Crispy and addictive, this is our favourite item on the menu! We first tried this as a takeaway item and finally visited to dine in. Glad to say that it didn't disappoint! Would recommend trying this if you were to visit ๐

Their set meals are also very worth ($1 upgrade for regular sized desserts/drinks).
For each purchase of selected mains, you can also choose to get a drink or dessert for only $1. We had

Personally feel that the drinks fared better than the desserts, though I have to commend the affordable selection!
The Xiangโs Signature Dessert (S$4.20) was one Oriental dessert that I could never get sick of. Comprising a combo of grass jelly and soya beancurd, topped with assorted beans, sticky cake, yam balls, yam, sweet potato cubes, tapioca pearls and roasted peanuts, this dessert was a symphony of flavours, textures and love.
Personally, I found that the roasted peanuts gave a beautiful aroma to the dessert. But I must say, that because everything tasted like they were freshly prepared, that this place would provide me my preferred dessert over the other Taiwanese dessert kiosks around the island.

Lately, Xiang Dessert and Food, otherwise known as Xiang Hao Chi (้ฅๅฅฝๅ), had become my regular haunt to pick up some Taiwanese flavours. Apparently, other than their range of desserts that was always chosen as my afternoon pick-me-up, another item that had become my comfort food was their Taiwanese Crispy Chicken Chop with Minced Pork Noodles (S$7.80).
The noodles would usually be slightly springy and nicely seasoned with the minced meat and its gravy poured over. Though there were options to how the fried chicken chop could be flavoured, I would always go for their salt and pepper seasoning for that more authentic feel. Did I also mention that the pickled cabbage and the Ramen egg were also like icing on the cake, and for that price point I thought the overall portion was actually quite affordable?
Of course, the Upper Thomson belt had no lack of good food, but for some Taiwanese treats, this place deserved a shoutout.

Tasty bowl of boiled salty wheat noodles.
Combining the unforgettable texture of slow boiled pork intestines and crispy fried chicken.
Satisfying portion indeed.
