It’s worth noting that the stall doesn’t utilize charcoal, which is known for imparting a unique smokiness to steamboat soups. However, the overall taste and quality of the soup is still impressive enough to warrant a return visit.
Here are the items that we ate that day. Other than the siew mai and spring roll, I cannot remember exactly what the other items were. The one thing I can remember is that the best dim sum item was the fried spring roll. That was comparable to those served at Orchard Road Chinese restaurants.
The braising sauce was quite nice, thick and meaty savoury with a hint of sweetness. The ingredients were quite generous too. However, some of the ingredients seemed a bit soft and airy as opposed to firm and crispy in some cases as I expected.
I will definitely drop by again whenever I got cravings for Paper Wrapped Chicken.
Besides these, Xie Jia Chinese Prata also serves up Lontong ($3.50) and Curry Chicken Noodles ($4.50). They’re open from as early as 5.30am daily but closes at 12.30pm, so be sure to get there early!
An average black carrot cake – really sweet, slightly firm, just a little wok hei and char, but little to no egg fragrance.
The waffle in the spicy chicken waffl burger was slightly doughy and crispy and sweet, and went well with the slightly crispy spicy savoury chicken patty, mayo, tomato and lettuce. All these went down nicely with the cheese chips.
No doubt about them being reputable and popular in the Market. If Zai Shun is closed, Rong Cheng Delight can be a good alternative if you want to have some "Fishy Eats".
This is definitely one of the more underrated stalls in Yuhua Village Market and Food Centre that deserves more attention, so do pop by for breakfast or lunch when you’re in the neighbourhood!
