Food; Tamchiak Chrispy Chicken (Ori): Rating: 4.5/5 - Meat is tender and tasty, size is good enough for an adult.

Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Set: Rating: 3.5/5 - A taste of Taiwan authentic texture of braised pork which melts in your mouth, lack the sweetness of gravy. Soup not hot enough, slightly over peppered.

Taiwanese Minced Pork Noodles: Rating: 3.5/5 - taste good, noodle slight soggy, maybe just my personal preference needed the noodle to have some Q to it.

Crispy Chicken Rice: Rating: 4/5 - taste good, portion is large, daughters could not finish the plate!

Taiwan Flaky Scallion pancake with Ham & Eggs: Rating: 4.5/5 - light touch and overall it is balance, one is never enough…

Drinks Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea with Cream Mousse: Rating: 4.5/5 - taste so much better then those franchise boba tea, wish they could make the portion large, top up size option.

Lychee Lemonade: Rating: 4/5 - very refreshing, slightly over sweetened, will ask for less sugar next round.

Hor Ka Sai: Rating: 3.5/5 - normal as per the price pay for, no comment further.

Conclusion: A place which I will revisit for lunch or dinner, a must try item “Flaky Onion Pancake”. Overall a good meal I have…. Hope they improve and bring more local Taiwan’s taste...
