Singapore's vibrant F&B scene just got hotter with the arrival of Taiwan's wildly popular Xiao Hun Mian (Spicy Noodles) at Raffles City today (June 3). The chain, famous for its two-hour queues in Taiwan, brings its signature soul-stirring flavors to our shores.

The intriguing name "Xiao Hun" literally means "selling one's soul" in Chinese - a playful nod to how addictively good these noodles are. With 18 successful outlets across Taiwan, this handmade noodle specialist promises an authentic taste experience.

Foodies can look forward to their signature Soul-Stirring Noodles featuring springy handmade noodles tossed in the chain's proprietary Master Chilli Sauce and Master Chilli Oil, complemented by their special Xiao Hun Noodle Sauce - all imported directly from Taiwan.

The menu kicks off with the Spicy Mixed Meat and Vegetables set paired with Xiao Hun Noodles ($18.80). For more premium options, try the Spicy Beef Soup with Beef Tendon and Sliced US Beef set ($24.80) or the version with spongy tofu and soy chips ($23.80).

Not a spice lover? The Mild Beef Soup variation offers gentler flavors while maintaining all that umami goodness ($20.80). Every bowl comes with beef bone broth simmered for six hours minimum plus braised tofu pouch and soft-boiled egg toppings.

The complete experience includes tempting sides like crispy Fried Bread Sticks ($4.50), fiery Golden Fish Balls($4),and refreshing Blanched Vegetables($4).

The Singapore outlet mirrors Taiwanese stores' aesthetic - think clean lines,muted earth tones,and minimalist decor that lets food take center stage.
