| - I'm not an expert in Taiwanese cuisine by any means, but it comes pretty close to what I perceive as legit Taiwanese food (at least for their street-styled ones). I had the oyster pancake, sticky meat ball, and complementary sausages.
1) Oyster pancake (???)- this was actually an omelet coated in potato starch. Embedded within were pieces of oysters, and underneath was a bed of A-choy (Taiwanese lettuce). As for the sauce, it was a thicker & sweeter version of ketchup; similar to the ones in HK cafes). It complemented the omelet well and made the dish sweet & savory. And b/c of the starch, the omelet had a gooey chewiness to it.
2) Taiwanese style sticky meat ball (??)- the "meat ball" was a savory mixture of pork, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms. It tasted similar to the fillings of vegetable & pork buns in Chinese bakeries. Enveloping it was a translucent dough that had a gelatinous texture. And on top was the same tomato-based sauce.
3) Taiwanese sausage (??)- these were grilled & served on top of garlic slices. They were rather sweet & salty, and matched well w/ the spicy & pungent taste of garlic. The spices made it fragrant as well, and the skin had a slight crispiness. This would be a good side dish to have w/ rice or alcohol.
Overall, it's a pretty solid spot and the service was superb. They had great manners and I felt welcomed as a customer.
