Taiwanese Snacks - Food Republic (Closed)

Scratched off the shell, the surface of egg was in brown colour, obviously soaked by savory herbs and spices gravy. It was nice, tasty and with light seasoning flavour.

Ordered this Mee Sua Set Meal at one of the stalls in Food Republic. This Set Meal costs about $8.60 and it comes with a bowl of Mee Sua, one Tea Leaf Egg, one glass of Ice Milk Tea and a packet of Fried Chicken Cutlet. I think this Set Meal is pretty affordable since it comes with many side dishes as well. The portion of Mee Sua given was more than sufficient and it was soft and smooth as well. The pork balls on top of the Mee Sua were soft and tender although there were quite a few pieces of fats in them. The Ice Milk Tea was not too bland and it was soothing especially after eating Mee Sua and Fried Chicken Cutlet. The Fried Chicken Cutlet was very crispy and the spice was just nice. The chicken was tender and it was comparable to those famous Taiwanese Fried Chicken Cutlet. The only food I dislike is the Tea Leaf Egg as it was way too salty for me.The ambience of the Food Republic was pretty good and the area was not very crowded during a weekday night. …Read More

It was a surprise luxury to be able to have this as a meal at an unexpected venue.The food took really long to arrive, because they only started steaming it after taking orders.Xiao Long BaoThe wait was worth it, because the Xiao Long Baos were so juicy and full of soup broth! There was so much soup that the surrounding sides of the Xiao Long Baos were bloated - reminds me of a greedy hamster stuffing too much seeds into its cheek pouches.I picked up the Xiao Long Bao, bit a little hole in a corner, and felt the hot piping soup empty into my mouth. Best meal in a food court!…Read More
