南翔饅頭店 (已結業)

Their food serving size is smaller as compared to Crystal Jade, thus a little pricey too.If you love drunken chicken, try theirs!If you love hot and sour soup base, try their hot and spicy lamian!If you wanna try dry lamian, their lion-head balls lamian with sesame oil is a must try!If you love to drink soup from bao and xiao long bao's soup is too little, try their giant one!…查看更多

This is a shanghainese restaurant. The must try dish is of course their Steamed bun (xiao long bao). It consists of meat and soup inside. There are 8 different fillings to choose from. They have Fresh pork filling, Crab meat & pork filling, Mushrooms, Vegetable & pork filling, Shrimp & pork filling, Crab roe & Pork Filling, Crab roe, Shark fin & Pork Filling flavours. The price range is from $6.00 to $12.80 for 6 pcs. You can even try the King size steamed bun. I love the soup in the steamed bun. It is very fresh and light. Before you eat the bun, you can create a small hole in the bun first, then drink the soup. After that, you can enjoy the steamed bun with the filling. The skin of the bun is quite thin too. I love their Golden fried rice too. It is topped with lots of floss as you can see from the photo itself. The rice is fried till fragrant. Their wasabi prawns is good. The prawns are very springy and the wasabi sauce is fantastic. Its not overpowering. I love their osmanthus flower sticky cake. It has the fragrance of the flowers and taste good when you eat it cold. Try out their golden pumpkin cake. Its good too! Overall, I like the food over there. Highly recommended for their steamed buns & dim sum.…查看更多

I went to nanxiang with my girlfriend, we were feeling like gluttons after we left cos we ordered simply a lot of food. we ordered the drunken chicken, jelly fish with spicy vinegar, crab meat and pork filling xiao long bao, salted vegetable duck soup and their shanghai fried rice with chicken chop. Starting off with the drunken chicken, it was so good, the meat was so tender, the gravy was very tasty and fragrant. The jelly fish with spicy vinegar tasted very unique, I was not really a fan of jellyfish but this was pretty good, it was kind of sourish and the jellyfish was crunchy and chewy. The xiao long bao was excellent, the filling and soup was kind of sweetish because of the crab meat. The salted vegetable soup went really well with the rice, it had a fusion of flavours from salty to sourish to sweetish. It was really good. The best of all with the shanghai fried rice with chicken chop. The fried rice was so fragrant, I love the eggy taste. It went so well with the chicken chop, the chicken chop was very crispy and the meat was very tender and juicy. A filling meal it was.…查看更多

I visited nanxiang with my best friend the other day. She was craving for xiao long bao and we happened to be at bugis so we hopped on down to the bugis branch. We each ordered a main course and shared a long of xiao long bao. I ordered their signature zha jiang mian. Their zha jiang mian was really good. The noodles were very chewy and it does not stick to the teeth. The meat sauce was really delicious, it was very tasty, not too salty. The meat they used were very fresh and the portion of the meat sauce was just right. The xiao long bao tasted really good. I simply love the soup instead. The skin was not too thick but it could withstand the pressure of the grip of my chopstick. It was a very hearty meal.…查看更多

I was walking around bugis junction with my husband. We could not decide what to eat for lunch. After much pondering, we settled for nanxiang. I like their xiao long bao there. The xiao ong bao is indeed a must order when you are there, they actually have a lot of kinds of xiao long bao but my favourite is the original kind. The skin is very thin, the soup inside is so tasty. The meat is very tender and tasty. I almost forgot to take a picture cos it was just too tempting. My hubby ordered the drunken chicken. It was really good, the meat was so tender and the gravy was really good. We tried the shanghai fried noodle, the noodles were very springy and it was fried till very tasty. Love the food here, very affordable and delicious. I shall brig my kids here next time t try other food.…查看更多

You have relatively simple fare from Shanghai but modified to suit Singaporean's palate.For example, you will notice that the xiao long bao skin is quite thin just like Ding Tai Feng, and also it's not as salty. I have been to Shanghai before and the baos there are thicker in skin texture and saltier.But you also get mains like Drunken Chicken, Jelly fish with vinegar, crab with egg flower, and the soup is really good. I have chicken soup and also the sweet and sour soup. Both did not disappoint.However, there was once I ordered the wrong item and I requested for a change. Initially they were quite reluctant to do so but they did eventually as the manager intervene. So I have the chance to try the Shanghainese vegetable rice, and spicy rice.…查看更多

