Northern Chinese noodle specialities at Alexandra Village — zha jiang mian and hand-pulled noodles from a hidden gem.
Xiao Ji Noodle House at Alexandra Village Food Centre is a hawker stall that specialises in northern Chinese noodle dishes, with its zha jiang mian — a dish of thick noodles topped with a savoury, dark soy bean paste sauce and julienned cucumber — being the signature offering. The stall brings a taste of northern Chinese comfort food to the hawker centre, a relatively rare find in Singapore's predominantly southern Chinese hawker landscape.The menu focuses on noodle preparations with authentic northern Chinese flavours, including hand-pulled noodles and various sauce toppings. The zha jiang mian is the star — the soy bean paste is rich and umami-packed, and when mixed with the chewy noodles and crisp cucumber, it creates a deeply satisfying combination.
Prices are affordable, and the stall offers a welcome change of pace from the typical hawker fare. For a bowl of northern Chinese noodles that stands out from the crowd, Xiao Ji Noodle House at Alexandra Village is a hidden gem worth discovering.

Saw some people eating fried dumplings from this stall. Since it's one of my favourites I ordered a plate to try. This is one of the best fried dumplings I have ever had. The filling is so juicy and there are lots of chives. Only 6.50 for 10 pcs.
