Hadn’t really been going around Shenton Food Hall within Shenton House often and we had noticed a few new additions to the food court ever since the last time we had made our visit there — located in the spot which was previously tenanted to Thai cuisine stalls in the past now sits a stall named Little Bund. These folks can be found beside the stall serving up Sarawak Kolo Mee there named Noodle Legend House — as the name suggests, Little Bund is a stall serving up mainland Chinese cuisine; more specifically, Shanghainese fare. The menu at Little Bund is kept rather simple by offering a line-up of noodles and dumpling dishes for its patrons — there is also an option to opt for combo meals where patrons are able to pair any noodle dishes with Xiao Long Bao (3pcs), Pan-Fried Buns (2pcs) and Pot Stickers (2pcs) as well.

We visited Little Bund for the Pan-Fried Buns but we decided to opt for the Combo instead where we went with the Dan Dan Noodles to pair with the Pan-Fried Buns (2pcs) for a more substantial meal instead. Though Little Bund does not describe the elements that comes with their various menu items, we did notice from our order that the Dan Dan Noodles came with elements such as minced meat sauce, peanuts, Lao Gan Ma-esque chili, sesame paste and peanuts. Giving the noodles a bit of a toss before going into it, we did find that the noodles carry a bit of a chew whilst the minced meat sauce does come with a fair bit of minced meat that provides a good bite apart from the savoury flavours that it adds to the noodles. The addition of the Lao Gan Ma-esque chili as a hint of fragrance similar to that of Sichuan-style peppers without the numbing effect that further provides another dimension of flavours to the dish; all that whilst keeping the level of spiciness at a level that is manageable even for those whom are tolerable to lower levels of spiciness. The sesame paste does give the entire bowl a smoother consistency, though the flavours of this element seems to be overshadowed by the more savoury elements; all that whilst the peanuts gave a nutty to compliment everything else in the bowl.
