@ Shanghai Ren Jia

After reading so many reviews on this restaurant, I finally had the chance to try it out. Located near Mayflower Primary School and at the void deck of a HDB block, this restaurant was not difficult to find. Upon stepping into the eatery, we saw roughly only seven tables. Thankfully it wasn't crowded that afternoon or we would have to wait.

The menu wasn't extensive as well, just keeping it to simple, good dishes.

Handmade noodle with braised pork ribs and minced chicken cubes
(The best noodle I had in a long time)

Xiao Long Bao
(Slightly smaller but very delicious)

Pan Fried Meat Bun
(A good texture of steamed and fried but could have more fillings)

Apart from the expected long waiting time since they prepare the food only when they are ordered, the huge portion of each dishes made it difficult for two people to try the other dishes. Perhaps they could have a taster platter as we really wanted to try their acclaimed popiah.

While there were many rave reviews, I felt that only their handmade noodles stood out. For the price of their dishes, I will prefer to dine at more established restaurants.
