One of my fav casual restos, with unusual dishes rarely found in Singapore; most are not good-looking (if not downright ugly) but so yummy. The classics (eg. salivating chicken, rice in fish broth, pregnant woman fried rice, deep fried pork belly strips, cold jellyfish, etc) are delish. Service is not very proactive, but you come here for the food lah! Fortunately, the foot odour from the reflexology place across the hallway doesn’t interfere with the aromatic smell of the yummy dishes. The food at Xi Yan is as good as the food in Xi’an.
