Taipei Cafe

.

I have seen this cafe a few times whenever I waiting for the bus to travel back home, is located opposite of Bugis shopping mall near the bus stop. But I didn't had the chance to visit this cafe until one day my friend told me that she had visit a few times and just nice I saw the Big Deal offering their voucher at $9.50 for one set meal consist of a cup of drink with 2 side dishes and a choice of fried chicken or pork ribs rice. So I bought the voucher and went with my friend to have a try.

Menu of Drink / Snow Ice and Taiwan Food


Initially we order green milk tea and black milk tea but the waitress heard as red tea and green tea. When the drink arrived, me and my friend look at the drink and ask each other how come the milk tea look so clear. So I check with the waitress than realise that there is an miscommunication and they change to the milk tea for us. I order the green milk tea, the taste of the milk is not very strong and with a little hint of green tea taste. My friend order the black milk tea, the taste is much better than the green milk tea.

  Fried Crispy Chicken Rice Set

Fried Pork Ribs Rice Set
 
Both of the meat are quite oily with thick batter. They topped some delicious seasoning on the chicken but the batter is thicker than the meat. The pork ribs is too oily and the whole piece look big not because of the meat but the bones. Good point is that the meat is not tough.
 
 Cabbage with dried fish & dried shrimp in special sauce
 
I so stupid to order this because the set meal rice come with it too. The cabbage taste abit salty but quite tasty.

Braised  pork intestines
 
The pork intestines is soft and easy to chew but I don't like the center filling which has the powdery taste.
 
Marinated Egg
 
It taste just like a normal boiled egg to me.
 
Chilled tofu with century egg
 
The tofu is cold and silky with the sweet sauce dazed on it. I think I will come back for the drink but not the food. I find the cafe is spacious and there are 2 large plasma tv play the chinese song with MV. A good place to chilled with friends.
 
I heard my friend told me some of the staff are Taiwanese, so surprise that they actually hire taiwanese people to work in singapore. I have a good impression with taiwanese people after my trip to there, taiwanese people are really friendly and helpful when I was there during my holiday trip.
