Efficient staff and delicious food. Xi Yan opened just recently (as of now, there is no rating cause of lack of votes) and there is a 'Review us on Zomato' sticker by the front of the restaurant. The food is very traditional and executed perfectly. 

Today was a special day so I ordered the abalone.  The abalone was soft yet chewy, and texture-wise, it was really good. Abalone never has much taste- thank god for the inventor of abalone sauce. It is shiny and like a glaze- thick yet not cloying, and is similar to oyster sauce (but better!) The choy sum, soaked in sauce, gave the veggies a juicy kick. 

Then quickly after came the lobster over glutinous rice. The lobster was flavorful, but I really liked the lobster-infused glutinous rice. All the lobstery flavor goodness, juices, and fragrances seeped into the rice making the rice absolutely MAGICAL. All the oil is not the healthiest, admittedly, but this rice is heaven. Later there were delicious golden almond cookies- they were not too sweet but they were deliciously crumbly and shiny too. 

The problem was that the food came a little rushed, making it seem like a really hurried dinner. But amazing classic Chinese restaurant.
