Sum Hay fans who were heartbroken when Sing sold the business were overjoyed to learn that he was back, with a new place in a less scary neighbourhood. Same awesome chow though.
Highlights of the menu are the Ginger Beef (best in the city, hands down!) and Singapore Noodles, as well as insanely great BBQ Duck, Chicken and Pork.
Other good stuff is Honey Chicken (basically a chicken version of the Ginger Beef), Almond Shrimp, Mooshu, and Chow Mein.
But the really good stuff is right at the beginning of the menu, from number 6 down to about number 12. These are customizable dishes - you choose your meat, either single or combinations of two (pork/chicken/duck in various permutations), which you can get as soup with rice or egg noodles, or on rice, or on fried Chow Mein noodles, with vegetables.
The best dish in the restaurant, therefore, is "#6, Fried Noodle, Black Bean Sauce" - try it, you'll be amazed, and it's far superior to the BBQ Pork Chow Mein elsewhere on the menu. Alternately, you can get the same thing with Pork & Chicken, Pork & Duck, Chicken and Duck, etc...
I've been buying food from Sing for almost 15 years now, and I can think of maybe one or two times that I wasn't happy with what I got. -

With my index finger already pointing toward the ceiling, I walked through the door during at noon in hopes to get a seat in this bustling lunch joint. "You mind the big table?", the Chinese lady shouted, gesturing towards a massive family sized round table. Although it wouldn't have been the first time I ever sat solo at a huge shared table, I was relieved to agree to the other option the very friendly older gentleman (who I wasn't even sure was working there at first) presented. As I pulled up a stool and cozied up to the bar in front of the till, he prepared my settings with a kitschy Chinese Zodiac paper place mat and left me with a menu and pad of paper.
It made my mouth water just going through the possibilities of the large menu. At last, I decided on the barbecue duck and pork on fried rice. Although not entirely surprising, the massive platter that arrived within a few minutes was positively overwhelming. The hearty duck had the proper crispy skin while the bright red dyed pork was extremely lean. The green pea and egg speckled fried rice was darker brown than I usually prefer, but also wasn't too dependent on soy sauce for its flavour. When I finally threw in the towel, I still had enough leftovers to fill the rectangular styrofoam box.
The service was pleasant with unsolicited iced water refills. I was amused that a fork and tablespoon were the default cutlery, but found myself for the first time in my life wondering how the heck anyone could eat bone-in meat with a fork and no knife. -

It was definitely comforting to eat here, while they played chinese tv up on the flatscreen, and I can speak chinese to what seemed like a mom and pop shop.
I got a bbq duck with rice noodle. It was a HUGE portion for $10. It was quite good and a familiar taste.
The decor was kind of bland. But the prices are good. I would come again, and grab take out. -

Best hot and sour soup in Winnipeg. Great Moo Shoo.
