Nainai Flavor 椿花奶奶

the chicken soup was the star of the show, it was really flavourful and unique. we tried some other handmade dishes as well like the egg pancake and the soup dumplings, and we loved the boiled pear with white fungus for dessert as well. all in all delicious food you wont find anywhere else in sg!

we visited on a weekday night and the placed was packed.

we tried grandma’s secret dishes (medium) and we found the soup unique and not greasy, and its aroma was rich and comforting.

the shredded pork mixed noodles was nice and filling, the youbu style egg cake was packed with meat and also not too salty, and it was a great appetiser.

the steamed dumplings felt freshly made, and the portion of the drinks they gave is really generous.

this experience felt like we were having authentic jiangnan cuisine, and we would be back again for the soup!

The portions were surprisingly generous! honestly enough for 2 pax to share comfortably.

Taste wise, I feel that their signature soup was the most tasty, with lots of filling as well. The boiled pear and white fungus was quite comforting when served warm, and was surprisingly filled to the brim with ingredients. But what really surprised me was the lime roselle tea. It was not only refreshing, but I also appreciate the fact that they used actual roselle and lime instead of just flavouring, which made the drink so much better!

I saw other table ordered some veggie dishes and soup, and I think I will order that for my next visit when I'm nearby as it looks really yummy!

Finally checked out Nai Nai Flavor (椿花奶奶) and wow, the 奶奶传承神仙鸡 (Grandma's Secret Dishes) really lived up to its name. The chicken was so tender it practically fell apart, and that soup — deep, rich umami that just hits you wave after wave. The kind of broth that makes you slow down and savour every spoonful. Presentation was a nice touch too; you eat with your eyes first, right?

The 游埠鸡子粿 (Youbu Style Egg Cake) was a pleasant surprise — crispy on the outside with this gorgeous blend of meat and spring onion inside. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by a burst of savoury goodness. We also got the 扬州炒饭 which honestly was the perfect way to round things off — lighter on the salt, so after all that umami it felt like a nice palate reset that still filled you up just right.

Washed everything down with the 芭乐水蜜桃 (Guava & Peach) — refreshing, not cloyingly sweet, exactly what you want after a hearty meal. Solid experience all around, definitely one I'd come back for. 🍲

Nai Nai Flavor brings popular Hangzhou comfort food to the East. The spread I had was visually stunning and incredibly satisfying. The savoury items included Old Shaoxing Steamed Soup Dumplings 老绍兴蒸汤包 and a brilliantly crispy, deep-fried Youbu Style Egg Cake 游埠鸡子粿. Also enjoyed some crisp golden Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake 红糖滋粑 accompanied by refreshing Guava & Peach Drink 芭乐水蜜桃. The star of the meal for me was the soul-warming Grandma’s Secret Dishes 奶奶传承神仙鸡. Wrapped up the meal with a beautifully presented glass teapot of sweet Traditional Style Double Boiled Pear with White Fungus 古法银耳吊梨汤, which was a light and soothing finish. A perfect spot for a comforting meal!

Can’t believe I am raving about soup! But I am! The soup is delicious, service and ambience is also great. Came around 3-5PM on a weekday, and it is quiet and good for conversations.
