Introduction
Located at the place first known as the “Qun Zhong Eating House”, Jing Hua was one of the first occupants of a row of recently refurbished shophouses along Neil Road in Singapore’s Chinatown. Over the years, the family slowly adapted their Shanghainese recipes to suit Singaporean tastes. The result is a tight menu of dumplings, noodles and desserts that is appealing to people of all nationalities who travel through the small island nation.

Compared to the ubiquitous Din Tai Fung, Jing Hua's soupy pork dumplings are more delicate, possessing a refinement that's exquisite.We had:1) Pork Dumplings ($5.50 for 4 pcs): pork mince was sparkling fresh with nary a whiff of that heavy 'porky' stench, broth was light and clear, dumpling skin was impossibly thin but resilient. An absolute must-try.2) Black Pepper Steamed Beef Dumplings ($6 for 4 pcs): Order only if you're a fan of coriander leaves, this was unfortunately laced with coriander leaves. Obviously, not my favourite thing.3) Zha Jiang Noodle ($7.50): rustic and hearty concoction of minced pork bean paste gravy slathered over thick chewy noodles and balanced with oodles of fresh beansprouts, wilted spinach, and julienned cucumbers. Must-try too.4) Hot & Sour Soup ($4.50): a lot more mellow and muted than I'd expected, but no less delicious.5) Crispy Red Bean Pancake ($11.80): possibly the best rendition around of this classic Shanghainese dessert. A beautifully crisp golden crust, the dough underneath was a lovely chewy texture, layered with a not-too-sweet red bean paste. Also must-order.

This is the third outlet of a popular Chinese eatery in Chinatown. Located at the basement level of Palais Renaissance, which is transforming itself into a food haven for people working around the shopping mall. This is one of 3 new restaurants that have opened there recently.My lunch partners and I were looking for a place to dine last week and I suggested we try them out.Here are the highlights:- Xiao Long Tang Bao: $8.80 (Juicy steamed pork dumplings). The skin was thin and the filling was nice and juicy. Eaten with the vinegar and ginger slices on the side, it was good. Musy-order!- Chinese Pizza: $10.80 - Crispy crust stuffed with seafood and pork filling. This was like a huge round curry puff. It was almost flat, and the filling was nice. This is easily an order for 6 pax to share.- Pan Fried Mixed Seafood & Pork Dumpling: $6.50 for 6 pieces - Nice pot-stickers which are rolled into cyclindrical shape instead of wanton shape. Filled with minced meat and seafood. Unique and good.- Zha Jiang Noodle: $6.80 - Thick noodles topped with minced pork, soya bean sauce with bean sprouts, spinach and cucumbers. I loved everything in this dish, except for the cucumber. Will order my noodles without it in future.- Zha Cai Rou Si Noodle: $8 - Noodles with sliced pork and Sichuan Vegetables. We much prefer the Zha Jiang Noodle, as this was a little spicy and one of my lunch group didn't like sichuan vegetables. It was alright only.- Pan fried red bean pancake: $10.50. This was nice. Pan-fried and it was filled with red bean paste and mochi. The mochi added a different texture to the dessert. Recommended!Being located on Orchard Road will cater to the shopping crowd and tourists who are looking for traditional delights at a convenient setting.Try it!
