Not 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 for long. However, the sweat sauce coated on this meat makes it goes along well.
The sweet and vinegar / sour sliced fish is just alright. If we have plain rice to go along with, it will be perfect. Too salty to have this dish alone.
I will prefer the Taiwanese fried rice to other dishes in the set meal. Fried with cut peas, ham and braised meat bits. Even if I were to have this plate of rice as dinner, Im alright with it.
They gave us a bowl of sweet potato porridge, indeed very hokkien/taiwanese style.
I love si gua very much. However , this Gan Bei Si Gua doesnt appeal me much. Si Gua can be softer and i will prefer bits of gan bei instead of shredded.
3 bei tou fu tastes more like tou gan than tou fu. Not my favourite though.
A not very smooth Almond Toufu as our dessert covered with some mango paste. It tastes more like agar agar than toufu.
ServiceI am not impressed by their service.
(1) Firstly, Staff should take the initiative to arrange the dishes instead of customers helping them for every dish.
(2) Secondly, they need customers to highlight to have the desserts to be served. Not only that, when desserts are served, there is no desserts spoon given. They need customer to remind them again. When desserts spoon are served, the other colleague chuckled. Service is unprofessional.
(3) Thirdly, we are having our desserts and they are clearing away the finished dishes. It's quite disturbing.
Ambiene
Not much customers. They have some chinese songs playing in the background which is good.
Pricing
Overprice for mediocre food. They should absorb the 10% service charge!
Tips
We can save money on things like wet tissues and brasised peanuts. Ask them to take away from the table.
