Shi Xiang Ge

Hot pipping mala soup (not too spicy but gives the numbness after taste) served with Intestine and handmade noodle (quite big portion of the noodle).
The highlight is Intestine, its big, juicy and clean

The soup wasn't the mala spice that you would expect, more like rlly flavourful soup w hot oil that's numbing as well. Both the soup and noodles were good, but the pork intestines were the showstopper. Probably the best I've had, its so ridiculously soft and bursting w umami from the braising liquid. Utterly sinful and even though it's true there's abit of porkiness, it takes a master to convert that into umami. So this is definitely a good kind of stench, and a mild one at that. MUST TRY!!!

The generous serving of minced meat and sauce accompanied the la mian very well, especially as it could be a bit too salty if eaten on its own/ with less carbs. It is a hearty bowl of noodles that can beat most 炸酱面s around!

The meat tastes to me like pulled pig trotters, if that is a thing. 😆 It is tender and the stew is delicious! However, the bun was very crisp and had to be eaten immediately otherwise it would be too hard and doughy.

This simple stew of tomato and egg was sooo satisfying - it is that kind of soul-warming comfort food that makes everything all right in that instance. It was the perfect level of saltiness, and, mixed with the thin la mian noodles, made for a fantastic meal.

Nestled in the hawker on top of bishan bus interchange L2 is this Chinese store that serves hand pulled noodle. The noodles were very well done and seasoned with a generous serving of tofu and minced pork, topped with shredded cucumber and placed in a braised sauce. It was a good portion of homely food.
