I stayed nearby & decided to drop by the place to try their food. There are only about 8 tables inside the shop & the seats are prety close to each other (practically can hear the next table's conversation).The boss is from shanghai, very friendly but very hard core. We ordered only 3 dishes to try for our lunch but we spend more than one hour inside the shop, not because of eating but waiting for the dishes. They cooked their food items in batches, thus you will see all tables getting the same

Shang jian bao - my favourite dish. $8.40 for 6 pieces. This is my third visit and their Pan Fried Meat Bun on my must-order since I tried it for the first time. Basically this is a mini pork bun that is pan-fried till half of the bun turned golden brown and the exterior fried to crisp. I really enjoyed the juicy pork fillings that goes with the crispy and yet fluffy bun. This popiah is what netizen had been raving about and some said it’s one of the best they had.

very expensive.....5粒生煎要8.6SGD...5粒小笼包要6SGD....而且生煎实在是太差了..小杨生煎的煎头上的,它家的是煎底部的,油全部给包子吸进去了,很油很硬...而且里面没有汁,非常干...就是普通的肉包子而已....反正不会再去了....还不如去超市买包包子煎了吃....

This restaurant may be always so crowded during the meals' hours, but this do not stop people like me to join the long wait outside the restaurant before I get to be seated for nearly half an hour wait. I always been craving for their braised pork knuckles, which the portion is generous and the taste was great! The pork knuckle skin is really tender and chewy, is really soft in texture and not too oily. The braised gravy is also not too salty and really appetizing. The sheng jian bao is reall

Shanghainese cuisine has never been familiar to me. Thus I can never tell if the food at Shanghai Ren Jia is authentic, or not. But I sure can comment on its tastiness. Located in the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, this little shop-for-a-restaurant displays all the traits of a small team helming the kitchen and working the tables. I understand the wait for service and food can be found wanting at times, thus the best times to patronise are either before or after the peak hours.The Food 4 dis

Sheng Jian Bao was the legendary must order dish at Shanghai Ren Jia here. I… agree. The idea of the name is essentially that it’s a fresh bun that’s taken to the pan and fried. It’s akin to the Japanese gyoza- pot stickers. But of course those are dumplings and these are buns. Expect a thick layer of skin because it’s after all, from a pau. And look at that filling. The minced meat was marinated and full of flavour. The sauce oozes out when you bite into it so tread, no, bite with caution. It’s

So we decided on some xiao long bao for lunch and since we were in the area... definitely shanghai renjia. There was the satisfying burst of soup from each xlb and the boss tells us he knows a lot about flour to make dumpling skin like that. we do believe.And just because we were there for a late lunch and just one other table occupied, we hardly got to eat in peace. The bosses are very chatty and lovable. They kept us talking while we savoured their food.And this was our order of pork tomato so

Very very good indeed! Well worth the wait.Foodies will probably have their radar up and be able to locate this wonderful gem at the heart of Ang Mo Kio. Simple but excellent. The boss is somewhat a food nazis.Appetizer: Cabbage roll, refreshing, certainly 'opens' your tummy for more food. IMO, Good but not worth it. Next is the pork ribs handmade noodles. I love handmade noodles, this is good but not fantastic. Well, this is the star of the show! Xiao Long Bao. Lovely porky juice squirt out whe
