The name of this casual Chinese restaurant speaks for itself at what it specializes in. It’s none other than its steamed buns or also known as ‘xiao long bao’. Headed by executive chef, Chef Yee Chong Wah with over 30 years of experience in Chinese cuisine. Not only it serves steamed buns but it has a variety of other Chinese cuisines from the province of Shanghai.I visited Nanxiang for dinner and although the restaurant was crowded, the staff put on a megawatt smile at the door and seated me
I visited Nanxiang for dinner and although the restaurant was crowded, the staff put on a megawatt smile at the door and seated me at a corner of the restaurant, perfect for a conducive meal with my friend. We didn't what to order and the waitress recommended us a few dishes that will suit our preference too!
How can you say that you’ve dined at Nanxiang Steamed Buns without tasting their signature dish, the Fresh Pork Filling Steamed Bun (6pcs for $6)? This is the authentic Nanxiang xiaolongbao have gained popularity throughout Shanghai over the last century. Since it’s now here in Singapore, what are you waiting for? Get ready to sink you teeth into piping hot steamed buns that you will crave for more after each bite!
Doesn’t this look like the jelly fish often seen in Chinese cold dishes? Being one of the new item on the menu, the Jelly Fish with Spicy Vinegar ($6.80) uses the head of the jelly fish unlike other Chinese restaurants which uses the tentacles. By using this premium part of the jelly fish, it will give an additional crunch to this appetizing dish.
This dish, the Vermicelli with Crab Roe ($12.80) is a reinvention of a home-style dish with a Shanghainese touch to it by adding in their favourite ingredient, the Crab Roe, to give it a sweet and mouth-watering taste. I am so addicted to it that I can finish up the entire dish by myself. Perfect for both young and old, this is so good that you can have it alone as a main course.If you're looking for a casual Chinese restaurant to dine, it need not to be a 8 or 9 course dinner that costs a bomb. Head over to Nan Xiang for homely fare that will touch your heart and stomach too. The young, modern and casual ambiance and decor makes it very informal and is a perfect place for families, friends and business partners to dine over good value delicious Chinese dishes that is both visually appealing and tasty.
