Formosa Delights — Restaurant in Singapore

We've ordered more than twice now from this place (takeaway), and these are my impressions:

Hot food in bad plastic: if you care about plastic packaging touching hot food, note that the plastic packaging that the food comes in seems to be of the cheapest/lowest quality. And you can tell, because some of the lids of the boxes will come deformed. Warped. Looks like from high heat. Perhaps the food goes straight from fryer or pan right into the plastic. Their sweet and sour pork seems to consistently do this.

Fried rice? how about just rice? Forget about their fried rice (we've tried 2 types now). It looks (and tastes) like they just cheapen out on ingredients and barely give you anything. It is all rice, and no flavour as well.

Also, everything seems to be coated in massive amounts of oil.

The one saving dish from them is their deep fried chicken with dried chilli. It's not too bad. And surprise, surprise, it comes in a PAPER BOX, and not one of their cheap...

Firstly the portion of the food is huge. The mala beef noodle can be shared between 2 persons. The spicy chicken can be shared between 2-3 persons. Secondly on the taste, thee spring onion pancakes were awesome. The Lu Rou Fan was average. The La Zhi Ji lacks the punch in terms of spiciness and numbness and you can see that they weren’t cooked/fried thoroughly as some parts lack the seasonings. The mala beef noodle was not too bad though I wished it could be more spicy. What I was a little disappointed with was the consistency and speed of dishes served. It seems like the kitchen cooks similar dishes in batches instead of cooking based on order received. You will see that same dishes will be delivered to multiple tables at the same time. As for our order, the first one Lu Rou Fan came almost immediately after we ordered, the last one which was the mala noodle came 45 minutes after. And unfortunately, most of the food came lukewarm instead...

Word of caution - their serving sizes are HUGE! We ordered 2 mains and 2 sides for 2 pax and we really struggled, haha. The menu is also incredibly extensive with lots of options.

We had the temple noodles with fried chicken set and the fried chicken was crispy and moist, definitely living up to the reputation of Taiwanese fried chicken. The noodles, however, were a letdown as they were clumpy and over cooked. The sauce was delicious though!

The braised meat rice (Lu rou fan) was absolutely spot on comfort food - flavourful and filling. Definitely a must have! But 1 bowl can easily feed 2 pax haha

The dumplings and scallion pancakes were also delightful, especially the scallion pancakes (葱油饼). So so crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. Dipped in the special chilli sauce they served together, this was truly a work of art.
