International Mall Food Court — Restaurant in Westmont

A gem in the suburb! But one does need to have a right frame of mind when coming here. It is about food, not ambience, service, efficiency, etc. Once you get pass the lackluster surrounding, you are going to enjoy what this place has to offer, and boy oh boy are the food and choices going to satisfy you!

In particular, Chinese Cafe is the star of this mall and the weekend menu that is the crowd drawer, one of the limited places to find Taiwanese breakfast! We came in at Saturday noon and queued for half an hour. After making our orders, the food came our quick, about 7 minutes wait. After half an hour's queue, we definitely went all out and ordered almost everything we could! Totally stuffed, overate but totally satisfied!

The You Tiao (deep fried crullers) was amazing! Puffy, crispy, soft on the inside, deep flavors, and a huge one. But don't try to share this. Big though it is, you wanna have one to yourself! People come for this and leave with a few plastic bags full of it!

The Chive Box is another delicious item on their menu. The exterior dumpling like skin is pan fried, soft and crispy. The interior is chives with glass noodles. A light and delicious item!

The stinky tofu is unfortunately not stinky at all. But it is really delicious. The sauce and the veggies on top really stands out, giving layers of taste to the tofu. A refreshing dish!

The salted chicken is not a breakfast item but this is a star in Taiwanese cuisine. Pity it is not as authentic in the sense that it should be dry and not topped with sauce, the way I like it, However, it did not dampen the taste and experience of this dish. The flavors were there, with a kick of salt and pepper on the chicken.

The salted soy bean milk was interesting. I never had it before and it tasted kinda like a soup more than soya milk. It has you tiao inside with egg as well.

The beef flapjack was the disappointment of the meal. The flapjack is just not made well, it is dry and hard. There's not much to remember about the beef, it was bland.

Chinese cafe has a $7.25 lunch deal which is a great deal. It comes with a delicious crispy fried egg roll and a drink. Included is a soy milk.

Chengdu Eatery is another fine restaurant here, wielding the taste of Northern China, with Sichuan pepper as the focal point of the flavors. This is not a cuisine for everyone as it has a deep spice kick and numbs your tastebuds. For those that enjoys a kick, its aromatic and...

We used to go to here all the time during the weekend before pandemic for their bread sticks, soy milk, beef noodle soup, dumplings, chive bao and their sticky rice often. And I mean often like twice a month at least! The taste was fantastic back then about 5 years ago but it is not the same anymore. Soy milk was ridiculously sweet and the noodles was soggy and beef was super tough. And the price. Holy moly it is expensive!!! 6 dumplings for $6! Wowza! And it wasn't even good. 5 years ago I probably would have given this place 5 stars but now....I don't think I will go unless I want some bread sticks which only serves on the weekend. The sad part is...we spent $30 on what you see with 1 bowl of spicy beef noodle soup, 1 bread stick, 2 soy milk, 1 chive bao and 1 order of (6) dumplings and I was still starving. Went home and made myself a ramen. If you like bread sticks with soy milk but willing to pay $30 for it then definitely try them out. It is delicious on your taste buds but not friendly on...

I went to the new opened Europ 22 grill place at the International plaza ,not sure where to look for it but then I entered The International mall which is like a small food court. The grill bar was new and everything was just sparkling clean ,the employees were nice and friendly, but the food was just excellent. I ordered 2 portions of cevapi (beef links) and 2 of gurmanska pleskavica which us like a huge gourmet burger. Everything came with generous portion of french fries that they fry at the time of order ,fresh cut tomatoes and onions ,spring salad ,kajmak and lepinja . And that is just equal for enough food for 8 people . I highly recommend it .It was also prepared...
