Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao 山东東記拉面小笼包

My girlfriend has been recommending me a coffeeshop stall in Jurong East that sells cheap and tasty Chinese steamed dumplings.

When I was in Jurong East a few days ago, I decided to check the stall out for myself.

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Making Dumplings

All of Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao’s dumplings are freshly-made in the stall. No matter what time you visit, you will see the workers making the dumplings by hand.

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Sahandong Dumplings

This is the Shangdong Dumplings 山东水饺 [S$5 for 12] that my girlfriend has been raving to me about. The dumpling skin is thin and packed full with fillings.

You can also get frozen dumplings at S$30 for 15 pieces, handmade upon order. 

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Dumpling/Wanton Noodle

If dumplings alone is not enough for you, you can also order Dumpling/Wanton Noodle 水饺面/云吞面 [S$4]. I find the noodles a little too soft for my liking, but I like the price.

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Shanghai Xiao Long Bao Inside

I decided to try their Shanghai Xiao Long Bao 上海小笼包 [S$4 for 6], but it turned out to be quite a disappointment. There isn’t much juice in the xiao long bao and the skin breaks easily. The filling is all pork, which makes me feel queasy after a few bites. It definitely cannot be compared with Din Tai Fung’s Steamed Pork Dumplings, but it is will do for a cheap snack.

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Bei Jing Sauce Noodle

Bei Jing Snack Noodle 老北京炸酱面 [S$4] hits all the right notes. The noodles are springy and there is ample sauce to coat all the noodles. My only complaint is the black bean sauce is a little too salty.

Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao - Scallion Cake

Scallion Cake 葱油饼 [S$3.50] is a popular snack in Shan Dong, China. It is a type of flat pie filled with scallion oil and chopped scallions. It is supposed to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao’s scallion cake is a little too floury and thick.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
