Jue Wei Ban Cai 绝味拌菜 - Affordable Shanxi Cuisine in Chinatown

 After trying out cheap massage at People’s Park Complex, I was hungry and decided to get some lunch. 

Jue Wei Ban Cai - Restuarant FrontI walked past Jue Wei Ban Cai 绝味拌菜 on my way in and the liangpi looked really tempting. I have not had a good bowl of liangpi in a very long while and I really miss it. Liangpi is a type of Chinese noodle made from wheat or rice flour. Liangpi originated from Shannxi region and is now very popular all around in China, especially in the northern and central regions where it is known as “liang pi zi”.

This small eatery has just a seating capacity of 8-10 people specializes in Sichuan cuisine which is famous for its numbing spicy foods.

Jue Wei Ban Cai - Shanxi Liang Pi

This is the Shanxi Liangpi [S$3.50] that I have been craving,  which is also known as majiang liangpi. You can choose whether you want spicy or non-spicy, this is the non-spicy version. The cold noodles is mixed with cucumber slices, bean sprouts, wheat gluten and a a concoction of Chinese sesame paste, vinegar and salt. (known as ma jiang in Chinese, this is where majiang liangpi gets its name). 

The board translucent noodles are thick and chewy while the bean sprouts and cucumber slices gives the dish a refreshing taste. The Chinese sesame paste lends its pungent fragrance to the dish. It is usually served cold, perfect for Singapore’s humid weather. 

Jue Wei Ban Cai - Vegetable with Pork DumplingsI also ordered a serving of Vegetable with Pork Dumplings [S$5 for 12 pieces]. You have a choice of cabbage or chives for vegetable, the meat is pork. The dumplings are cooked upon order and served steaming hot, each dumpling is plump and juicy. 

Jue Wei Ban Cai - Side Dishes

There are 14 types of cold dishes to choose from, the variety changes from day to day. They are super tasty, but the cold dishes contain lots of monosodium glutamate (MSG) so consume at your own risk. 

Jue Wei Ban Cai 绝味拌菜’s Chinese cuisine are very authentic, their liangpi is to-die-for. The best part is their prices are very affordable, a meal of a main dish and 2-3 cold dishes will cost less than S$10.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