Last December I went to Shanghai and tasted the Xiao Long Bao from the Nanxiang Steambun restaurant at the Chenghuang Miao. It was really delicious. When I was shopping around Plaza Singapura, I noticed that there was a restaurant with the same name as that in Shanghai. I was in a hurry and thus had not the opportunity to patronise then.A few days later, I checked up on the Openrice website and realised that there was another branch at Bugis and decided to try it with my hubby. The restaurant was packed at lunch time. We were lucky to have a seat. We ordered a few dishes to try.This was one of the recommended dish. A little sour due to the vinegar. Delicious.:)The xiaolong bao was not as good as those in Shanghai. Didn't have much soup inside.This Dou miao has nothing special in particular.This fried chicken was just an ordinary cutlet.I couldn't remember how much was the bill but it should be more than $50. We were given a $0.20 rebate card for our next visit.…查看更多

Happened to be at Bugis Junction with my gf and chanced upon this Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant. Actually it was the only restaurant that didn't have a queue at 730pm on a weekday evening. They are supposedly a very well known outfit in Shanghai, so expectations were rather high.The interior was rather cramp, evidently with the restaurant trying to squeeze as many tables as possible in the relatively small room, resulting in a less than comfortable boxy looking dining area. I could easily overhear the adjourning table's conversation, not that I wanted to though. I guess that gives you an idea how close the tables were.Have you ever tried pork rib noodles that were sweet I for one, have not. Thats why Nanxiang's rendition came as quite a surprise (or was it shock). The broth was sweet, not the MSG kind of sweet but literally sugar sweet. The pork ribs were sweet as well, which was rather weird, considering that I had expected the entire dish to be salty. The noodles were rather springy though and appeared to be the only thing that was "normal". Sorry but sweet broth and pork ribs just don't cut it for me.For $8.50, I had expected better. The Yang Zhou Fried Rice was a joke and I'm not kidding. Served in a rounded symmetrical form, the rice looked like it had been pre-prepared and scooped from a container using a bowl (I'm just guessing). The de facto Char Siew was replaced by luncheon meat which is a poor substitute in my humble opinion. The rice lacked taste and came across as rather bland. Probably the only thing that I liked about this dish was the homogeneity of colours.The Fried Prawns with Salted Egg came piping hot, with the gravy still bubbling and frothing. The relatively fresh prawns were of average size and overall tasted decent with the gravy buttery and a little coarse, probably due to the bits of egg yolk. However, this dish is best eaten hot as the gravy tends to harden as it cools and things get really gross from there.The baked mini puffs looked like your normal curry puff, but break it open to find pork, mushroom and bamboo. Supposedly of course. Truth is, I only found pathetic bits of mushroom in it with what seemed to be scrap morsels of minced meat. It was like eating the pastry more than anything else. Not that it tasted good by the way.Steamed Soup Bun with Crab Roe and Pork Filling - Purportedly Nanxiang's signature dish - the Xiao Long Bao (XLB). I honestly wasn't the least bit impressed. The skin was way too thick and I had to literally tear it apart before I could take a snapshot of the filling. And there is something about the QC of their XLB. Some had loads of fluids contained within, some had minimal. Talk about consistency.I have never tried Pan Fried Pumpkin Cake before and I don't think I ever want to try it again, at least not at Nanxiang. The cake was soaking in oil but tasted decent though, a little sweet and crispy on the outside.$59 for such mediocre quality food is plain absurd. The only redeeming factor was the reasonably good service but I don't think thats enough to make me go back.…查看更多

This is my first visit to Nanxiang restaurant, and very impressed with their interior deco using the bamboo steamers. Creative! The two of us ordered fair a bit of dishes. First of all, of course the famous Crab roe steamed bun ($12.30) 蟹黄小笼包. It is really nice, the skin of the bun is just right in terms of thickness, both the minced meat and the soup are well done too! We also tried the King size soup bun ($6.80) 蟹黄灌汤包. The soup is milder taste as compared to the xiao long bao, but very nice, with some crab meat and roe too. The Egg yolk prawn ($13.80) 黄金虾仁 is pretty ordinary. Perhaps the egg yolk sauce is not thick enough. Egg, milk, crabmeat ($11.30) 蛋白牛奶炒蟹肉 is absolutely gorgeous. The egg white and milk are smooth, with the generous amount of crabmeat. Thumbs up for this must try dish! Golden fried rice ($9.30) 黄金炒饭 is one of my favourite too. Served with pork floss, the whole flavour and texture are just beautifully done. …查看更多

