We got to learn about the existence of Lim’s Fooditude whilst scrolling around the phone one day; Lim’s Fooditude is one of those stalls that one is unlikely to have heard about unless they are residing or working within the vicinity of where it is located. Situated within the coffeeshop within A'Posh BizHub, other notable F&B tenants that are located in the same coffeeshop in A'Posh BizHub would include the likes of IPOH CURRY MEE 怡保咖喱面 and the outlet of Hai Nan Zai 海南仔 there. Despite being one of the newer additions to the coffeeshop, Lim’s Fooditude does have quite a bit of history in the F&B scene; in fact, the brand has had it roots coming from Johor Bahru, Malaysia — these folks seemingly had become inactive on social media since 2022, but had previously operated a space along Jalan Setiah Indah in Taman Setiah Indian (reminds us of the same situation as Kinta Hainanese Chop & Rice at Balestier Food Centre). Whilst being an independently-operated establishment in Johor Bahru, the operations of Lim’s Fooditude with its move to Singapore has been reduced to that of a coffeeshop stall. Being an establishment that focuses on serving up Taiwanese cuisine, Lim’s Fooditude’s menu is spread across categories such as Rice, Ramen and Taiwanese Snack; interestingly, there is also an entirely different menu revolving around “Specialty Poke Bowls” — while the poke bowls here do not seem to involve the use of raw fish, these are basically rice bowls with a salad element that comes with meat choices such as that of Teriyaki Chicken, Fried Chicken / Pork and Taiwan Braised Pork.

For those looking to try a variety of items in one single visit here, the rice and noodle dishes offered at Lim’s Fooditude would allow for one to do so at a manageable portion size — this is especially so for the rice / noodle items that comes with Small Chicken Chop / Pork Chop by the side. Considering so, we found ourselves going for the Taiwan Braised Pork Rice with Small Chicken Chop. Whilst the menu illustrates the item to have the Taiwan Braised Pork Rice being served in its own bowl separated from the Small Chicken Chop that is pictured to come on a separate wooden platter, we found that the items do come served up in the same bowl in reality — other elements that come with the Braised Pork Rice would also include half of a braised egg, braised vegetables and pickled vegetables as well. The Taiwan Braised Pork Rice comes with the braised pork being of a consistency that is almost integral with the braised sauce; the end result being somewhat of a meat sauce that is drenched above the rice. The flavours of the braised sauce was actually pretty savoury and sufficiently rich whilst at it; the meat coming with a good balance of lean and fatty parts where one can feel the fibres of the lean meat against the melt-in-the-mouth texture of fattier parts that both had absorbed much of the flavours of the braising liquid itself. We felt that there was sufficient braised meat sauce to go along with the portion of rice for flavour, though they do seem to be a little generous with the portion of rice here as well. The small chicken chop on the other hand does feel like one that comes with a rather thick deep-fried batter and at times did seem a little dry — thought thankfully, not particularly greasy. Whilst dusted with paprika powder, salt and pepper, we weren’t quite a fan of the slightly vinegary and tangy notes that inherently came with the chicken. The braised vegetables does give the dish an additional texture of a soft crunch, while the pickled vegetables were definitely more crunchy and came with a tangy note that cuts through all of the heaviness from the meats and rice. We did find it a little hilarious that the braised egg is missing of its yolk here, though is likely to have come with a fully-cooked egg yolk considering the circumstances.

Another dish that we had tried during our visit to Lim’s Fooditude would be the Taiwan Scallion Ramen with Meat Ball (3 pieces); despite the menu having listed the availability of deep-fried or boiled meat balls for the dish, we were actually served the deep-fried meatballs by default — it also came with six (6) pieces of meatballs, though the meatballs are sized smaller than the usual Gong Wan that one would expect at Taiwanese establishments. Tossed with scallion oil and shallots, the Ramen does come with a good bite and was pretty flavourful being all savoury on its own; the fried meat balls felt more like a commercially-made product that had gone into the deep-fryer and came with a crisp exterior and a bouncy bite — the flavours being all savoury as well. We also had went for the Taiwan Scallion Egg Pancake with Chicken Floss; we had the impression of the scallion egg pancake being much like a commercially-made product with consistency almost similar to that of Roti Prata. Drizzled with mayonnaise and whqt seems to be Okonomiyaki sauce, it is savoury and creamy with a hint of umami notes coming from the chicken floss. Truth to be told, Lim’s Foodtitude’s offerings aren’t particularly impressive enough for one to make an out-of-the-way visit to check them out; that being said, they do seem to minimally answer to the cravings that one would develop when should one be itching for Taiwanese cuisine. With the most expensive dish being priced at $8.50, Lim’s Foodtitude’s offerings does come at a decent price range as a food stall in a coffeeshop. Considering its location and the variety of food that they are serving up, Lim’s Fooditude does end up being a rather interesting option to find at in the area around Yishun Industrial Park.
