An odd combination which worked refreshing well. It was a party in the mouth with savoury shrimp paste, juicy tart pomelo and sweet dressing.

 Fried Lo Shi Fan with Xi Yan XO Sauce 客家XO醬干炒老鼠粉 ($12.80++)
Simply looking with wok taste and crunchy feel. Thought that it would be spicy with XO sauce but turned out that it was not.

Xi Yan @ Shaw Center is a casual restaurant with happiness ambience. Some dishes they serve are simple but they transformed them with a unique twist. There are also dishes they serve are very creative and exotic but are very intriguingly delicious and beautiful. The restaurant excels so well in their taste and presentation. I will definitely be back!~

 Recently it has expanded to an outlet in Shaw Centre for casual dining. No reservation is allowed except for special events. Remember to leave your name at the counter for a table and check regularly. I have gotten my name striked off for no reason and have waited quite long for a table. Luckily we spot the problem when we go up to have a check.

 Tables are placed quite near to each other. Some may have problem getting out of the seat.

The meat is quite lean without any fatty part. We are both disappointed that there is not any fatty part.

I feel that the prawns are not crispy enough and lacking of the satay sauce taste.

 Deep Fried Shrimp Paste Fish Fillet with Pomelo and Water Chestnut Salad 虾酱炸鱼柳 ($12.80/ small)
Firstly it looks much better than what is showed on the menu. Although we cannot taste any shrimp paste on the fish, it is quite juicy and crunchy. The sauce adds a tangy touch to it. However cannot taste any water chestnut.

It has a creamy texture but I feel that it is a bit too sweet. The glutinous rice is too dry and hard. Maybe it would be better if it is topped with some coconut milk.

 Salted Egg Yolk Pumpkin Ice Cream with Pandan Glutinous Rice (1 scoop)南瓜咸蛋雪糕配班兰叶羺米（一球）($4.50)
The ice cream tastes like pumpkin puree, creamy and not too sweet. I am a bit disappointed as I have not tasted any salted egg yolk in it.

Total bill for 2 persons is $93.10. Overall the food is not bad. The place looks understaffed, as we have problem getting the attention of the staff. So do not need to look for the staff to refill water.
