Shou la shou Beijing Restaurant

This place is awesome — it’s a true local dig that a local friend of mine brought me to. It’s at the basement of a low rise building consisting of a few shop-​houses, right in the Little India district, so it’s very busy and there is always activity. I recall that parking was difficult to find (it is Singapore), so we walked about 5 – 10 minutes from a local parking garage.
We missed the lunch crowd as we ate around 2pm, but it was still half packed. The place had awesome noodles — the chef was «pulling» the noodles on the spot, which is a Chinese specialty noodle from Shanghai, if I remember correctly. The «Dan Dan» noodles was excellent, the sauce was soooo good and the noodles tasted fresh and light. We also loved the «Little Dragon Dumplings», which came in a large steam basket. The skin of these dumplings was so thin and the soup in the dumplings so tasty when paired with the succulent meat inside. I must have gobbled down four or five! We ended up ordering a 2^nd basket of these dumplings! I am no expert but my local friend said that this was one of the best made dumplings he knew of.
The meal ended up being very very affordable — even by local cheap food prices. I think we paid all in 6 – 8 USD each for both the noodles and the dumplings. The place had a wonderful local atmosphere — we were eating with traffic whizzing by only 10 feet away — I would go back again in a heartbeat!
