XUAN XIN RESTAURANT (炫昇港式小厨) GURNEY PLAZA

Xuan Xin, another food restaurant in Gurney Plaza. The shopping mall here is getting more food choices to bring for the Penangtist. The restaurant is located at the 3rd Floor next to Sakae Sushi which is at the new wing. Xuan Xin Restaurant occupies a rather large space and the restaurant served Chinese dishes from dim sum to stir fried. They also serves a lot of variety of single serve meals ranging from various fried rice styles, various types of porridge and noodles.

We started off with the dim sum. We ordered the Steamed Dumpling “Siew Mai”（蟹王蒸烧卖）.The siew mai is served warm which is slightly a disappointment. The siew mai taste is not bad just slightly cold.
