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

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 dishes at the same time. If you ordered an item different from the rest, then you need to prepare to wait


We wanted to order beef noodles initailly but were not available that day. Thus, we tried 排骨鸡丁葱油面 instead. Frankly speaking, the presentation does not look appetizing at all. I would dare to say the presentation of any fishball noodles at hawker centre beats them. However, as you dig in, you will find the meat well seasoned & flavourful. Their noodles were handmade as well & is quite chewy.

上海生煎包 is a must to order. The fillings were very flavourful. Accordingly to the boss, they only handmade the dumplings when there is an order. Thus, the dumplings served were piping hot straight from the wok.

I love the 南瓜饼. Basically it is just red bean paste wrapped in pumpkin dough & pan fried till slightly crispy. The sweetness is just right to my liking.
Overall, even though the food is nice, it is definitely not worth the wait or value for money.

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.

This popiah is what netizen had been raving about and some said it’s one of the best they had. Shanghai Ren Jia uses Chinese Cabbage as the main filling instead of our Singapore version of popiah that is filled with Turnip. The popiah skin is more of less the same as others but the fillings is exceptional. Thick piping hot gravy of braised cabbage with minced meat overflowed into my mouth upon the first bite andddddd I almost got scald. Best if I let it cool down a little before the first bite. $7.20 for 6 pieces.

The sheng jian bao is really small in size,but with one mouthful of it, you can really taste the juicy and sweet pork meat in it. The buns' skins are not too thick and blend in very well with the pork meat. The Xiao long baos tasted quite similar to other Chinese restaurant out int he market. Skin is really thin and soft, and the minced meat inside are very juicy and not too dry. Great meal!

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 dishes were ordered. First up was the steamed xiaolongbaos. The skin was firm without breakage and piping hot. But what was more tantalising were the soup stock within the dumplings. 鲜甜!

Their noodles with dark sauce and diced chicken did not disappoint. The tart springy noodles were of a good bite. Coupled with the dark sauce and chicken, it was a meal in itself if not for the small portion.

If you like chives, you would definitely love Shanghai Ren Jia's yellow chives omelette. Done with good wok hei and a generous splash of oil, the eggs fluffed well. The chives were pleasant smelling with a nice crunch. A must-try!

We waited for close to 30mins for the last dish...Sheng Jian Bao. Essentially pan-fried buns with meat fillings, it was crisp and hot when it eventually arrived. But what disappointed was the cloying oil-filled base of the buns. It would have fared better if it was not the last dish. But it was still a commendable effort.

Conclusion

Shanghai Ren Jia is a restaurant you should not patronise if you do not have a good 1.5hrs to spare for lunch on a weekday. But if you do, there are some gems to be found.

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

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 soup noodles. i liked the sour soup base.

Ordinary looking spring roll but it is a must-try! The wait is well worth it! Yet again, crispy on the outside, very crispy and moist on the inside.
