Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant (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!

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 bu

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 j

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

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

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

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 wa

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 over

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, w

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

We ordered Steamed Soup Bun with Crab Roe and Pork Filling - Purportedly Nanxiang's signature dish - the Xiao Long Bao. 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. 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

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 a

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, Mo

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.
