I had the Grilled Chicken Chop from 5 Little Bears to share it with my friends. The chicken is a little bit tough, suggesting that it might be cooked and then taking it to reheat again when there's an order coming in. A little disappointed with the standard of the chicken chop. It also tasted quite salty and I guess it's the MSG in it which is why I feel thirsty after having it. I do hope that the shop will improve their food quality if the signboard says "Taiwanese Food" and yet it doesn't tast

This is a relatively new place that opened at Far East Plaza and at first we thought the name was unique although absolutely in no relations to the fact that it serves Taiwanese food. I had the minced pork rice with salted vegetables and egg. It tasted oily and kinda off. Not very nice. I won't be going back again and would not recommend this place to anyone.

A very simple menu.Order the following for dinner with winter melon tea. Set A : Honey Glazed Chicken Chop + Sour Plum Sweet Potato + Wintermelon Teea ($8.80)The chicken chop is cut into small pieces. I feel that it is not crispy or sweet enough. The sweet potato is like fries and is very crispy and tasty.Set B : Braised Pork Rice + Wintermelon Tea ($5.90)Looks very small amount and the pork is very small pieces.Set C : Oyster Vermicelli + Wintermelon Tea ($5.50)The vermicelli is okey but a bit

5 Little Bears at Far East Plaza is a newly open outlet and they serve Taiwanese street food. The interior of the little restaurant is well decorated with their signature dishes written on red lanterns. One might even think he has just stepped into an eatery in Taiwan.

The braised pork was marinated and thoroughly seasoned. I love that they actually offer scoops of preserved vegetables with the braised pork as it adds layers to the flavours.

Would return for more.

I'm here at 5 Little Bears today!!! 5 Little Bears is basically a restaurant that aims to bring Taiwan delights closer to Singaporeans with classics like Braised Pork Belly Rice, Oyster Omelet and Chicken Cutlet (that models after Hot-Star/Shihlin's taste) - if you're thinking of popping by one day to check it out, maybe you want to consider reading my take on this place to save yourself a trip.

I went straight to ordering their signature dish 鲁肉饭 - Braised Pork Belly Rice ($4.90). It's quite a big bowl. You can get a drink if you topped up $0.90.

Comparing it with the one I had in Taiwan (Jiufen).. I would say that it is not a fight at all, it is a far cry and much different from the "authentic" local one. So I shall not comment about comparing them any further - they are pretty much two different things.

5 Little Bears version of this dish is mediocre, and not very impressive but not inedible either. It can fill you right up with its pretty large serving, complete with half an egg and vegetables for a balanced meal. The rice is also a little soggy from being overcooked. In general, it is really just average. If you're in the area and you've an insatiable craving for this dish then I suppose you can settle with this, but don't bother making a trip down just to try it out.

Some interior decoration:

The ordering area. It's self-service and hence there is also no service charge.

They have 粉圆 and stuff like that on the menu but I was sad to be informed that their iced desserts are only available after 2pm (like why?! The blazing sun is up since 8am T_T) and that basically leaves only those boring warm desserts. There isn't a huge selection to begin with and I walked away with no desserts. So disappointed!

So I had that there’s this new Taiwan concept restaurant opening at Far East Plaza. Didn’t get a chance to go town so finally one weekend when I was around the area shopping, I decided to go and give it a try. 5 bears offered quite a number of unique Taiwanese food and it was difficult to choose. In the end I decided to try the famous “Lu Rou Fan”. A bit disappointed because it doesn’t taste like the authentic one I had from Taiwan.

The “Lu rou” or braised meat doesn’t have the special punch to it. The rice was pretty normal too. The drink which comes with it (wintermelon tea I think) tasted too sweet that I just had a few sip and not finishing it.

I just thought that the name of this restaurant was rather cute, so we decided to check it out. My colleagues recommended that we try out the 鲁肉饭 so that was exactly what I ordered. The lunch set comes with a drink too. It was my first time having 鲁肉饭 and I thought it was quite good! I'm not much of a rice person, so I finished all the meat but left quite a bit of the rice. It's not a dish I would particularly crave for, but if it's placed in front of me, then I wouldn't mind eating it.

Had the Braised Pork Rice which is quite nice and reasonably priced at $5.90 including a drink. The Honey glazed chicken was quite nice and the fried sweet potato fries is the best i've had in Singapore so far, much nicer that the one you find at Shilin.
