Although I've never been to Taiwan before, I always have a thing for Taiwan food, especially their local street snacks! Eat at Taipei is able to settle my cravings issues! The restaurant is located right next to the ice-skating rink at JCube and it's a lovely place to chill with some friends and relax. I've been looking out for places that sell coffin toast in Singapore and this is the main reason why I've visited this place! So I've gotten the Tainan Coffin Toast ($9.90) which is their signatur
I've been looking out for places that sell coffin toast in Singapore and this is the main reason why I've visited this place! So I've gotten the Tainan Coffin Toast ($9.90) which is their signature dish. The bread is first cut and hollowed then fried, then filled with really savoury fillings of seafood chowder alike. The consistency of the filling was creamy and yummy but it could be improved with more flavours. The bread was perfect and not too oily for my liking. The Milk Tea ($3.50) was awesome! The pearls are really chewy and the blend was of a good ratio.
My buddy who went along with me ordered the Oyster Omelette ($8.50), which is quite expensive compared to what we can get at local hawker stalls or food courts. Because of the price, we were expecting something more but it turned out a disappointment. It tasted fishy and very corn-starchy and also a little way too greasy. Definitely not something I'd recommend.
Brushing disappointments aside, I went ahead and placed a dessert order. I've gotten the Passion Fruit Shaved Ice ($7.90). I've had many shaved ice desserts around the country and never had anything like this for a long while! The shaved ice was smoothly presented with colorful cheerful syrups and passion fruits mixed. The caviar-like pearls that came with it really gave some good exciting burst of flavours. A must try! I would even pay a few more dollars for this.
The restaurant also offers other variety of popular Taiwanese snack offerings including bentos and soups and more. They have a really nice website too. Overall, I would definitely return again to try out more!
