Xi Men Ding Taiwan Cuisine (Closed)

Had a craving for taiwanese beef noodles and I have been on a hunt for a decent one ever since lai lai closed. I rrdered a clam soup - SO BAD. SANDY clams cooked in ginger-pepper salt water. Not recommended to order.Beef fried rice - overly oily. The beef has no taste at all. The fried rice was fine, i thought beef fried rice, the beef should at least be salted? It's like frozen beef bits with no taste. I also ordered the Wagyu beef noodle soup - it's $21.90 pre-tax... and the waiter forgot our

I am pretty sure the well-known shopping district in Taiwan - Xi Men Ding is no stranger to most of you. A fast-rising source of fashion and culture, Xi Men Ding is also home to the greatest food in Taipei. Since popular local food stalls which boast authentic Taiwanese delicacies are on the rise nowadays, one can easily enjoy a taste of Taiwan here.Girlfriend Peiyi and I would be heading to Taipei soon in mid-November 2012, and we thought, why not try something in preparation for our trip? We w

FoodNot wanting to repeat visiting the same old eateries that we have been in vivo, we make up our mind for Xi Men Ding - to reminisce our taiwan trip food. Initially, I was skeptical about place as the restaurant is empty - no customers were dinning. This is one of the restaurant opened by the creative eateries.We have ordered the set for 2 for $48, excluding drinks, wet tissues and braised peanuts.The taste of Braised meat is bland, almost tasteless and doesnt seems like it had been braised fo

If I'm around Vivo City and couldn't make up my mind what to eat, I'll go for Xi Men Ding knowing their food is always good, and their service is super fast! Also, remember to download the smartphone apps - Perx before you visit the restaurant, because spending $30 or more here will earn you one chop, which you can redeem a glass of bubble milk tea during your next visit, like I just did! We ordered their chef's recommendation dish - Deep-fried prawn with egg yolk ($19.90) as munchy starter. The

Had the taiwanese braised minced pork rice that is priced at $8.50, it was actually rather big portion and there is an egg, minced pork and vegetables. It kept me filled and the service was also quite good. They serve the dish rather fast also despite the restaurant being quite filled at dinner time. Had also ordered their recommended dish which is the salted fried chicken which was great in my opinion. It was very crispy and was well marinated with the spices also. Definitely would come back fo

This restaurant is always crowded, but I am very impressed by how fast they serve the food. We had the XiMenDing Spring Roll ($3.5/piece) as appetizer. The sauce that coats the filling is slightly spicy, but with all the vegetables inside the spring roll, it atually tastes Ok. We each ordered a fried rice. Taiwan-style Grilled Fish Roe Fried Rice ($10) is not really my favourite. The fried rice itself tastes pretty plain, unless you bite on the fish roe, which has more flavours. Radish Fried Ric

Spend half the day shopping around vivo city and decided to grab a bite bite b4 movie starts. All restaurants and cafes seems to have long Q, thus we decided to join the one with shortest Q. Xi Men Ding is a restaurant which serve Taiwan food. Somehow or rather, it seems over rated and the food here are over priced. Disappointing!!! Blanched pork slices roll with carrots and cucumber sticks. Serve with spicy bean paste.Nothing fantastic as the pork is lean and tasteless. The spicy bean paste do

Enjoying a day out at Vivo when we were attracted to this rather busy restaurant serving Taiwanese food. Ambience: What impressed me was the dining table - beautifully grained wood and comfortable chairs. Set like a modern Chinese tea house.Food: Ordered the maw soup, lots of maw but was unfamiliar with the taste, probably because I prefer the Cantonese style of maw. It had a strong overlay of Asian spices, overwhelming the Chinese taste. Soup were nice and good.

Lunch @ Vivo City's Xi Men Ding (Taiwan Cuisine) with colleagues, place is quite nice to hangout or have a good lunch with colleagues.Taiwan Style Braised Minced Pork with Rice (Generous with Minced pork, it taste really good like minced meat in rice dumplings, $8.50++) MUST TRY!!!Xin Zhu Fried Bee HoOn (Very nice, moist enough, $8.90++) MUST TRY!Taiwan Spicy Braised Beef Noodles (Portion quite big, beef and noodles is nice!, $9.90++) MUST TRY!!Mei Choy Pork Belly Noodles (pork belly was ok, wou

We were looking for a place for dinner after our movie. We found that we had not tried this place and the family decided to try this Taiwanese place.The Stir-Fried Egg Plant with Meat Sauce taste very different from other Chineses Restaurant. It has generous meat sauce cooked in bean paste which you can eat with rice.The dish of Grilled Fish Roe was very artistic arranged. It looks like a tree sitting on top of a hill. The taste of grilled fish roe with sliced leek and raddish take getting used

Me and my cousin went there for a simple dinner, we were attracted by the 2 person meal menu at $38++ per person. Thus we decided to go ahead for it, the food taste not bad overall. One thing was that the portion were very small. I don't suggest this for anyone who is big eater.One thing I extremely like about it is their soup, it taste extremely nice, sweet and there a quite a few ingredients inside, there is fried yam, mushrooms and fish maw.*Request for a table nearer to the entrance, as all

i have fell in love with ximending braised meat rice. ever since i got back from taiwan, i have been missing the taste. My friends brought me to ximending to try the taiwanese food and i was so glad to find the taste back. now i don't have to go to taiwan to eat nice braised meat rice, i can find it easily at XiMenDing!

Xi Men Di is a 'in-thing' Chinese restaurant that sells all kinds of traditional Taiwan cruisines and desserts. This is very popular in Singapore and long queues are expected during lunch and dinner hours and also during public holidays! Tried their lu rou rice and taste really like 'mum's home cooked food'. The 'lu rou' (pork meat) has been marinated with their special sauce that make this rice dish so delicious eventhough looks simple. Do try their desserts as well as they taste quite uniq

There's not much queue so i decided to go for a try. I had their yam paste. As you can see, it is rather watery. I find it is quite dilute to my liking. It is topped with a fair bit of coconut milk. Too little! Overall taste, i didn't like it at all. Pretty disappointed. Service wise was not too bad though.

Ringgggg.......Hearing the name of this restaurant brought back memories of my trip to Taipei with my beloved gF. Promising to serve authentic Taiwan local food, we decide to give this a try.Unfortunately, not the best and closest taste of Taiwan that we had or anticipated, however its still a thumbs up for them on their service attitude and cleanliness.For those who has yet to land their taste bud on authentic Taiwan food, this outlet may be a decent start to it!
