Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, Tiong Bahru Plaza

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, Tiong Bahru Plaza

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot (#02-113 Tiong Bahru Plaza, 302 Tiong Bahru Road) took over the spot vacated by O Banh Mi (một hai ba bốn năm). The food's generic Chinese with stir frys, mala xiang guo (麻辣香锅) and chicken pot (鸡公煲).

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, yang zhou fried rice 扬州炒饭

Their yang zhou fried rice was bad. Bland and used the cheapest of ingredients they could get away with. Wok Hey makes much better fried rice. And what are thos......could it be Impossible prawns?

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, noodle spicy vinegrette 红油燃面

Spicy vinaigrette noodles (红油燃面) was edible. Tasted mostly of Szechuan peppercorn with some tanginess from the preserved vegetables (酸菜). Would have been great if the noodles had a firmer texture. 

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, suan cai yu 酸菜鱼

Okay tasting 酸菜鱼. I thought it was overpriced. 

Xing Xing Mala & Chicken Pot, salted fish eggplant tofu 咸鱼茄子豆腐煲

Those are eggplant and tofu. There's salted fish according to the menu but I couldn't taste any. A little oily but not bad tasting.
