xin wang taiwan cafe

watching the pics of the taiwan trip posted by hz makes me super gian to eat taiwan food. so today darling had her last paper! and because of the craving for taiwan food, we finally went to the xin wang taiwan cafe at city hall, which i have always wanted to go ever since its opening.

so we ordered the following:

grilled slice sausage with garlic.
cost 4.80, totally overpriced. sausage only 一条 cut into small pieces, and between each piece giap one small slice of garlic. and the sausage doesnt taste grilled at all. the sausage meat is dry. in taiwan the sausage is hot, yummy, and got the sausage juice oozing out from the sausage the moment u bite it. and cost only 2 sing for one box of many slices of sausage. this grilled sausage in xin wang is a FAILURE. dun order it.


fried-fish paste 天妇罗
cost 5.80, also a bit overpriced, but the taste is really good.


salted pork patty hamburger
cost 3.80, its one of the recommended dishes in the menu, but i think its so-so.


sesame oil chicken mee sua 麻油鸡面线
6.80, the soup is very nice, but the filling is quite small for the price. and the mee sua is a bit too rough. darling prefers the ah zong mian xian type, those sticky stickly gluey type.


ice pearl milk tea 珍珠奶茶
2.80, ok this price is more acceptable, cos the tea is very rich, and the pearls got the 台湾珍珠的味道.


so the verdict is....

*dong cheng dong cheng dong cheng*





not very satisfying. overall grade is B-. boo.


but i do like the ambience of the restaurant, and the menu.


(darling said she look like she nv wear any clothes. hahahahaa. potential model for FHM!)

after the dinner we went to marina square to watch astroboy! its a very nice movie! but its a bit short, only 1 hr 35 min. will be better if the duration of the movie is longer.

and we went to esplanade to 感染艺术的气氛. went to the rooftop terrace and to my astonishment, there is already a restaurant! wah this means that i really very very long nv go to the rooftop terrace. haha.

ok i haven start on my final chemistry assignment. tomorrow i promise i will start!!! :p
