Shandong Dong Ji — Restaurant in Jurong East

Don't understand the rave reviews for this place.

Servings were big and prices were low. 3 normal eaters can share 2 bowls of noodles comfortably. Xiao long bao at 6 for $4, guo tie at 12 for $5, noodles at $4.

Noodles were thick and chewy. Hand made on the spot but I feel other la mian is better. big serving.

but... the rother food I ordered was bad. Xiao long bao skin was thick, like dumpling-thick. Crystal Jade is my gold standard for xlb. Other good hawkerr stalls are the Chinese food stall at Alexandra Village and the one at Zion road. These are like sui jiao masquerading as xlb.

Guo Tie were deep fried. They are supposed to be pot stickers- pan fried. Skin was thick and floury. Meat was not tasty. If you want real good ones, try the one at Zion Road food centre.

Chao shou (chilli oil dumplings) were sui jiao in chilli oil. They are supposed to be wantons with thin and smooth skin. Not just sui jiao with chilli oil over them. Again the 2 other hawker stalls have much better versions. Or other China food hawker stalls.

Really bad food. If you tried the other 2 popular China food stalls, this is really bad despite the good...

Use to come to this place often when I worked out here. Wish there’s one closer to where I work and live now. Don’t have any pics for evidence but this la mian joint is the bees knees. I think the noodles are hand rolled and made in the kitchen. I’m not an inspector now, I just go eat and write stories about the hustles out there in the streets getting it everyday. Aunties here are lovely but I can barely speak English let alone Chinese, so I’m bind to use my handy primary math education by saying which dish I want by pointing or saying the number of the dish. Yeah very sophisticated stuff right here, parents will be proud of what a wonderful renaissance men I am. They got great dumps too with that chili oil, black vinegar and thin slice of ginger is just “oohhh chef’s...

(Good & yumz) Handmade noodles in the West?! 🍜 Eat simi: Wanton with Chilli Oil La Mian (Dry) Each how much: $4.5 (Cash only) Eat which store: Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian XLB Eat where: Jurong East Eat nice not: 4/5 🍜 Very important to ask for healthier choice (少盐少油) as the original one could be slightly harsh on the salt and oil! Nonetheless, the noodles were deeply coated and I enjoyed the slight acidity which helped whet the appetite. The handmade noodles have a more dense bite rather than springiness. There was also a generous amount of variety of ingredients providing addictive pockets of texture. 🍜 Absolutely worth it for a full substantial meal which costs
