As a North-Eastie, I haven’t found much of my time to explore the Buona Vista area which seems to be one of the latest place-to-go-to. Lucky me, Openrice Singapore has extended an invitation to me, to join them at Lee’s Taiwanese, a newly opened Taiwanese Restaurant at Star Vista.Located at the top level of the mall, it has both outside and inside seating. I love how Taiwan-like the place was with the map of Taiwan and the red lanterns that adorn the ceilings. The owner, Fiona who joined us for
As a North-Eastie, I haven’t found much of my time to explore the Buona Vista area which seems to be one of the latest place-to-go-to. Lucky me, Openrice Singapore has extended an invitation to me, to join them at Lee’s Taiwanese, a newly opened Taiwanese Restaurant at Star Vista.
Located at the top level of the mall, it has both outside and inside seating. I love how Taiwan-like the place was with the map of Taiwan and the red lanterns that adorn the ceilings. The owner, Fiona who joined us for the meal later told us that the concept of the cafe was based off the night markets in Taiwan. I definitely did feel like I was in the middle of Raohe night market!
Beef Noodle soup is something I would recommend as comfort food for cold rainy days. With handmade noodles made from their central kitchen, it was perfected from years of R&D by Fiona the owner herself! It is chewy and matched with the beef broth, I have yet to find something that could match up with this dish.
An ideal side dish to order for sharing, the well battered meat were fried still crispy and served with a slight bit of garnishing. I personally prefer the pork version as it is less dry than the chicken.
The braised rice have to be my favorite dish that night! With the signature Japanese pearl rice and savory braised meat and sauce topping it, it was the closest I had to the actual bowl from Taiwan. A definite must try if you are there. What I like is that addition of other toppings like eggs, veggies etc that makes it a proper meal. In Taiwan, there is usually only rice and meat toppings, which doesn’t fill you up!For more photo and dish recommendations from Lee's Taiwanese, head over to Round Tum Tums!
