Hand In Hand Beijing Restaurant 手拉手京华小馆

On a Saturday dinner time (7pm), 80 per cent of the diners were Japanese! A testament to the quality of the jiaozi/gyoza & rest of food, which were delicious!

Lots of creative plant-based dishes here. Flavourful, textured. We can taste the effort that went in. Even basic stir-fried cabbage was crunchy & aromatic!

The xiao long baos (soup dumplings ) are so big and juicy, better than Din Tai Fung. Also pig trotter galantine is yummy.

Tried many dishes, most pass especially the XLB. Generally the taste here is not too salty which is great. Only dish that I wouldn't recommend is the 口水鸡。

Xiao long bao is really good here. The skin is thin enough and doesn't tear when you hold it up with a pair of chopsticks. 蒜泥白肉 & cold tofu with century egg is very good too.

Sweet-sour crispy eggplant ($13.80). Nice to snack on as a starter

Sliced pork in garlic sauce impressed our table. Simple serving, yet complex in flavours

When Swee Choon is too crowded , try this. Their veg , beancurd and XLB are surprisingly good!

Family enjoyed their unique variety of vegetable options

Their griddled cabbage is simple, crunchy yet tasty!

Sesame lotus root dish is another easy-to-snack appetiser

Very good as always. Never take photos, food come we STEAM it into our throats and tummy!

Xiao long bao @ $4.80/6.80 for 5/8 pieces resp. Fish maw soup and 卡酱面. Not bad overall but very out of the way. Located next to Beancurd city though.

Sheng Jian Bae here is not very authentic . Stick to the XiaoLongBao and Gyozas .

XLBs are freshly-made on the spot

Parking . Nearest lots are along Veerasamy Road , and @ Blk 638 multi-storey carpark behind the restaurant

Braised duck wings were well stewed . $6 for this serving

Underrated gem: restaurant-grade food that is served fast and piping hot. Tasty to boot.

Chinese tea is $2.50 per person, water (hot/cold) is 50-cents. Refillable

Xiao Lung Bao

Affordable Shanghainese cuisine. The xiao long baos are good but the rest are passable.

据说老板最早是青岛国宾馆的凉菜主厨，后来下海自己当老板~若干年前去过他们在另一条路的分店，当时对食物并未留下什么深刻印象~这家是总店，经营北方菜，强烈推荐肉末烧饼，烧饼非常酥松，口感极好，而且没有多余的香味，香味全部留给了里头的炒肉末~肉末炒得很香很开胃，略带一点辣味，多一点汤汁会湿嗒嗒影响烧饼口感，少一点汤汁会影响吃口干燥，这里的肉末处理的恰到好处~推荐：排骨拉面，蒜泥白肉，肉末烧饼~ Read more

就2桌客人而已, 等了半个小时,菜还没有煮。服务差到要命。waitress脸黑到像炭一样。

ひさびさに来た。ウマ〜(￣▽￣)

Must try their 小笼包... Like the 炸酱面，葱油饼 & 豆沙锅饼 too!! =))
