根叔美食世家 Blk 74 Toa Payoh Lor 4 Market and Food Centre. Opens 5.30am-1.30pm Closes on Monday.

I long to find one yam cake stall that can match the one I had in Hong Kong and I remembered 根叔 near my old neighborhood. Managed to pick up the signature yam cake and the beehoon and got a seat just beside 根叔 himself... Of course the good mannered elderly chef will ensure you are seated comfortably by clearing the table and asking if the food is up to the taste. His credentials of being an ex-chef of Shangri-la Hotel, Mouth Restaurant plus few other places cannot be undermined as he does have chefs from Tim Ho Wan and other famous personalities coming to eat at his stall. Not having seen him for a while now, we manage to chat a bit.

His fried beehoon is slightly gravy wet 焖米粉 and different from the usual Cha Bee Hoon with lots of added anchovies and cabbage. It is not salty nor oily. Yam cake 芋头糕 is not as soft as the Hong Kong version but soft enough. It also has sweet and chilli sauce while the HK version is just soya sauce. Price $2.50-$3 Cheap and good enough for me...
They do a bit of upselling whenever possible to peddle other stuff from his stall.

Lamenting over the lack of descendants to succeed his business, he said he is expected to lose this skill for good. But he did have 2 disciples that prospered in Penang when they ventured on their own.

I would say I will try the porridge the next time I am there. He also advised me to pick up the 年糕 during Chinese New Year.

Don't eat any raw freshwater fish. A few men caught GBS and had their limbs amputated last year. Really scary!

You Peng Fresh Mian Jiao Zi Guan 友朋拉面饺子馆



Let us observe a minute of silence to appreciate You Peng’s creation – the quintessence of xiao long bao beauty.

There are at least a dozen of those luscious folds and just look at that mouth-watering cushion of soupy goodness. You Peng scores 10/10 for their XLB aesthetics, I swear it looks good enough to lay on. The conscientious effort to uphold the quality of their food is admirable.

If you don’t live in the West, you probably wouldn’t know Beauty World Shopping Centre had a Food Centre upstairs. (Ahh, Beauty World… Known for the innumerable maid agencies around that area that al-Jazeera condemns as 21st century slave trade in a first world country.) Now that you know, you could probably drop by when you’re around for some value for money Xiao Long Baos.

You Peng Fresh Mian Jiao Zi Guan’s XLBs and other dumplings are all handmade daily, ensuring freshness for customers. When picked up, the skin did not break, displaying its adequate firmness despite the thinness of the skin. The broth has a decent savoury stock that I felt could personally be more flavourful. The meat tasted good but was packed loosely, crumbling upon the first few bites and its texture, was too powdery for my liking.

I’ve patronised You Peng quite a few times for their Xiao Long Baos and Guo Tie/Jiao Zi, which in mu opinion is better than their XLB. So if you wanna know if I’ll come back again, yeah I already did.

Ye Chun Xiao Jiang Nan 冶春小江南



Fancy sucking soup through a straw from a Giant Xiao Long Bao? Yes? Then Ye Chun is where you need to be in, mate. This palm-sized crab roe and minced meat xiao long bao is made specially for xlb soup lovers – so go on stick it in! And suck it up!



Although Ye Chun Jiang Nan specialises in Jiang Nan delicacies and Jiang Nan style hand-pulled noodles, their xiao long baos are not bad. Their regular xiao long baos are a tad larger than the usual, with glossy resilient skin that’s smooth and enjoyably chewy. The meat holds well together and is tender to the bite.

But upon that first slurp, I was startled by how overly seasoned the soup was. Immersed in the stock, the meat was also too salty for my liking. The taste however was good if only they could reduce the saltiness then I’ll be here plenty more times for xiao long baos.

Disclaimer: I did not try their Steamed Minced Pork and Crab Roe Broth Dumplings (aka Giant XLB)
