Shi Xiang Ge 食香阁

I'm back! I remembered it's good but hadn't returned because la mian has since become common. Mala soup can't drink so a bit sian, but the pork was tender and fatty, and I liked their knife-cut noodle.

I'm back! I remembered it's good but hadn't returned because la mian has since become common. The meat was great quality, the broth was fragrant and the garnish elevated it. But I regret the noodle choice zzz. I hate wide noodles and I thought biang biang was like 关庙面 but theirs was as wide as kway chap.

vv big portion of chewy thick noodles, can feed 2 ppl. intestines were huge yet tasted clean! soup wasnt overly oily but could have been spicier imo

This food stall in the food court above Bishan Bus Interchange is no stranger to many people living in Bishan.

Interesting way of ordering as you need to head over to the ordering kiosk around the stall to make your order, then proceed to the counter to make your payment and collect your queue number.

A big bowl of beef la mian here with tasty soup. Topped with pieces of beef.

I love HUGE DUMPLINGS, and couldn't resist getting their 红油抄手 Poached Sichuan Dumplings in Spicy Sauce despite being full. The wrapper might be a lil thick, but these wontons are packed to the brim with flavourful chives and pork filling & bathed in the spicy and tangy concoction of Lao Gan Ma/vinegar.

IS THIS LIKE BISHAN'S BEST (not-so) HIDDEN GEM? Heard rave reviews on the handmade noodles Shi Xiang Ge 食香阁 @shixiangge on the 2nd floor of Bishan Bus Interchange and decided to try their Braised Pork Knife Shaved Noodles 刀削面. The portions here are HUGE, but these freshly made knife-shaved noodles are springy with a beautiful chew! Even on 小辣, their mala broth was numbingly spicy and addictive enough to get me slurping together with their noodles on a rainy afternoon. If you are more spice tolerant, there's more lao gan ma at the counter for that extra heat.🔥🍜 There are other variations like the Tomato and Egg version (which Friend A ordered), but I prefer having these thicc cut noodles with soup.
