With PK, smart, liverpool, tamago, yummydummies and iwatch_ueat
Next time you are at Sim Lim Square and are feeling peckish after all that shopping for computer stuff, make sure you visit this Shanghai Delights stall at the food court. I guarantee (Did I say guarantee? I take it back. No guarantee, no refunds!) that you are going to be delighted! Just look at how big and juicy the Guo Tie is! At 50 cents a piece, it is a real bargain.
The skin is nice and crisp and the filling is generous and juicy. I felt the filling could do with a bit more ooomph though. 4/5
The one dish that you really MUST TRY is the Stir Fried Beef with rice. Yes, when I was recommended the Stir Fried Beef with rice, my first reaction was also: "Huh? Sure or not?" How good can this be? BUT it was GOOD! There was some flavour in the Beef that triggered that part of my brain that archives tastes. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was something in the Beef that triggered a brief flashback to my childhood days. It tasted like some sort of really tasty canned meat, like Ma Ling Kong Bak or something like that. It got me tasting it again and again to try to retrieve the info from the deep storage archives of my temporal lobes. Unfortunately I still could not positively identify the flavour, but boy was it pleasurable. 4.5/5
The other signature dish is the SzeChuan La Mian. Not bad if you like Hot and Sour soup. The gravy was full of chucky chicken pieces and the bowl was very generous. Quite shiok on a cold rainy day! 4/5
Conclusion
Great food and very generous portions! Though there are an increasing number of Shanghainese food places springing up in Food Centres, this has got to be one of the best ones around for affordable and shiok Shanghainese Food.

I started eating the beef rice from that store more than 10 years ago. The chili that they give complements the beef very well. I've not been eating from that store for more than 3 years, time to visit it again.
Love the guo tie from this stall. Juicy to the bite.
i love the beef noodles though!
and yeah the chilli is good!!!!
The dishes we ordered were very good especially the beef rice and the guo tie. Strangely the owner is a Singaporean. He is friendly and dare to experiment to improve his foods. Hope more Singaporean hawkers is like him.
Like previous poster, I ate the beef rice more than 10 years, I believe the current operator is not the same.
Been there last year, was totally turned off by his hack care attitude unlike previously. Asked for sunny side up egg with runny yolk with my order of beef rice, he kept quiet. Ended up with solid yolk, was bruquely brushed off when I complained, he claimed that it was not possible to cater to every cusomer's special request.
Boycotted this stall since.
Readers should try the Korean food stall. Had the saba set two days ago. It was delicious.
The beef rice was passable. Had the pancake and guo tie, both were terrible. Changed owners perhaps?
