Shi Xiang Ge

When the going gets tough, the tough get going - on Dumpling feast! 🥟 It is suitable for changing climate: 🌧 or 🌞. Each Dumpling is packed with pork & cabbage. Once bitten, the soup is oozing in a right proportion with the filling. The spicy sauce is quite mild for us but spicy enough to validate the dish. One bowl has 10 pcs of Dumpling and will definitely make you full!! 😄🍜

Opted for the shaved noodles instead of the usual lamian and I loved the texture and chewiness of it! Generous servings of noodles and minced meat 👍 However, I found the gravy a tad too salty for my liking.

The first time we try ‘Shan Xi cold noodle’ or ‘Liangpi’ was in Chinatown (more about this in another post). We are hooked since and search high and low for the same dish. When we heard that this ‘Shi Xiang Ge La Mian Shaved noodle” (a new eatery above Bishan Bus Interchange hailed by ex-Crystal Jade Chef) has the same dish, we simply have to try.🤩

The ordering and queue at lunch time on Friday was not so bad. It took us only 7 mins to be called by their e-ticket machine. The commuting then took us another 20 mins and since this is a cold dish, we just guess this doesn’t affect quality and taste of the dish. ‘Shan Xi Cold noodle’ is a very simple yet so satisfying dish with only 3 ingredients: noodle, wheat gluten(Mian Jin) and sliced cucumber (served with sauce made with salt, vinegar and chilli oil) . They just nail it!! with the sweet, fiery yet aromatic herbal sauce. 🔨 The white flat noodle is simply addictive and absorb the not overpowering sauce so well. We will skip the praising bits and let you try! 🤟😎

The beef shaved noodles are springy and the broth is very tasty. The dumplings are really good with generous amount of tasty meat fillings. Don’t order the Qi Shan Noodles, it’s too salty and oily.

Light beefy soup with springy hand pulled noodle. Slow braised beef shank cut into thin sliced required no jaw exercise. However their soup had too much MSG for comfort. .

I would recommend their dumpling inside. Packed with meat and the crisp green casted away any heaviness. For $5 each, I found it very value for money.

Amazing ; 100/100 would recommend - it was my first time trying this... won’t be my last!
