  Tried their weekend only breakfast (7-10am). Arrived nearly closing time around 9:45 they happily let us in for Taiwanese brekky feed. Place was half full in nice comfortable environment.Looking through menu (only had Chinese menu when I went) I spotted my Taiwanese favourites. Order arrived fairly quickly and I was soon digging in.Dumplings and intestine noodle tasted average. (3/5) Dumplings chewy thick skin and tad dry fillings weren’t not too impressive. Broth of intestine noodle can be better.Highlight was an egg pancake. It was cooked perfectly with good combination of egg and crepe thin pancake. (5/5) Happy to have option for this breakfast place, I will come back again when I want to have egg pancake in comfortable environment.

  Theres a reason why this place can be busy. Good service and delicious food. They also offer free peanuts for pre meal snacks – unable to stop pecking on it. The dishes were a bit oily for my liking but I suppose thats what made it yummy. We kept staring at neighboring tables and their dishes looks great too! Cant wait to come back to try their weekend breakfast option and other dishes.

  I went here for lunch with all the Asian baby mamas at work, we had originally planned to go to Plum Street but they were shut down to personal issues. It’s in Pinelands shopping centre, so decent parking all around.We all got cheap lunch boxes! They were a surprisingly massive serve of rice, veggies and protein, barring one girl who got noodles. Linda got the braised pork belly with mustard greens, soy braised egg, a weird tofu square, choi sum and rice. She also got some wintermelon tea as well. The pork belly pieces were super long! I normally cut mine up into an inch by inch cube so I was surprised to see these long finger like pieces. They were braised really tenderly, had a nice colour and there was a nice amount of fat. I love braised pork belly fat! The weird tofu square was included in all the meals, it just had an odd texture?I got this deep fried popcorn chicken, soy braised egg, weird tofu square, pickles, choi sum and rice. I got iced lemon tea with my meal. I really like Taiwanese style popcorn chicken since their chicken is so crumbed crunchy with a generous salt and pepper coating and the zing of deep fried basil too! This was quite a lot of chicken so I had trouble finishing it. I had just recently gotten my braces changed so I was struggling with my choi sum so I was enviously watching the seven and eight month old babies around me having no trouble with it. I love soy sauce braised eggs by the way, these ones had no iron ring of doom and the soy sauce had soaked into the egg white quite a bit!Christine got the deep fried chicken cutlet with Taiwanese sausage, soy sauce egg, tofu square, choi sum and rice. She barely got to eat this while it was hot cause her baby was fussy. She said she enjoyed it however.Hanna got the deep fried pork cutlet with funny prawn fried cake? Soy sauce egg as well, choi sum, pickles and rice. I ate her pickles since she doesn’t like them.Lastly Michelle got these braised spicy beef noodles, they were generously saucey with tender pieces of beef, dangerous chunks of chilli, long wheat noodles and more choi sum! She picked out all the chili since she can’t handle this but said she loved this dish and you could tell! Her food came out almost 30 minutes later but she finished eating it faster than I did with my meal! Slurpy, saucy perfection by her reckoning.Pretty good place! I’d happily go back there again for dinner if I could ever get a table. Every time I go to dinner, this place is absolutely packed with tons of families. The food here is generous and cheap, every meal pictured plus a drink was about $12-16! thatseriousgirl.blogspot.com

  Have not been back nearly two years and it is the time to re-visit and prepare an update impression on local Taiwanese cuisine to compare to those that I will try on next week in Taiwan.Remember the Tea-Smoked Duck left me a very good impression so ordered half of it and another Chitterlings & Eggplant hot pot with extra lemon green tea and honey green tea. Service is good and attentive. Smoked duck comes to the table first, which deserves thumb-up. The subtle flavour of smokiness and the tenderness of the meat texture are the way should be, in addition to the accompanied pickles and pepper salt that shape a perfect dish (5/5). Hot pot presents in steaming hot condition, where the chitterlings are tendered and eggplants are tasteful with slightly spiciness (4/5). If there is slightly lesser oil in the hot pot, this review surely will be full mark….. :)Rating is consistent @ 4.5/5Nov 08, 2016 Rating 4.5/5I think I was the first one who brought the deal of Tea-Smoked Duck from Groupon. Arrived early dinner time at 5:30pm and was the first dine-in table. Waitress are all friendly and hospitable. Followed the deal to place orders of Deep-fried Chitterlings and the Tea-smoked Duck plus extra order of Prawns with Mung Bean Vermicelli in Casserole. I love all of them. Skin of Chitterlings were all crispy and it should be the best deep-fried chitterlings that I had in last five years. Tea-smoked duck came in half-duck size which was generous and tasteful with traces of tea-smoke. Duck meat was perfectly tendered. The casserole did give me a surprise with lots of green prawns with shell and traces of satay sauces absorbed by the vermicelli definitely brings the whole dish to next level up. Nearly forget to mention about the drinks that we ordered, which were all huge in size. Overall, the dining experience was decent and this restaurant is highly recommended.
