Lao Beijing 老北京食堂 - Northern Chinese fare at Novena

Lao Beijing (老北京食堂), under the Tung Lok group, serves Northern Chinese fare. Have visited this place for a set meal in 2008. It was quite a pleasant experience so I was all for it when my family suggested that place.

Besides, Tung Lok has been having a series of promotions by vouchers! If you spend up to 50, 100 or 200 on ala carte items, you could enjoy 50% discount respectively! 

The best dish has got to be Soon Hock (SGD48.00). It was of supreme freshness. The sauce also goes very well with the fish.

Shanbei Chicken (SGD12.00) was served in a claypot. Shanbei chicken has also been one of my favourite dishes. So I was glad to find it on the menu. I find that it can be stronger in the taste.

The portion of Beijing Duck (SGD24.00) was quite generous. The wrap for Beijing Duck was rather unique and it is probably made of eggs.

Pork Shank (SGD22.00) was quite well braised. Worth a go at it.

The other dishes were rather mediorce:

Mushroom with Broccoli (SGD16.00)

Egg Skin Beancurd (SGD12.00)

Jelly Fish (SGD4.00)

Shark’s Fin (SGD28.00) was a disappointment. The way it is served does not make it easy to eat either. The stock was average too. Quite a boo hoo.  

We ordered two sets of Xiaolong Bao (SGD8.00). Little did we know that there were 8 Baos in a set. We were surprised how the waitress did not advise us against it.

When we tried to order the desserts, quite a number of items were out of stock. So we only ordered Mango Sago Pomelo (SGD5.00) and Herbally Jelly (SGD5.00).

The former was a let down and the sago was not even well cooked. The herbal jelly on other hand was quite good apparently.
