Xinga Pot Food Review

If you love gathering with family and friends over hot pot, you should check out Xinga Pot at Uptown Damansara, Petaling Jaya. The restaurant can be seen easily along the main road. The interior decorations were mostly Hong Kong style theme and I love it a lot. This restaurant has a total of 3 floors. On the 1st floor, most of the tables are recommended for smaller groups around 4-5 pax with 1 larger table for 8-10 pax.



1st floor dining tables

My family and I had a very delicious and sumptuous lunch here. We tried the Signature Golden Fish Tripe Chicken soup which was boiled for 8 hours with fish maw, collagen and chicken parts. The taste of this soup was really delicious and tasty without any unhealthy seasoning. The chicken meat was really tender and I loved the fish maw.

We had very fresh Tiger prawns, clams, Xinga Handmade Ramen, Chives dumpling, King Mushroom, thinly sliced Sakura Pork Collar and Xinga Combo which includes handmade Mushroom Pork Paste, Ebikko Prawn Paste, Truffle Prawn Paste and Chilli Cutterfish Fish Paste. I love the Mushroom Pork Paste the most because of the superb combination of mushroom and tasty pork. 





Some seafood such as Clam, Giga Mud Crab, Geoduck, Mantis Shrimp, Lobster and Alaska King Crab need to pre-order 1 day ahead.



On the 2nd floor, there are 4 private rooms with 3 smaller rooms (fitting up to 6 pax) and a mid-size room (fitting up to 10 pax) all equipped with karaoke system. These rooms are named after famous Hong Kong artists Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai and Andy Lau. This is a great place for friends get together with some singing session while enjoying delicious hot pot food.




On the 3rd floor, there is an in-house bar which can fit up to 30 pax and a VIP room with karaoke system & private toilet which can fit up to 20 pax. This would be perfect for small functions and parties. Booking is required to avoid disappointment.



When we were there, we had Kaiice dessert on 3rd floor. The ice shaving ice-cream were delicious. There were 2 flavors, sorbet which was sour and sweet chocolate. To find out more about Kaiice, visit www.kaiice.com.




Together with Xinga Pot's Chef Brandon Lai

My family and I had an enjoyable hot pot lunch and we will definitely be back for more. This is a highly recommended restaurant for hot pot lovers.

If you would like to make a booking, please call 017-771 6522 or email admin@xingapot.com

Address: No. 58, Jalan SS 21/58, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

BLACKHEADS AND OILY SKIN TOP TEEN’S SKINCARE CONCERNS (New OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel is Gentle on the Skin Yet Effective in Combatting Blackheads)

Blackheads and oily skin are amongst the top skin concerns faced by teenagers. When teens hit puberty, their oil glands become overactive thereby resulting in the production of excessive sebum. The excess sebum and built-up of dead skin cells in the hair follicles then forms blackheads.

The need to use a facemask during this time of the pandemic can worsen one’s skin condition as it traps dirt and bacteria underneath it. Without proper care and treatment, blackheads will potentially lead to enlarged pores. 


OXY the skincare brand for teens has introduced the new Anti-Blackhead Gel that is specially formulated to treat blackheads. It is gentle on the skin yet effective in diminishing blackheads which is usually found on the nose. 



Effective ingredients found in its formulation include:


  1. Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid are both active ingredients that targets different layers of the skin. While Glycolic Acid exfoliates and removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, Salicylic Acid is able to penetrate deep into the skin and clear out impurities such as dirt and sebum from the pores to ensure skin around the nose area is clear and smooth.


Salicylic Acid used in the new OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel is derived from Wintergreen Leaf Extract, which is 100% natural Salicylic Acid that comes with skincare benefits such as purifying the skin, removing excess sebum and ultimately helping to get rid of blackheads.


  1. Witch Hazel Leaf Extract

With the possibility of inflammation caused by exfoliation, the new OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel is packed with Witch Hazel Leaf Extract to soothe the skin and bring down inflammation. Other than its soothing properties, the Witch Hazel Leaf Extract also helps to tighten the pores to reduce the appearance of pores on the problemed area.


  1. High Purify Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella Asiatica Extract promotes collagen reproduction in the skin, which is important, as collagen helps the skin cells to renew and repair themselves. This ingredient has also been found to calm inflammation, soothe redness, and repair damaged skin to achieve an overall even complexion.  


The OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel is to be applied after cleansing the skin. Pat dry, squeeze out an appropriate amount of the gel on the fingertip and apply a thin layer on the nose. Leave it to dry for about 3-5 minutes. Then, gently massage to exfoliate and remove blackheads. Lastly, wash thoroughly with water. 


This product is recommended to be used 2-3 times a week. Traditional blackheads removal methods such as using tools or our fingers to squeeze them out may risk permanent scarring on the skin and cause damage to the epidermis layers of the skin; therefore, gentle chemical exfoliation is the way to go. 


The new OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel retails at RM14.90 (18g) and is available at leading pharmacies and supermarkets nationwide. For more information about the new OXY Anti-Blackhead Gel, kindly log on to oxy.com.my
