Lao Beijing - SG, 18th May 2008
Finally we have the chance to meet up Jancy and her husband Dennis, not forgetting the young one Jaden :P
Once a while we will organised a gathering with hongkongers who works here or married here, and at the same time to expand their circles of friends so that they will not feel bored ...
Since Jancy family is staying near the Novena, we actually fix the meeting place at Lao Beijing which is sitting inside Novena Square...
We have been to the one located at Plaza Singapura, but I like the one in Novena better, the place are well lighted
Better and neat table arrangement comapre to the Plaza Singapura
the Decor even bring out the good old days for Old Beijing, where you dont really get to see this in Plaza Singapura
even the menu really looks like the good old days
another plus point will be the colour photo, the restaurant did not print out all the varieties, but the colour pictures will definitely tells you that this will be their signature dish
Pickles to start of
and here we goes for the ordering:
Steam Dumpling - Jiao Zhi is really thin on its skin and meaty on the inside, when you eat it, you get the ooze of juice flowing inside your mouth, and the more you eat it the more you are getting hungry.. nice dish..
Xiao Long Bao is one of the best dish we tasted so far, none of any restaurant actually comes close to it, the soup in the dumpling is tasty, the meat are fresh, the sking are thin, it is even better then Din Tai Fung. when you are here.. please order this.... it is a must must order
jade Spinach Tofu - this dish is not even printed on the menu, it is by chance we ate this in Plaza Singapura, and this is still one dish that we want to recommend.. Tung Lok group has many sub restaurant inclusive of Lao Beijing, but their sub branch preparation dont even come close to Lao bei jing... the tofu are tender, mushroom are bouncy, the sauce are non salty.. perfect!

Guo Tie has its crispy skin that you will love it, but you will have to eat it while it is hot... if not the crispiness will not be there... you will have 2 choices of Guo tie, one will be with meat and the other will be with green.. as for this we order the one with green as we have ordered the steampling with meat... not really the best.. but it is worth a try
Zha Jiang Mian is not as good as the one in Plaza Singapura Lao Beijing, it taste blened and I "think" probably they are promoting a healthy lifestule :P
It is dessert time, I quite like the Mango Mousse Rolls. but my wife commented that the skin are think..the dessert rolls with mango which is spread with custard, the skin are not hard, but with the shredded coconut on it, it really taste different
This is one of the best Red Bean Pancake dessert, crispy even when it is cold.. the bean paste texture is smooth, and I think I can go on with it :P kekeke
if you want me to compare the two LaoBeijing, even they are of the same management, I will choose the one in Novena,,, y? they really have the personal touch, the waiteress are polite and very attentive compare to the one in Plaza Singapura...
