Menu

Menu

They offered few selection of items; just four shaved ice and five smoothie items. Their menu is catered to tourist, as it comes with English, Chinese, Japanese and even Korean language on it.We wanted to order the Super Mango Snowflake Ice with Panna Cotta. However, the item was not available. In the end, we ordered the Super Fruits Mix Mango Snowflake Ice and Super Mango Snowflake Ice with Sorbet.

 Super Mango Snowflake Ice with Sorbet 180 TWD (S$7.80)

Super Mango Snowflake Ice with Sorbet 180 TWD (S$7.80) consisted of shaved ice with mango syrup, mango chunks and a scoop of mango sorbet.

Super Fruits Mix Mango Snowflake Ice 190 TWD (S$8.30)

Super Fruits Mix Mango Snowflake Ice 190 TWD (S$8.30) consisted of shaved ice with mango syrup, kiwi and strawberries chunks and a scoop of mango sorbet.

The portion was huge. Although there was five of us, we had difficulty finishing these 2 shaved ice. The fruits were fresh. Taste wise, they added a tad too much syrup and it was too sweet.  Though this was not too bad, personally I prefer the shaved ice that I had in South Korea.

Fried Scallion Pancakes 天津葱油饼 (Taiwan, Taipei)

Fried Scallion Pancake (Plain) 25 TWD (S$1)

 After our meal at Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麵, we were walking towards Smoothie House 思慕昔 (Mango Snowflake Ice) when this stall selling Fried Scallion (Spring Onion) Pancakes called 天津葱油饼 caught our attention. 

This stall is located opposite Smoothie House 思慕昔 along Yongkang Street and there was long queue at this stall. It sold a variety of fried scallion pancakes (plain, with egg, ham, cheese, etc). 

Menu

 They sell just 6 varieties of fried scallion pancakes

Look at the amount of scallion pancakes they are frying... and yet there is a long queue. We had to wait about 10 minutes for ours.

These scallion pancakes are made from dough (instead of batter) folded with oil and minced scallions. In a way, it is similar to roti prata which is made from dough. 

Fried Scallion Pancake with Egg and Ham 40 TWD (S$1.75)

The Fried Scallion Pancake (Plain) 25 TWD (S$1) was crisp, fluffy and tasty. As for the Fried Scallion Pancake with Egg and Ham 40 TWD (S$1.75), it was less crispy, but still delicious.

The Fried Scallion Pancakes were simple yet delicious. No wonder there was a queue.

328 Yi Jia Teochew Fish Porridge.Fish Soup 一家潮州魚粥.魚湯 (Tekka Food Centre)

Pomfret Mee Sua $5

328 Yi Jia Teochew Fish Porridge.Fish Soup 一家潮州魚粥.魚湯 is a fish soup stall located in Tekka Hawker Centre / Food Centre.

You may find the name familiar as it has a similar stall in Maxwell Food Centre. 

Menu

As its name suggests, the stall specialises in selling fish soup and porridge. 

They offer a variety of fish such as batang fish and pomfret fish, and prawns with porridge, rice or noodles (e.g. bee hoon and mee sua). 

Batang Fish

The batang fish (also known Spanish Mackeral) is the most popular food fish in Singapore that most fish stall offers. The sliced of batang fish are all deboned.

Pomfret and Fish Roe

They sell the pomfret fish which is popular among teochews. The pomfret they use is likely to be the Chinese Silver Pomfret 斗鲳. Sometimes, the pomfret gets sold out pretty early at around 1230pm. As you can see in the above photo, they also sell fish roe. 

Pomfret Mee Sua $5

This is the Pomfret Mee Sua $5. The freshness of the fish is an essential point. The slices of  fish were smooth and nicely cut with sweet tasting meat. There are several slices with bones though, which not some people will it troublesome and dislike the whole dish. 

Fish (Batang) Soup $4

On another occasion, I ordered the Fish (Batang) Soup $4 with rice of course. Similarly, the fish slices were smooth and fresh.

During both occasion, I thought that the soup was clear but too bland. The essence of the fish was not extracted. This stall offers many condiments including salted beans (a favourite among teochews), shredded ginger, raw garlic and the usual chilli padi with light soy sauce. This is a huge plus point for me as I love adding salted beans into my chilli padi with light soy sauce. This is the way how teochew love to savour their fish (pl do not judge me).  =)

Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麵 (Taiwan, Taipei)

Braised Beef with Noodle in Spicy Broth 红烧牛肉麺

Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麵 opened since 1963 is known to be one of the best beef noodles restaurant in Tapei especially for their Spicy Broth 红烧 variety. Yong Kang Beef Noodles is located at Yong Kang Street 永康牛, a dining destination in Taipei with restaurants, cafes  and carts selling all types of food that cater to all budgets. This is also the place where the original Din Tai Feng restaurant is located at.

We arrived at the restaurant for lunch at around 2 pm as we got lost along the way. Despite the late timing, there was still a queue in front of the stall.

Menu

 This is the menu for tourist with translation of the dishes in different languages.

Wanton with Hot Chilli Sauce 红烧抄手

When we saw that they had the Wanton with Hot Chilli Sauce 红烧抄手, we knew that we just had to order it. As you can see from the photo, the wantons are placed on top of the chilli oil and pepper. It is extremely spicy and addictive! Not for the faint hearted.

Braised Beef with Noodle in Spicy Broth 红烧牛肉麺

This is the signature Braised Beef with Noodle in Spicy Broth 红烧牛肉麺 which is raved to be one of the best. The Australian beef servings are generous and so tender with a melt-in-the-mouth sensation. As for the noodles, they were decent, smooth and chewy. The spicy broth was a winner. It was spicy but so flavourful. No doubt one of the best beef noodles we ate in Taiwan!

Braised Beef with Noodle in Clear Broth 清燉牛肉麺

As for the Braised Beef with Noodle in Clear Broth 清燉牛肉麺, the only difference was that the broth was not spicy. It was still flavourful nevertheless. I prefer the one with spicy broth, this version would be good for those who cannot take spicy food.

This name card shows the location and address of the restaurant. The beef noodles definitely made this trip worthwhile. A must try!
