First time to dine-in when they were newly started to operate at this outlet. For they had taken over a vegetarian eatery, which I had been eating for afew times.
This eatery is from Hong Kong, & their portion of noodles indeed very big. Too much for me to consume & finish it 😅

The renowned Mixian restaurant from Hong Kong has opened an outlet at Chinatown Point shopping mall. While it brings a taste of its famous offerings, there are noticeable differences in quality compared to the original Hong Kong location.
Firstly, the texture of the noodles is tougher and rougher, lacking the smooth and tender consistency that fans in Hong Kong are accustomed to. Additionally, the spiciness of the soup base is inconsistent and generally milder than what one would expect from the normal spice levels in Hong Kong.
Another concern is the suspected use of excessive MSG, which leaves me feel very thirsty after their meal.
Overall, while it's exciting to have a branch of this famous restaurant in Chinatown Point, the management at Tamjai needs to improve their quality control to ensure that the dining experience matches the high standards set by their Hong Kong outlets.

Sgd32.8 nett for combo lunch for 2 mixian with 2 toppings each, 2 snacks, 2 drinks. Quite good value especially if you order the premium toppings, but --
Very small portion of toppings provided. At most 20g fish, 20g beef. Not much chives provided.
Teh is not sweet enough. No condensed milk used, only evaporated milk and sugar. Not fragrant.
Side dishes are very salty - French beans with minced pork, we couldn't even finish the salty minced pork. Chicken wings very flavoursome but too salty after the first wing.
Noodles portion very huge. No complimentary water served. Service was decent. Environment was alright, great for catch up with colleagues and friends. Don't think I'll be back given how salty the side dishes are, and how paltry the servings of meat toppings are.

Ordered the set for lunch. 20SGD for a mixian with very large portion, a iced milk tea and side dish.
The sliced pork with garlic is good. It used smashed garlic to bring down the spiciness and the seasoning is at the point. The only drawback is that it uses cheap ingredients, suspected to be frozen pork and later proved to be the case.
The portion of the mixian is extremely large and I cannot even finish half. However, it is really mediocre. The soup base seems to be instant and not thick as the real chicken bone soup. Same as the side fish, all the ingredients in the mixian is not fresh. Meat balls are made by machine and all meats are frozen and with its texture ruined. The noodle is bouncy and chewy.
The iced milk tea is good. The pickle and the sauce is my favourite of all: at the point and really elevate the taste.
All in all, the food here is normal but I would say this is a good choice if looking for some budget meal and like heavy taste. Ordering mala or other heavy taste soup base will definitely make the meal more enjoyable.

Though it's a franchise, it is the first time that I've actually tried. Initially I thought that it was going to be another normal tasting noodle soup, but to my surprise the soup is so tasty that it gives a warm fuzzy feel of home cooked taste. Definitely didn't expect the size of the portion when we ordered because we just wanted everything in a bowl that we can try, it was definitely enough to feed two person. The other choice was to handpick the ingredients that you want and they will cook to your customization. The side dishes were great as well. Basically I will qualify this as comfort food, even more so on a rainy day.
