I don't usually pick on food as long as the portion is right and the taste is there. But when it comes to Taiwanese dishes/cuisine, I can be very anal and particular on how good or bad it gets.Eat at Taipei claim itself to offer authentic Taiwanese dishes - not.

Eat at Taipei claim itself to offer authentic Taiwanese dishes - not. I lunched there with a heavy heart (because my partner wanted to try) and to me, either you eat the food at Taiwan itself or just buy the usual Shihlin Mee Sua (which somehow pass my will do. Didn't have any high hope for this place and indeed I was right.
As they only have their "hi-tea" menu from 3pm-5pm (if I remembered correctly), we can only choose from what's available during that time slot. A huge let down actually because what I wanted to order was not inclusive in this menu, so we randomly ordered a few dishes to try - Oyster Meesua, Crispy Chicken and Tofu, Yam Ball sweet soup as dessert.
The mee sua is a total failure as it taste like those you can easily buy from supermarket. NOT authentic at all. The sweet soup too, tasted like its been mass spam by sugar syrup. Both the crispy chicken and tofu is somehow acceptable, but then again how can you go wrong by just coating and frying the food?
I think a $3.80 shihlin mee sua is good enough for me if I am craving for taiwanese street food.
