Have been longing to visit 5 Little Bears since forever! Came here for lunch with my friends after collecting my OpenRice Hungry Games' prizes! Although I've never been to Taiwan, their interior has made me feel like I'm at some street cafés along some typical Taiwan streets. Their fried chicken at their order stations looked so tempting but I didn't order it because my throat wasn't feeling that well, definitely would try during my 2nd visit though! So I've gotten the Taiwan Soup Noodles Set ($
Although I've never been to Taiwan, their interior has made me feel like I'm at some street cafés along some typical Taiwan streets.
Their fried chicken at their order stations looked so tempting but I didn't order it because my throat wasn't feeling that well, definitely would try during my 2nd visit though!
So I've gotten the Taiwan Soup Noodles Set ($5.50) which comes with a drink, you can choose between red tea, green tea or winter melon tea. This bowl reminds me of the Singapore style prawn noodles, except that it's topped with minced pork and braised egg. The portion is reasonably generous. The soup was fine but possibly a tad bit salty, the noodle and egg was alright. There's no wow factor anywhere but I call experiences like this "I should have ordered something else to try."
I have also gotten the Eight Treasures Ice ($6) which looks fantastic with the generous amount of eight different toppings (pearls, red bean, green bean, grass jelly, taro jelly, sweet potato jelly, barley and peanuts). All the ingredients were great! But the reasons I couldn't finish it was not because of the portion, but rather the tiring chewing and the overall combination. I'm not too sure whether this is authentic but it can be improved by giving us the option of adding milk or other syrups, as well as the option of $2/$4/$6 in terms of portion.
Despite some disappointments, I hardly give up on a dining place entirely because I always try to believe that I might have just ordered the wrong items. Besides, everything are pretty affordable too. Therefore I would most likely return to try out other items, especially the fried chicken!
