Rendezvous
1515 Nanjing Xi Lu
Shanghai, China
PRICE: ???
RATING: 
Had a Singaporean meetup in Shanghai… very cool because we got a chance to check out a Singaporean restaurant, w00t! It was with a whole bunch of SIngaporeans, so it really felt like we were in SG, haha. Happily, the people were great – met a lot of cool folk and some ultra adorable kiddies (that were so young they could barely hold stuff properly, and they were using adult-sized chopsticks to eat!! Too cute!)
The decor’s a bit plain and run down, I suppose similiar to the not-so-fancy restaurants you see around Singapore, so in that sense it’s authentic 😛 The owner, a Singaporean, is totally hilarious and the staff were really friendly and helpful.. despite our 44-person group (!) causing quite the commotion in the restaurant.
Their food’s very very decent too. Some of the dishes were fantastic, others were fine, but still gave us a wonderful taste of Singapore. Favourite dish?

Mee pok (flat egg noodles with mince pork and fish cake) –
cripes this was AWESOME, so so so tasty and spicy!
Hokkien mee – would have preferred a thicker and more flavourful gravy, but still good!
Nommity!
Hainan Chicken Rice – pretty good! A nice big portion too, score
Chae Tow Kway – the flavour was excellent, but it was a little slushy
Curry puff – awesome, it was like Old Chang Kee’s in Singapore!
Chris happily tucks in
And then it was… popiah buffet time!!
Man it was PERFECT. Wish they’d rolled ’em for us though, I sucked at it 😉
Onde onde for dessert – by Chris request. He said he prefers it when the
palm sugar insides are all liquidy, this one was a bit more solid
Teh tarik (Singapore tea) and kopi (Singapore coffee)
Well fed 🙂
You forgot to ask them to leave out the bean sprouts for the mee pok!

looks delicious and pretty authentic! what were the prices like in general?
Trying to remember…. they were definitely more expensive than in Singapore, but not madly so. I think it was maybe SG$8-10 a dish?
