Taiwanese Food
True Breakfast's signature @ $12.80+
It's a toast that comes with pork chop, floss cheese and peanut sauce. It's quite nice but nothing that shouts out. Can have more peanut sauce.
A tad expensive.
Beef noodles soup @ $16.90++
It's a good bowl of noodles though the portion is a little small. The noodles is nicely cook, the broth is great (though a bit beefy for one of us) but the star is really the beef which is super soft and tender and tasty!
XO fried rice @ $11.90++
Tried the niu yolk fried rice the last time so decided to have something different this time. While it's difficult to match the quality of niu yolk fried rice, this is very good as well! It's very fragrant and there's a silky texture to the rice. We had to ask for chilli, it would have been nice if it comes without us asking.
So far the rice dishes have been better than the noodles dishes but we'll definitely be back to try more!
Oyster mee sua @ $8.80
Feels a bit too wet but still tastes delicious. Portion a little bit small.
Minced pork rice @ $6.80
This feels slightly different from the usual braised pork rice from Taiwan, maybe cuz it's minced meat but the sauce also tastes different. But still a good and delicious dish, and also good price point too!
Signature 3 bowls @ $16.90++
The three bowls are braised pork belly rice, salt and pepper chicken and oyster mee sua.
The best among the three is the braised pork belly rice. The braised pork belly has been well cooked through so it's soft and flavourful and goes super well with the rice.
The salt and pepper chicken is not bad, but have tasted better ones in Taiwan.
The oyster mee sua is also not bad, vinegar is prepped separately so we can decide how much we want to put in. There's also oyster inside the mee sua so quite worth it.
Other dishes we ordered include:
- homestyle braised cabbage @ $9.90++
- braised pork intestines @ $10.90++
- deep fried fresh oyster @ $10.90++
Overall very good dining experience. Would suggest to come in groups as the menu is quite extensive so can get different things to try. Reservation is almost mandatory as we tried walking in before but it's fully booked.
Peanut ice cream roll @ $6.90++
It comes sliced in half, and again, can choose with or without coriander. I think it's quite nice with the coriander, adds a different dimension to the taste. Otherwise it might have been quite normal.
Mala popcorn chicken @ $9++
Tastes a bit like the taiwan ēé „éø” (normal salted fried popcorn chicken) but with a bit of éŗ» (numbness) to it.
Balsamic vinegar fries @ $10++
Interesting dish. Quite sour. Should have come first as an appetiser. Order once is good enough (i think)
Niu yolk @ $19++
Never had a fried rice at this price, but it is so damn worth it. Best fried rice I've ever had in my whole life. Not sure if it's the egg that did the magic but the rice is so fragrant and so tasty. The beef short rib is also cooked to perfection and there's some truffle taste which goes really well with the dish.
Red hot chilli dumpling noodles @ $9.90++
The Chinese name for this dish is ēŗ¢ę²¹č¶ 大ęé¢ and the dumplings are really big and generously filled! The noodles is also very good and the chilli is even better! Love the amount of green onions they put on it too. The price point is also quite acceptable, worth it!
CCB (Crispy chicken bun) @ $7.90++
The chicken is so big! The taste is super well balanced with the mango slaw that gives it a sour edge which complements so well.
