Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant @ Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium - Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Culinary Indulgence

Usher in the Year of the Snake at Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium with a delightful selection of festive takeaways, available from 1 December 2024, and opulent set menus for dining in, starting 3 January 2025.

Sliced 2-Head Abalone Yu Sheng 4.5/5

The festive takeaways include the luxurious Sliced 2-Head Abalone Yu Sheng, which pairs tender, premium two-head abalone with a vibrant medley of shredded vegetables. Served with their signature zesty plum sauce, the yu sheng delivers a delectable balance of flavours and textures, offering a refreshing and auspicious start to the meal.

Radish Cake with Preserved Meat 3.5/5

The Radish Cake with Preserved Meat ($62) exuded a sense of homely comfort, offering a nostalgic and satisfying bite. It makes an ideal addition to any reunion meal enjoyed in the warmth of your home.

Roast Suckling Pig Stuffed with Glutinous Rice and Preserved Meat 3/5

The roast meat offerings include Roast Suckling Pig Stuffed with Glutinous Rice and Preserved Meat, which requires a one-day advance order. The skin was beautifully caramelised, and crispy, but the meat leaned slightly towards the tougher side. The glutinous rice with preserved meat was flavourful and had a hearty bite.

Treasure Duck Whole 5/5

The Treasure Duck Whole is another festive highlight. It features a glistening, well-stuffed duck complemented with premium ingredients like sea cucumber, tendons, mushrooms, and dried oysters. The duck itself is fork-tender and light on the palate, ideal for such a celebratory feast.

Sautéed Prawn, Sliced Conch, and Mushroom in X.O. Sauce 4/5

For those dining in, the banquet menu starts at $768++ for six and includes an array of sumptuous dishes. The Sautéed Prawn, Sliced Conch, and Mushroom in X.O. Sauce stood out with its combination of succulent prawns, tender conch, and mushrooms, enhanced by the crunch of sliced asparagus.

Double-Boiled Sea Whelk Chicken Soup 4/5

The Double-Boiled Sea Whelk Chicken Soup with Morel Mushrooms and Bird's Nest added a luxurious and nourishing touch to the meal, with the bird's nest enhancing its indulgent appeal.

Shabu Shabu Sumire An @ 100AM Mall - All You Can Eat Shabu Shabu

Located next door to Yakiniku Gyubei is Royal Shoji's second concept, Shabu Shabu Sumire An, which brings us the beloved Japanese hotpot experience. Shabu Shabu Sumire An also offers a highly competitive lunch deal, allowing guests to choose from options like Pork Belly, US Beef Chuck Roll, US Strip Loin, or Wagyu Beef Chuck Eye Roll. In addition to 1 serving of main protein, diners can enjoy unlimited servings of rice, noodles, vegetables, and desserts — all within a 60-minute time limit. This all-you-can-eat experience is a great option for those looking to indulge in a hearty lunch.

During our visit, we also tasted the Hokkaido Silky Pork Belly featured on their dinner menu. The pork had a remarkably clean taste that I thoroughly enjoyed. The chef thoughtfully paired it with Konbu Dashi to allow us to fully appreciate the high quality of the pork. While the pork was undeniably excellent, I found the Konbu Dashi too light for my preferences.

Not to worry though, guests can choose their preferred two soups from a selection of six options - Signature Black Sesame-based Spicy Soup, Kombu Dashi, Spicy Miso Dashi, Soy Milk Dashi, Chicken Broth Dashi, and Tomato Dashi.

The vegetable counter offers a wide selection of vegetables to cook in your hotpot, including my favourite- pumpkin!

There were also somen noodles paired with a hot dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. I recommend adding some yuzu kosho and spring onions into the sauce for a refreshing citrusy kick.

To end, there is also a dessert counter with a small selection of fresh-cut fruits and some ice creams.

Whenever you're in the mood for Japanese hotpot, Shabu Shabu Sumire An is a good option for those seeking comforting, quality Japanese dining experiences at accessible price point.
