Their Shanghai Nian Gao with seafood.
This is the small portion at $4.
It isn't big on seafood.
But that isn't the main star of this dish.
Their sliced nian gao is and it shines through.
Delightfully chewy yet easily digestible.
The gravy is lightly seasoned and encapsulates wonderfully umami seafood flavours within that makes one want to finish up every last drop of this!
Seafood hor fun is my favourite cze char dish but it's definitely taking a backseat to this.

And how can one not make an order for their legendary dumplings?
I went for their healthier option steamed dumplings today.
Served piping hot.
They steam only upon each order.
Generous servings of minced meat mixed with some chopped ham for that tinge of pink peeking through its translucent skin.
Perfect with ginger and vinegar.

If you have a craving for Shanghai Tim Sum, look no further than Tong Xin Ju in Maxwell market. It has been around for many years and have a ardent following of loyal customers, having to queue for good food is always worth it!

The fried dumplings (Guo Tie) is my favourite. Juicy, light brown and crispy, the fried dumpling together with their sauce is yummy! I didnt try the steamed dumplings, as I prefer fried ones, but saw many who ordered that, so i guess it should be good as well. The sour and spicy soup is also the main attraction, such a big bowl of soup power-packed with lots of ingredients, it is definitely value for money. The Beijing noodles are also in a big serving with lots of prawns, my sis wiped the whole plate of noodles off unknowingly! Prices start from $3 onwards.

Service is good too, they are very friendly and polite even when they are busy, which is really a plus point. It just makes eating there a really nice experience. On and off, I do go there to buy the fried dumplings home to eat, they are as good when its packed back, of course you dont keep it for hours before eating.

We tried both the steamed one and fried one, we like the fried one, it is very freshly made, for this price, this stall dumplings are good and nice with very fresh ingredients used with friendly staff around, I saw it on tv, decide go down try, indeed very good. The steamed one tastes very nice with the vinegar and ginger. The fried one ingredients are very tasty, once you start eating, you can't stop. Nice stall for dumplings.

Tried the dim sum here at Tong Xing Ju Special Shanghai Dim sum and i must say it was not too bad. The har gaw consisted of a really fresh and large prawn which was cooked perfectly. Love it that the har gaw skin is not too thick and that the prawn is fresh. Other dim sum such as the beancurd skin was good as it was crispy and very fragrant. the banana and prawn roll was good too.Prices here are quite affordable and is worth the money. Quality of foos is not bad!

Ever since my friend brought me to savor the Sour and Spicy soup from Tong Xin Ju, everytime when I have craving for it I will always go there for a quick fix. Their Sour and Spicy soup is different from those you had (those Sze Chuan style) outside - for Tong Xin Ju, their soup is full of awesome ingredients - pork slice, Sotong, Prawn, Tofu and etc. I always ordered a bigger portion to share with my friends or if I am feeling glutton that day, I will just finish the whole big bowl myself.

Other than that, I will also order their dumplings or Stir fried nian gao to go with the soup. Both tasted good as well. It is better to order and eat there on the spot than takeaway as it might taste different when the food is cold.

The Sour & Spicy Soup in this picture cost $5, and it's good for about 4 person. The soup has this really great tasting vinegar sour flavour and for those who wants an extra kick, you can be add more vinegar. So far, all the friends I recommend this stall to loves this soup the most.

The fried dumplings is also one of the top sellers here, going for $0.50 a piece with a minimum of 8. Fried crispy outside and the meat is still juicy inside. Add with a little vinegar and it will taste really amazing!

In conclusion, this stall is value, taste and big portion all in one.

Best to have their steamed dumplings fresh when its still "juicy" with the soup in the dumplings. You can choose to dip the dumplings in the ginger vinegar or chilli sauce provided.

Their Hot and Sour soup was quite nice as well, not overly sour or spicy. It goes well with the steamed dumplings.

well

we suppose to take a bus out of holland village to dover for dinner after work..

somehow we did not know how come we get on to the wrong bus.. but to cut the story short..

we found a nice and value for $ place for makan!

i strongly believe that right now at this stage.. there is no more such good price

that is $3 for such a big plate of hor fun

- with pork.. 3 prawns.. squids .. egg... and white cabbages

and this would cost you $4 or $5 outside those normal stalls..

because nowadays the ingredients they put in is few pieces of chicken.. few vege.. and 2 prawns.. some dont even have egg.. and sauce does not even taste good enough..

this plate.. you definitely will finish everything including the soup!!

well next will be the steam dumplings

well the ingredient is so tasty and its more than the usual ones that is usually sold outside..

so definitely value for $

i hope this will sustain and maintain it forever hahaha

how cheap is that! The skin of the dumpling is crispy & thin for the fried one and silk smooth for the steam one. The filling is savory and not too oily.

For all those tom yam soup lovers out there, the Hot & Sour Soup is highly recommended.

This stall moved from Margaret Drive Food Centre to this current location recently. I have a special love for Gyoza. And after tasted the chinese style fried dumpling from this stall, i couldn't help but fell madly in love. And, i have become a die-hard supporter since then. I have been coming back here to eat on a regular basis. The fried dumplings come in a set of 8 for $4.00. I always order a set of fried dumpling with Sweet & Sour soup.

Every dumpling is well fried, meaty and juicy, it tasted really good. It still tasted good even after you left it for many hours.

Highly recommended.

Exceptional gyoza, also known as guo tie, are known to be overflowing with soup and drips down your mouth once you bit it. Those are usually referred to as steamed guo tie, whereas there are also those that are fried, which are not as wet on the inside as the steamed ones. This stall gives us the best of both worlds by being crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Given the chance, this would well replace mcnuggets for me price-wise.
