Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant

The 153-seat restaurant, with its various shades of red and brown, provides comfortable banquettes and regular seating that are visually appealing. Xin’s home-style roast duck with tea leaves is delightfully tender and aromatic, with the scent of chrysanthemum, jasmine and oolong tea permeating the crispy-skin poultry. The well-composed menu of modern Cantonese dishes includes the chef’s recommendation of stir-fried wagyu beef cubes with black pepper, paired with sweet longan, crisp asparagus, and red and yellow capsicum in a colourful presentation. For a bowl of nostalgic comfort food, the poached rice with seafood in a rich, delicate superior broth is also recommended, topped with sprinkles of golden crispy rice. Sweet mango coulis with hashima, served in a fluted melon and paired with a warm red bean pancake, leaves a lasting impression. The compact wine list is adequate and service staff do their best in this busy restaurant.
