Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium presents 4 new signature dishes crafted by their Head Chef Chan Kung Lai. Hoping to bring a taste of his hometown, Hong Kong, to Singapore, he has infused his speciality in seafood in his new launch.
Combination Platter 4/5
We started with an appetiser that showcases some of Xin Cuisine's signature bestsellers - Home-style Roast Duck with Tea Leaves, Deep Fried Prawn coated with Yuzu Sauce and Stir-fried Assorted Mushroom with White Truffle Oil. My favourite would be the prawn which held a very light crispy batter that gave it a slight crunch, brightened with a fruity and citrusy yuzu sauce.
Stir-fried Lobster with Egg White and Crab Roe 4/5
Stir-fried Lobster with Egg White and Crab Roe holds a piece of succulent lobster atop a cloud of egg white. The crab roe acts as the perfect seasoning for the subtlety of their flavours.
Poached Sea Perch with Chinese Rice Wine 4.5/5
The Poached Sea Perch with Chinese Rice Wine displayed an even richer texture and flavour to a seared or baked version, taking another approach to their usual sea perch dish. The Chinese Rice Wine broth was a key to this dish, too - savoury sweet, and the smell of it was so comforting that it brought this dish to another level.
Seafood Poached Rice in Superior Broth served with Crispy Rice 3/5
A mainstay of their menu is this Seafood Poached Rice in Superior Broth served with Crispy Rice. While the flavour of the Seafood Poached Rice and its texture were great, I feel a much richer broth would have made this dish even more enjoyable.
Deep-fried Sesame Ball with Red Bean and Chocolate Liqueur Filling 3/5
Our dessert was a modern version of a deep-fried sesame ball - Deep-fried Sesame Ball with Red Bean and Chocolate Liqueur Filling. Akin to having a liqueur filled chocolate, a bite into it and outflow the hot chocolate liqueur lava. I like the mochi-like dough that was very chewy but wasn't heavy and dense at all. The alcohol element was a pleasant surprise, but I wish for more red bean filling with the mochi dough.
Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant also serves a la carte dim sum. It offers delivery for orders made through its eShop, Foodpanda, GrabFood and Deliveroo. Follow its Facebook page or newly launched Instagram account @xincuisine for new launches and promotions.
