Oh my god 1 month passed and I haven't uploaded anything! Paiseh, too busy hanging out with friends~ but on the bright side, I have more restaurant review to write cause our gathering has always been linked with FOOD XD


When you walk along Swanston Street, have you ever noticed a restaurant that is always packed with customers, and yet there are people waiting outside to go in? I was so curious about how good the food is and finally on that day, we visited "Taiwan Cafe".


The good thing about this restaurant is-- you wouldn't need to wait for too long although there are sooo many customers =D Many of my friends ordered "Oyster thin noodle" and their comments are generally good. A Taiwanese friend said it's pretty similar to those available in Taiwan. It costs only AUD 6.90 per bowl~a pretty small bowl though.


Their "Minced pork noodle" is quite nice too! The pork is tender and fully flavoured...but it can be a bit salty if you finish the whole bowl by yourself. 


The "XL crispy fried chicken" is a MUST-ORDER!! Super nice! It's very crispy and the chicken is nicely seasoned with salt and pepper. Remember to eat while it's still hot.


The food that impressed me the most during my last visit to Taiwan is "Pork Belly Bun" in Shi  Da night market (Taipei). Pork belly, pickles, peanut powder, coriander...superb combination of saltiness and sweetness. While the 1 sold in Taiwan Cafe tastes quite good, I still prefer the 1 from Shi Da night market. So don't miss the chance to eat this super-star food when you visit Taipei next time.


The bubble tea in Taiwan Cafe is pretty normal>> flat taste.


Except bubble tea, other food that we tried are nice. A restaurant that is worth trying =D

哇~一晃就是一个月!不好意思偷懒了,最近忙着跟朋友吃喝玩乐,都没好好更新呢~今天给大家介绍“台北客栈”。


各位走在Swanston Street这大街上时,有没有发现这间餐厅总是高朋满座,而且还有很多人在外面排队等位子呢?小女那天终于抵不过好奇心,去一探究竟了!


人很多,不过上菜蛮快的。它的蚵仔面线味道不赖,台湾朋友说跟台湾有得比噢。一碗才AUD 6.90,不过蛮小碗的就是了。


也点了台式炸酱面,挺好吃的。肉碎很软很入味,只是吃到最后觉得稍咸了一点点。


还有必点的豪大大鸡排!!超正点的 XD 炸得酥脆,咸香夹杂着胡椒粉香,非常大众化的口味。请记得趁热吃噢~


再来是台湾割包!台北师大夜市的割包是我在台湾最最喜欢的食物 XD 卤肉,酸菜,花生粉,香菜。。。咸甜交加的完美组合。台北客栈卖的割包还算不错,可是师大夜市的那个就更上一层楼了。各位下次去台湾可以试试。


不过这里卖的奶茶味道普通。。。我觉得它太稀了~


摒除令人失望的奶茶,其他的食物还是很赞的!有机会去试试呗 =D

  1. Did u order bubble tea? -___- I didn't even notice. The crispy chicken is the best thing there. Oyster mee sua.. unfortunately, sad to say, even the "Taiwan Shihlin Street Snacks" shop @ MidValley & Sunway Pyramid tastes better.

    Oyster was either really old, or really shriveled and dried-up. Mee sua too broken - maybe they stirred it a lot while cooking? I know you can't stir mee sua when you boil it coz these noodles are really fragile :D

    BUT for the price, it is quite good value for money!
