I'm not sure if these guys have anything to do with the previous stall or even the Baguo folks next door, but a chuanr shop now occupies Shandong Helemian's old spot at 313@Somerset. It wasn't very good, unfortunately. The lamb was tough, the string beans were doused in a sweet soy sauce, and the potatoes were still a little raw. But hey, at least we're starting to see more chuanr popping up food courts.

8 reviews of Food Republic "I would have thought that I might not find this kind of spicy food after a 2004 Beijing Hot Pot experience with a now Elite Yelp member ( yes the same one mentioned earlier in another review of mine). But I was wrong.…
Teppei took over Koh Sushi's old spot recently (435 Orchard Road #04-21), but I never had much interest in going, as the food didn't look very interesting.
The fish was decently fried at least before going into that chili bath, but we should just go to Tan Yu next time.
The Baguo Grilled Fish stall at 313@Somerset now has these single-serving hot pot meals. I grabbed this suancai yu version, and it was refreshing and healthy, even if nothing to go nuts over either. Too bad the chili sauce wasn't from their next door neighbor Mademoiselle Tang Noodle though.
Overall, it was interesting to see how different cuts of pork, prepared in a variety of methods, could yield such contrasts in taste and texture.
Toa Payoh Hwa Heng Beef Noodles is another noteworthy beef noodle at Bendemeer Food Centre, it usually has a queue and the waiting time is at least 15 minutes or even longer, but it is worth queuing.
