It does seem like the massive expansion of Yuen Kee Dumplings around the island has pretty much set off a flurry of new establishments serving up fresh handmade dumplings and wantons all over the island. Whilst Jia He Xing Dumpling had entered the Singaporean market relatively early with their very first outlet at Marina Square being in existence before Yuen Kee Dumpling’s debut in Singapore. Jia He Xing Dumpling is a brand that hails from Shanghai, China — these folks had recently opened their second outlet in Singapore in The Poiz Centre that is in the Potong Pasir neighbourhood. Occupying a smaller shop unit than that of its Marina Square location, its location in The Poiz Centre is around where one can find the outlet of Heritage Tanglin Puff there — one would also get to see the variety of wantons and dumplings that they have to offer with the display case situated at the store’s facade. Jia He Xing Dumpling’s menu at their The Poiz Centre location varies a little from their Marina Square location; the menu is segmented into sections dedicated to Dumplings, Wontons, Noodles, Pan-fried and Appetisers.
The Fresh Shrimps and Fish Roe Dumplings is one of the dumplings that Jia He Xing Dumpling has to offer in the Dumpling section of the menu — these folks do offer their dumplings in a style similar to what Yuen Kee Dumplings has been doing where each serving comes with options of 8pcs, 10pcs or 12pcs per serving, whilst also coming with a choice of sauces / soups to go along; we went with the 8pcs option with the dumplings coming Dry Tossed with Chilli Oil. Whilst not stated in the menu, it is interesting to note that there is the inclusion of a little bit of sesame sauce with the version of the dry tossed dumplings served with chili oil; with that being said, there is certainly more emphasis on the chili oil here which carries a hint of spiciness that should be manageable for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness as well as a note similar to that of Sichuan peppers without the numbness. The addition of that little bit of sesame paste does give the chili oil that added hint of nuttiness and creaminess without truly stealing the limelight away from the chili oil. The dumplings here does come with a wrapper that doesn’t feel particularly thick; whilst we did enjoy the natural hint of sweetness that the fresh shrimp gives, we did feel that the Fresh Shrimps and Fish Roe Dumplings lacked the bite that most pork dumplings would come with given how loosely packed most of the other elements are within the dumpling.
($8.50) got strong jasmine aftertaste but v easily to cover up matcha taste.
($9) its quite unique taste tbh but cookie butter dough was too hard to melt with matcha alr.
I rarely return to Lam's, but it's so impressive. Everything was good. Large and juicy meat, most amazing chilli, good soup.
They have open an outlet at The Venue Shoppes. The service was abit slow when i went during sat lunchtime. The small prawns were really smaller than normal size prawns. I also ordered their fried prawn cracker and there was no prawn. Better to eat the shop opposite the road. Wouldn't recommend this prawn noodle.
A longtime chain I hadn't tried. It's okay lah. Nothing special but hit the spots. For the price point it's fair.
Technically those are crawfish. But wow the crawfish and garlic were endless. A treat but slightly overpowering.
Simple but good. A bit small though.
Effing good. Flavourful and fell off the bone. By the way their skewers are deep-fried, not grilled.
($6) I wanted to try this previously when I was trying waffles from nearby. They are not that crispy and crunchy texture and ownself to do make baguette. Grilled Pork Baguette was quite juicy, well marinated and also not that dry.
Enjoying my Mortadella & Burrata Sandwich ($20)✨The soft and light burrata, savoury mortadella ham and a dash of truffle honey go so well with the pillowy focaccia. Enjoyed this!
