Tucked away in Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant serves sumptuous Cantonese fare with contemporary flair.

Begin with a beautifully lacquered Xin’s signature home-style roasted duck kissed with the smoky aromas of tea and a plate of succulent wok-fried prawns cloaked in a velvety salted egg yolk sauce. The double-boiled fish bone broth simmered with fish maw and bamboo pith is a nourishing treat, as is the comforting bird’s nest in chicken broth.

There is a fine selection of seafood specialities, including baked sea perch glazed with Japanese miso sauce and poached clams in a rich, briny broth. Top off a memorable dining experience with the poached rice in superior broth, served with scallops and a flurry of crisp puffed rice. Vegetarian options abound, such as poached spinach with salted eggs and braised beancurd with assorted mushrooms.

Look forward to unique desserts like pan-fried red bean pancake with a generous sweet bean paste filling and chilled mango coulis and hashima served in a carved mini pumpkin. More traditional options are available too, such as the refreshing herbal jelly with honey and a rich mango pudding. Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant also offers speciality teas like the prized huang jin gui (golden turtle) oolong from Fujian and a selection of wines that come with recommendations for dish pairings.
