Pretty bustling Taiwanese restaurant with a short wait for a table on a Friday evening. These were what we got:
- Feng Food Deluxe Dry Noodle ($16.70 + $1.20). This had two thumbs up but honestly it was just decent. Like dry XO noodles with a few slices of tender pork chop. Added on their thick noodles which was alright.
- Youmaicai ($10). Simple but delicious.
- Three Cups Tofu ($14.80). Tofu pieces were fried which gave it a really great texture contrasting the sweet-savoury sauce.We liked this.
- Taiwanese Braised Beef ($11). Tender slices of beef in a Taiwanese-style savoury broth. Warm and hearty but not a standout.
- Hakka-style Braised Meat Rice ($10.60) Delicious, a good version of luroufan.

Service was friendly and we liked they offered three different kinds of chilli to complement the dishes. However, not sure if we overordered but $68.50 seems slightly pricey for a meal for 3 pax.

Cosy and vibey Taiwanese bistro in the Boat Quay area. We started off with the Enoki Mushroom ($6.90) which was done perfectly - crunchy enoki in a deliciously crisp batter. For mains, the Shredded Chicken Rice ($8.50) was so addictive with the intense flavours of the fried shallots and a special fragrant oil. Add the TSK Chilli Sauce for a spicy kick! Washed everything down with the Four Season Pure Tea ($3.50) which was light and refreshing.

Service-wise, I dropped it down a star as when I pointed out that the chair had some stains on it, the server just looked at it but decided not to do anything about it which was strange.

Dropped by for an afternoon set, and decided to go with the Egg Omelette ($4.80) and added on $1 for a cold milk tea. Overall a decent meal at a good price after the 25% discount on Fuzzie. Only bad part about my experience was that the high chairs were a tad uncomfortable.

Lurou Fan ($5) and Pork Cutlet Bento ($7.50). Homely and tasted good, I'll return whenever I'm craving simple Taiwanese fare. Tried their Fried Mushrooms too but didn't like them.

Had the Ah Bao Braised Pork Rice ($5.80), Crispy Enoki Mushrooms ($5.20), and Chicken Mee Sua ($5.50). Do note that you can only use the Burpple 1 for 1 on specific items. My mee Sua was the free dish so total added up to $12, no GST or service charge.

- The Braised Pork Rice (or luroufan) was delicious yet comforting, reminding me of those I had eaten in Taiwan. The cai poh also added a crunchy kick to the dish!
- The Enoki Mushrooms were crispy and flavourful, especially since we added the Truffle flavour (+1). The batter was slightly thick though, so the taste of the enoki did not shine through.
- Lastly, while the flavour of the mee sua was there, the mee Sua itself was a little too soft for my liking, and it was more of the soupy variety.

The shop is quite a ways away from Bendemeer MRT, and there were barely any people when we were there on a Tuesday night. Do support!

Adventurous and always looking for new flavours on my tongue!
