  • This Taiwanese food place opened up not that long ago -- if you don't read chinese and you haven't looked at the menu, you'd have no idea that Taiwanese food is their specialty! I lived in Taiwan for half my life so with this so close to where I live, i had to give it a try. Overall thoughts: pretty good. The interior is really nicely done -- way more well-decorated than when it was magic oven. The people who work there were very attentive and friendly, and they refilled our tea constantly. They have many Taiwanese dishes that I was so excited about! We tried the oyster omelette, salt & pepper chicken, sticky meatball, and sliced beef shank ox tongue stomach (long name!). They were all quite good. My favourite was probably the salt & pepper chicken. It was nicely flavoured, and tasted a lot like home. It probably needed a bit more white pepper though -- i think a fellow yelper mentioned you can ask them for it. The sliced beef thing was good too. I don't recall ever ordering this while I lived in Taiwan, but it definitely tastes like something from home -- recommended! it is a bit spicy but it has great flavours. The oyster omelette wasn't entirely like the ones i'm used to having in Taiwan. There's a bit too much egg and it's a little too cooked/crispy on the edges. Every place makes it differently though, so i wouldn't call it entirely inauthentic. The sauce on top tastes the same as the ones i've had. They use a different vegetable at the bottom, and I liked it because i'm not a big fan of the kind that is usually used. For me, this dish is an okay, not a must-try for a fellow Taiwanese, but for someone curious about Taiwanese cuisine, it's a must-try. Finally, the meatball was a bit of a disappointment. The flavours were right for the most part, but it was a bit dry. The sticky part was too thick and there wasn't enough meat inside. In Taiwan, I often see them sold in bowls and drenched in sauce, but here it was served on a plate with sauce drizzled on. It's not bad, but I was a bit disappointed. Overall -- definitely a good place to try if you're craving some Taiwanese food! They also have the usual chinese food staples there, but I didn't try any. Final note: there's no stinky tofu!! :( :( :( :(
