Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant

This was twinny's treat @ newly renovated Nanxiang Steamed Bun. My previous experience here was not very good and I had found the food not the least to my liking. I was rather hesitant to give it a second go if not for Twinny's insistence. The new deco though made the whole place look more sleek and modern, gave me a sense of poor space management arrangement. Every seats and space were heavily crammed and squeezed, giving it a rather unpleasant seating capacity due to its bulky "carriages". To Moi, it serves no purpose since the place was small and it will be impossible to enjoy the privacy and quietness the "carriages" were meant to serve.

That apart, Moi was rather impressed with the much improved service and food. The food was no where of the old Nanxiang when it was something you were ate once and never return. The food had definitely improved compared to previous. Moi's favourites were the crab roe soup in prawn ball, the homemade beancurd and the golden pumpkin cakes. It was a rather refreshing and unexpected combination and the taste went rather well with myself. Mummy Teddy Bear was all up and enthusiastic about the trying out the special sauce smoked fish. First, Moi was never a fan of any fishes and the idea of serving the smoked fish in chilled condition brought out the "fishy" smell which I hated. The cinnamon flower sticky cake was Mummy's favourite, Moi had not much liking to it.

Nevertheless, must thank sweet twinny for the treat. It was with rare occasion when family comes together.
