8 degrees taiwanese bistro is a themed bistro serving Taiwanese street snacks and dishes. The bistro is decorated with a few Jay Chou posters (just as its name was also the song title of Jay Chou's song). We were disappointed that the beach road outlet did not have a live band playing on the 2nd floor (which we read about on its Facebook page) and it only started playing Jay Chou songs (the bistro is known for playing his songs continuously) halfway through our dinner. In terms of food, we were
In terms of food, we were quite pleased with the reasonable price and waiting time for the food to be served. We had the oyster mee sua ($5.80). If you are looking for the exact taste that you get from Shilin Taiwan Street Snacks, I would say that this is quite different. The noodles were slightly thicker and the soup base was equally rich but tasted less salty than what you would get from Shilin. However, the oysters do come in reasonably big size and that is fair value for the price, plus this is a dine-in setting so you get to sit down to enjoy your meal.
We ordered the mango shaved ice with strawberry ($6.80) and the vanilla shaved ice with grass jelly, red beans & sweet potato/yam balls ($7.80). We loved them both. The mango shaved ice is sweet but complemented by the slightly sour strawberry slices. Don't be deceived by the white and bland looking vanilla ice as the ingredients under the shaved ice is quite a mouthful and is definitely yummy too. Taiwanese bubble tea and aiyu jelly tea are also available in the menu.