Was stolling along the crowded Bugis street, and my friend and i just couldn't decide on what to have for our lunch ...as we were taking escalator up to second level of the bugis junction, we saw this chinese restaurant of Nanxiang.With curiousity of their design, we took a look at their menu and find that the pricing is quite affortable. Furthermore, we couldn't stand the grumbling sound from our stomach so 4 of us just walk into the restautant. THanks goodness, it was around 4 to 5pm there is no crowd or queue :)As we flipped through the menu thoroughly, our conclusion is that rice is more worth it to order hence my friend and i ordered the golden fried rice - the plate that has the floss meats on top . and subsequently , another of my friend ordered the chicken cultet fried rice and another one ordered the fried noodles..our conclusion is that only the GOLDEN FRIED RICE is recommended, while the noodles is in a very small portion and quite oily too...whereas, for the chicken cutlet fried rice, only the chicken cutlet is nice. the rice don't worth $8 ...since is quite normal in taste.…查看更多

SERVICEMy boyfriend and myself went Nanxiang Steamed Bun at Bugis Junction for our usual dinner. We ordered Poach Chicken Drum, Asst Vege Slice, King Size Soup Bun and etc...The food were good but the service we received was more than we desire.The Poach Chicken Drum was not cut properly and my bf asked for a table knife, he's a Jap and the English accent is not S'porean style but surely the China waitress should be able to understand him.Instead of being helpful, she showed her impatient face and took our dish back to the kitchen to cut the chicken drum in a unprofessional manner.I don't know what is your exact closing time but at 9.15pm, the staff starts to clear away our chilli and sauces. I can clearly heard my neighbour complaining as well. The staff also started to sweep the floor while tables of customer are still dinning away. This type of service needs improvement especially they are located in Bugis Junction where the number of tourist is high. FOODTheir Spring roll carb roe is commentable, cripsy and full of roe.Vale for $$. Wasabi Prawn must try too, big juicy prawn with a mild wasabi taste to wet your appeitie.…查看更多

Happy National Day, China!So how apt for me to do a post about one of China's greatest inventions. The dumpling. Although Nanxiang seems to have done the literal translation of 包 which is bun. I guess they do buns too. I try and avoid Chinese food when I visit Singapore since I always feel that I can get much better in Hong Kong, where I live, and for greater value too. I also try to avoid Bugis Junction since the parking is horrendous. So on this very odd occasion when the 2 no-nos met, Mom and I found ourselves at Nanxiang. It's a fairly comfortable place to eat at - bright (read stark white and made even brighter with natural lighting in the day). First time - so we limit our order to "chef favorites".To start, we got the Homemade Tofu. It was surprisingly very firm - almost bouncy - from the abundance of meat and seafood infused into the tofu. So it was really a slab of meat/seafood roll infused with tofu. Served with a sweet chili dip, it was pretty tasty - most deep-fried things are. Personally, I would have preferred the presence of more tofu and a softer texture though.The Bean Sauce Minced Pork Noodle (炸酱面) was mediocre if you have had the same in Beijing. This is a less oily version but while the mince was salty enough to give the noodles a little bit of lift, it was a pretty flat taste. Hardly a hint of anything else to allow the eater to think about what else went in to make the sauce. The noodles were borderline firm enough, and the julienned cucumbers were a tad soggy even if chilled.The stir-fried string beans (干煸四季豆）were pretty addictive though. Well fried to still retain a good juicy crunch, even if this ain't the most healthy way to eat vegetables, it sure is tasty. There was just enough minced pork to give the beans a salty and smoky flavor, they did not overpower. Would be nice with steamed rice but not too salty to have on its own. Our finale was the quintessential reason for this place's existence. The Crab Roe and Pork Filling Steamed Bun (蟹黄小笼) is 2 prices up on the traditional pork only but what the heck, the other being the crab meat and pork filling. Note the little wooden sign in the bamboo basket which says crab roe in Chinese - so there is no confusion in delivery. The skin was thin enough for the most part, but I had to spit out the part where they pinch it at the top of the bun to make the ripples down the sides of the bun. It was far too thick and had been dried out for some reason so it tasted crusty. The filling had a little more pork bite than the traditional which I tend to like, since it's not so fatty, but the roe was probably not the best kind as it did little to add any hint of the sea at all. Overall verdict: if you happen to be stuck in the area, it's ok to grab a quick one here. There are definitely noticeable differences in standards from its home in Shanghai, and I think you can probably get better ones, even in Singapore. Besides, the price point at Nanxiang isn't low enough for that to even be a consideration. For the original post with photos, visit edeats.blogspot.com…查看更多

They have 2 main high tea sets, which you can further add on items too.I opted for the most basic one to taste their food. They don't look very appealing but taste was average. It is actually quite value for money as you get really full at the end of the set. If you are a small eater, I would suggest 3 person to share 2 sets. You can always add on if you feel that is not enough.…查看更多
