Xin Wah Kee (Velocity @ Novena Square) - Casual Chinese Restaurant

Xin Wah Kee 1

My stomach has been a little sensitive for the past few days. I wanted to have something soupy for lunch and a colleague recommended fish soup from Xin Wah Kee.

Although Xin Wah Kee’s Chinese name 新華記 is the same as the popular Hong Kong cha chaang teng 新華記, they are not the same restaurant. Hong Kong 新華記’s English translation is New Wah Kee Restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised how delicious Toman Fish Soup [S$6.80] tuned out to be. The fish soup is not as robust as Yan Ji Seafood Soup, but nevertheless very rich and tasty.

The chicken in Herbal Chicken Soup [S$11.60] is very well-marinated and the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, but the soup is super thick. It is more like sauce than soup.

I thought Xin Wah Kee only sells soups, but it also has Braised Pork Rice [S$7.10]. Braised pork rice, which is otherwise known as lu rou fan, is a popular rice dish from Taiwan. The pork are tender and well-marinated with bits of cartilage which gives it a nice bite.

I also tried their Fried Prawn Paste Chicken [S$5.80 for 2 pieces]. I like the slight sourness which balances out the oiliness from the chicken.

Xin Wah Kee is a nice little shop that sells soups and a few other tasty Chinese bites.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food. PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder. Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue. Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.

Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms. Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream. I was told that Mango Cheesecake Bingsu is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City. I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting. I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang. I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart. Gr...
