Xing Hua Restaurant

On the last day of the Chinese New year, a friend invite me out for dinner. He booked a set menu for four at the Chinese Restaurant – Xing Hua. The restaurant is quite new. None of us had dined with them before, so we do not know what to expect. So, we have no expectations. But the menu looked really good, and we thought we will give it a try. If the food and service are good, it would be another alternative place to go when dining out. And if it is not good, we will not go back.

The set dinner had seven dishes, including dessert.

Since it was the last year of Chinese New Year, there was ‘Yu Sheng’, or raw fish which is basically a simple dish of salad with a few slices of fish. In this case it was abalone slices – so few and so thin we had to search for them. Have a look at my post from two years ago, regarding the story of the ‘Yu Sheng’ and ‘Prosperity Toss’, or ‘Lo Hei’ 👉 HERE Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng. After we had ‘Lo Hei’, we had dinner proper.
Four Treasures double boiled red mushroom with chicken soup. I am not sure what the four treasures were, only that it has something to do with Chinese herbs.
Red grouper steamed with 'heng hwa' bee hoon. Bee hoon is fine vermicelli.
Braised pork knuckle with Chinese cabbage.
King prawns in homemade special sauce.
Roasted pork, and Chinese sausage braised with fragrance rice.
Lastly, after the meal, the dessert – sea coconut and longan pudding.
We were pleasantly surprised by the scrumptious meal. The quality was there. The soup was tasty. The fish was tender and fresh. The prawns were fresh too. The pork knuckle was excellent. They could have been more creative with the dessert though. Sea coconut and longan pudding was a bit plain compared to the other fine dishes.
