Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Xing Hua cuisine is one of my favourite cuisines and just recently I came across some social media posts about such cuisine, thus it leads to my cravings. One of us suggested heading to Yishun Heng Hua Restaurant for a try as she find that the food is pretty decent there.

We order a set meal for two at $32 which includes:

1） Herbs-Food Prawns in Bamboo Shoot 药膳竹筒虾
2）Deep Fried Slices of "Tenggui Fish" 炸马鲛鱼
3）Braised Bean Curd with 豆皮芥兰
4) Lor Mee / Mee Sua / Bee Hoon
5) Free Dessert 赠送甜品

as well as some other dishes to share among us. Xing Hua Restaurant is tucked at the far end corner of the HDB block.

Those who enjoy herbal soup may enjoy this dish. The number of prawns given was generous and the size of the prawn was relatively big. The natural-tasting soup in the Bamboo Shoot has a good subtle seafood taste in its light herbal taste.

I'm glad that they have this in their set menu. The fish is deep fruit to golden perfection and you can dip them in the homemade sauce with garlic.

A sweet gravy drenched on the pieces of braised bean curd and stirred fried with Kai Lan, slices of carrot and button mushrooms.

The White Lor Mee is also one of Xing Hua's Cuisine Staple Food to order. A version of Chinese La Mian soaked in a flavoursome broth and not as starchy as our traditional braised Lor Mee style. It was a comforting bowl of food especially when it was a wet day. The Lor Mee had included some crispy Pork Belly and vegetables in it.

The set meal includes a free dessert and it was white fungus with red date. It was refreshing and not so sweet. What a good ending to our meal.

Ice Cream texture was creamy and smooth. The level of sweetness works well for me.

Double Scoops of Ice Cream will cost $6.50 with Premium ones at an additional dollar. The Sea Salt Matcha caught my eye as I thought such a combination of Green Tea with hints of sea salt is rather special. The natural bitterness of Matcha added with salt was not too bad as a whole with sweetness other than the ice cream.

While the Creme Brûlée is also a premium selection among all the flavours. This French Classic dessert with caramelised sugar and biscuits is likewise addictive.

The classic Strawberry Milk is made of Japanese Milk and was light in taste which suits my style while the Hazelnut Crunch has a pleasant nut fragrant with Nutella swirls with caramelised biscuits in it.

Serving wasn't very big, both were quite mild. Hummus was not too acidic.

On a side note glad to be back after 5+ years?

Thanks @burpple for the invite and Mavi restaurant for hosting!

All 1+ per skewer for these 4 types, these few also have minimum order of 5 skewers each

Special beef had pickled chili, unfortunately it's not marinated w the chili so it's abit bland on its own, yet the chili is very spicy so it's not a good idea to eat them tgt as well

That and the normal beef were both decent, a little bit chewy but passable

Mutton was decent too, but some parts can be quite fatty

All of them werent too crispy except the pork, which was fantastically executed. Very umami, very juicy and very crispy, it's almost perfection

The pork is a must try, the rest aren't bad

Portion is pretty big, good for 3-4 to share. This is by far the most homely version I've had, it's very well executed and not heavy on seasoning.

Highly recommended if you miss a home cooked version

I look forward to Micro’s seasonal toasts, which usually feature ricotta with a seasonal fruit. This time it’s rock melon, one of my most disliked fruits, but I trusted Micro to deliver, and deliver they did. The usual crusty tangy sourdough and thick pillows of ricotta are topped with rock melon, candied pumpkin seeds, mint, and some sort of orange jam that go beautifully well together. There’s no escaping the taste of the rock melon, but it’s not so bad when combined with all the other flavours.

Order the mixed bowl of fried fish and sliced fish!

v chill eatery w gr8 service and good food! ordered the chorizo mac and cheese + original ribs. I was quite shook because they were really generous w the chorizo. ribs were also p good w v a very moreish glaze, tho wish the salad we ordered as a side had more variety to better complement the meat.
