Hand In Hand Beijing - Singapore

Every dish was very well done, there were no duds on the menu. The salted egg mushrooms were my favourite. There are private rooms upstairs but no lift. The restaurant has been quite filled every time I've come here (3 times, all weekday lunches) but we still managed to get a table without having to wait. The food can sometimes take a while to arrive but it's worth the wait. One thing I didn't quite like is that they charge for water.

NEW: Came back 3 4 weeks after our 1st visit. Ordered mostly the same stuff with 2 new additions/ changes. The beef fried rice was very average, it looks different from the egg fried rice previously but taste pretty close (simple a tad bland . The 水煮牛 was a little disappointing nowhere near what you'll expect when in China (but we won't know if we didn't try it . Overall, it was still a fantastic dinner. OLD: We had a craving for a taste of China after watching some China food programs.. so we came to check this place out ~5:30pm (and a long queue started forming just 30mins later . We came seeking for authentic China and that's what we got (barring the 炸酱面 .. we really enjoyed the fried duck, 小笼包, 门钉肉包, 手撕包菜腊肉. We are certain to return in full force some day. Love it.

I would give it 6 stars if there’s an option. It was a surprising find during office lunch time not crowded at all. The food was so good especially the Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce, Men Ding Rou Bing and Mapo tofu. The portion was HUGE. People working there were very efficient as well and the food were served quite timely. If you love Chinese food like me, you cannot miss this place !

Restaurant has a long history since 2004. La mian is hand-made by them so texture is good. Overall, enjoyed the dishes we ordered. Very authentic Beijing cuisine and flavours.

Warning: Long post ahead 蒜泥白肉 Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce 京酱肉丝配薄饼 Shredded Pork with Soy Paste and Popiah 干煸四季豆 Dry Fried French Beans with Minced Pork 小笼汤包 Baozi Stuffed with Juicy Pork in Bamboo Steamer (aka Xiao Long Bao) 老北京炸酱面 Noodles with Soy bean Paste, Beijing Style (aka Zha Jiang Mian) 红烧牛腩面 Noodles with Beef Brisket in Soy Sauce Food wise: The Xiao Long Bao, really good, has a lot of juice, the skin is also thin and the meat is tender! Shredded Pork was also another star of the show, tender and savoury meat, the sauce is just wow, sweet and aromatic! French beans, if only it was stirred more, the saltiness of the dish is not even, some bland and some on the point, delicious Pork with Popiah was very good too! The meat was also tender and savoury and popiah provided a different texture, so good! If only they provided more sliced spring onions, it surely enhanced the taste more. The two other noodles are fillers, which they are filling(due to over-ordering)! So might need to consider sharing on this. Ambience wise: Not too much focus on the ambience here, aircon wasn't strong too. But they do have a dumbwaiter to hasten serving food to customers.
