Xian Yinxiang (“Made in Xian”) in Novena

Chuanr

A small Shaanxi restaurant has opened up on the former grounds of Fried Rice SG at Royal Square @ Novena (103 Irrawaddy Road #01-08). It was pretty good, featuring everything from biang biang noodles to roujiamo to oil youpomian, complete with a brusque service reminiscent of Niuhonghong.

The liangpi was decent, and the chili oil was on point. But what really stood out was the chuanr above, which were tough but super fatty and musty (in a good way), not unlike what one can get in China. I'd like to come back to try the other dishes, but one must avoid the weekday lunch hour, as it was packed today.
