The New Taiwanese Restaurant - Asian Delight~

A new taiwanese restaurant was opened 2 weeks ago about 10meter from the central library. A friend introduced it to me and since then it is the restaurant I most frequently visit. The food~ I wouldn't say is great but with the price and serving size taken into consideration - it becomes better than OK. The owners aim to serve foods that are high in nutritional values and hope to provide us students with balanced diet. It certainly is very balanced. Moreover, it tastes so much like home cooked food and the lady owner is so mummy like... reminds me of Taiwan everytime I go there.




My favourite dish = Pork chop with rice. Huge serving at a cost of $7.50.



$6.50 curry chicken on rice - not as good as the pork chop with rice.

1 thing I really like about the place is - for every $6.50 and above, we get a free dessert ^^ My favourite is the wheel cake (comes in different fillings like red bean paste, taro, custard and also has savoury fillings such as tuna, turnip etc) but not available all the time.

To promote the newly opened restaurant, the owners decided to hold a $1 dinner for first 50 customers yesterday. Being the 'Kiasu' me (and a few other friends) - we arrived at the restaurant 10minutes before it opened. And wooww.. apparently there were MORE kiasu people than ourselves. By 5pm, the queue has already reached the street outside the shop.



There were a few choices available: minced beef, vegetarian mince, curry chicken, stew beef and mapo tofu; on rice / noodles. They didn't allow us to choose what we would like but rather they served them at random turns and we had to just take whatever we were being offered.

When it was my turn - I got chicken curry on noodle. It was much smaller serving than what we expected but for a $1 meal, it's not too bad.
Too hungry, just gobbled the whole plate of food - then remembered I should have taken some photos before I got lost in the urge of filling up my tummy.. nevermind, still get to see the empty plates hehe.
Anyways, it didnt really fill me up so I went and bought some greasy fish and chips to complete my Saturday eat out experience.
