| - Meh I don't get it? Came here after reading the positive reviews but left which confusion and slight disappointment.
I was craving some taiwanese popcorn chicken, WHICH should be noted that it is called "yan su" chicken here, but ended up choosing a bento combo instead. BE WARNED that the pictures on the menu does not reflect what you actually get. I ordered a 14. braised minced pork bento combo and my friend ordered the 2. yan su chicken fried combo. All combos come with a selected choice of drink, but I saw another yelper's photo with the taro sundae and it looked so yummy, I asked to substitute my free drink for the sundae for an additional $2. When my drink came, it was basically just a taro bubble tea... where's the icecream? where was the taro stick--o??? When it didn't look like what was advertised, I clarified with the server and she just cut open the top packaging and topped it which a scoop of vanilla icecream. Pretty disappointing... I was also expecting a bento box meal like the neighbouring table's customer, but ended up with a minced meat rice bowl. The bowl also came with tofu (?) and some okra which I think was sitting too long (soggy)... My friend on the other hand, his meal came in a white takeout box with few chicken on the side but abundant white rice. Fried chicken tasted great though. Pricewise for the combos, I think they are good valued and well portioned. Presentation wise, it is lacking consistency.
Located in the cha me cha plaza right beside Moral Village. First impression was: "is this place even open?" The OPEN sign was lit but the interior was dark, very few people were inside, and you need to use a little extra force to open the door. When I first entered with a friend, we picked an empty table and were "greeted" by a lady who just threw 2 paper take-out menus on the table even though we were dining in... Layout, as mentioned, is strange as the building is deep rather than wide, so there are 2 long tables set up parallel to their open kitchen. Towards the back, the area is somewhat closed off as some people were still renovating/constructing (a waste bin) for the restaurant and moving stuff around. Interior and furnishing definetly still needs some work.
TLDR: Don't dine in; take-out maybe. Will probably go to neighbouring businesses for taiwanese popcorn chicken...
