why is everything here so good 😭
my parents brought me to 三人行 (san ren xing) and i finally understood why its one of their favourite restaurants HAHA. the food here just feels sooo hearty and comforting, esp when shared w family and friends 🥹 we visited the thomson plaza outlet as a party of 7 on a monday evening and got seated immediately without reservations!

honestly comparable to din tai fung imo, just with a slightly thicker skin. super juicy filling and the soup inside was sooo satisfying 😋

we skipped the extra dried chilli because they warned us it was super spicy HAHA. ended up being more sour and salty than spicy, but the fish itself was sooo soft and tender

If you're curious about trying more dishes at San Ren Xing, I'd suggest looking into some of their other popular items like the Braised Nanping Noodles and French Bean, which complement the meal nicely. The Glutinous Rice Cake is also a sweet finish worth trying. Don’t hesitate to visit during off-peak hours, as I managed to get a table immediately without a reservation on a Monday evening — making it convenient for spontaneous gatherings. San Ren Xing’s appeal lies not just in its food but also in the welcoming atmosphere that makes sharing meals with family and friends even more enjoyable. Next time, bring a group so you can sample more variety — it’s the best way to experience their hearty, comforting flavors. From my experience, the balance of spice and savoriness, like in the Szechuan Chicken, keeps things exciting even for those who don’t handle heat well. In summary, San Ren Xing offers both quality and value, making it well worth a visit if you’re in Singapore and love authentic, satisfying dishes with a touch of home-cooked appeal.
ive only went to their outlet at bugis, but the candied yam dish was a fav!
