The newly opened Food Republic has a very 40s feel, with the shophouse paintings on the walls. Qiu Lian Ban Mian is famous for their ban mian and they do have several oulets across Singapore.

One thing to note about their noodles -they're really springy! It has the taste of freshness with every bite and $4.20 gets you a hearty bowl of noodles, minced meat, vegetables and a cracked egg. The soup is tasty without being overly salty, and the MSG was pretty minimal. The cracked egg gives the soup a slightly cloudy quality -yum.
The dumpling noodles are pretty much the same as the ban mian, with the exception of the dumplings replacing the minced pork. The dumplings are really huge -at first I was wondering why there were only 3 dumplings, but the size more than made up for it. Even though the skin of the dumpling was a little thick for my liking, the filling was really tasty!!! Filled with tasty pork, carrot strips and some chinese chive, the texture of the filling was flawless. Had the skin not been so tough/thick, this dumpling would have been perfect!
