Was initially quite looking forward to this Taipei cafe when I heard of the opening in Chinatown Point and was excited to give it a try. As there are near to none taiwan food cafes in Singapore that is nice and authentic or at least near the taste, so I was hoping this one will prove to be the first. But, I was to be greatly disappointed! The food was nowhere like the taiwan counterpart and even worse than other cafes that I tried before.The spring onion pancake was a huge disappointment. It tas
The spring onion pancake was a huge disappointment. It tasted like those frozen roti prata from supermarkets, I am really appalled as to why this can be called a spring onion pancake. It is not even near the taste of the most average spring onion pancake in Taipei. Of course, I know I cannot compare with those that I have eaten in Taipei, for it is always different when these food enter the overseas market, to cater to the local market. But still, it could have been better!
Next up was another major disappointment... oyster omelette with bean sprouts and spring onions, this is the first time I ever seen something like that that calls itself a oyster omelette! Speechless!
The crispy fried chicken chop was so so too, but acceptable. It is just like any normal fried chicken. Till now, I guess I have to lower my expectations for this cafe. If I want to be fussy, this too cannot make it.
Lastly, the dessert Jiufen Taro Ball was worst!! Diluted and with a small amount of ingredients, I can't even taste any taro taste in the dessert! In conclusion, I think only the bubble milk tea passes the test!!
I admit my expectations of my favourite taiwan food is high, but I feel this cafe does not even serve the basic standard of taiwan food. Such substandard "taiwan" food at not that cheap prices...; for those who have ate at this cafe, but have not been to Taiwan before, not to worry... these same food in Taiwan definitely does not taste like this!
