Taipei: Ay-Chung Mian Xian 阿宗面线 (Ah Chung Mian Xian/Mee Sua)

Taipei // Ay-Chung Mian Xian 阿宗面线 (Ah Chung Mian Xian/Mee Sua) – Throwing back and continue on where I’ve stop on my Taiwan trip last year. I just remembered that I did not finish my Taiwan trip post for last year because of all sort of laziness and uni project. Whatever it is, let’s go back to Taiwan in pictures.

One of the must-try food in Taipei is this Ay-Chung Mian Xian located at Ximending. In a very simple explanation, Mian Xian or Mee Sua literally means rice-flour noodle and Ay Chung, is of course the person, Ah Chung, the brand, the kickstarter, the boss, the whatever. Instead of oyster mee sua that you can normally find in Malaysia’s Shihlin Taiwanese Street Snack, Ah Chung serves it with large intestines and the best, it doesn’t smells bad. Don’t worry that you will not find any disgusting things in it.

Fusing 3 of the condiments available – chilli sauce, garlic & vinegar, it gives you a burst in the mouth, not spicy but delicious. A bowl costs NT$45 (about RM4.96) and I would say it’s reasonable me. Good breakfast for me back then, but the real thing is, I prefer mian xian with oyster instead of intestine. Yeah.

Penang: Kampai 9.9 Taiwanese ‘Zhu Char’, E-Gate

Penang: Kampai 9.9 Taiwanese ‘Zhu Char’, E-Gate – Despite being tensed with the General Election 2013, while waiting for the result to be announced later, I think I shall write some food post to release some tension. =D Let’s head to Penang, for food!

So this place that I visited last weekend was Kampai, located at E-Gate, the place used to be Tao Japanese Cuisine. It’s quite a surprised to see the once very famous Tao is gone and replaced by Kampai. Later then, I just realised that Kampai is from the same person who runs Tao! That’s why.

Kampai is actually a Chinese restaurant, just like ‘zhu char’ (dai chao) restaurant but in a up-scale environment and atmosphere and selling mainly Taiwanese dishes, starting from RM9,9/dish. It’s quite interesting trying Taiwanese-style of ‘zhu char’ because all the while, Taiwanese food is just beef noodle, 3 cups noodle and deep fried chicken.

Fried Bittergourd with Salted Egg

Pork slices with garlic sauce together with toufu under the pork slices.

Sweet and sour pork which was rather hard to chew.

Ma Po Toufu which is quite standard, nothing fancy.

Well, actually the taste is quite good in my opinion, but my brother commented that it’s quite standard, taste like what he had in Singapore. The fried bittergourd with salted egg was good, the pork slices with garlic was good, but the sweet and sour pork andma po toufu was just not fancy enough. But after all, I kinda enjoyed my lunch at there.

Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang – On my recent visit to Malacca, I have found a nice eatery outlet and that is this Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle shop at Jalan Bachang. It was introduced by a local Malaccan friend and he brought us here to try out. Malacca is always famous for Chicken Rice, Laksa, Cendol but this is something new to me.

Although it’s new to me, it has more than 30 years of history in Malacca and serves Taiwanese style beef noodle, pork rib noodle, and more of Taiwanese-style noodle. It’s something very special. Normally we only get to eat them in Taiwanese restaurant, but this one is located in a local-style kopitiam (coffee shop).

It’s famous for Beef Noodle, you can choose either soup base, or dry base. Since it’s famous, I’ve ordered a dry one and it looks and tastes good! I’ve never been to Taiwan but I’ve been to a lot Taiwanese restaurant, I’ve got to say that this one is better. It’s spicy, the beef is soft and tender, and the thick flat noodle is very springy. Yums. Best of all, it’s only RM4.50, so much cheaper than those in Taiwanese restaurant in the mall.

Ignore the food presentation, it might not looks good, but it’s nice.

Pork rib noodle @ RM4.20. A little soup with a few pieces of grilled pork rib. This one is not a spicy, the soup tasted a bit sweet and salty. Nice too.

Zhajiangmian 炸酱面 @ RM4.20. Fried minced meat sauce noodles, didn’t try this, so I can’t comment on this.

Little Min tagged along with us, she’s my friend, Jia Hui’s cousin. Cute right? Very talkative.

Well, the lunch was simply awesome, but the portion seems to be a little. You can order some side dish like beef soup, pork ribs and more to eat along. If there’s a chance, I wanna come back for it again.

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL – Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken is very famous in Taiwan where many people queue for the large fried chicken fillet. Now it has come to Malaysia and there’s two outlet, one at SS15 and another at the basement of Pavilion shopping mall. I always very tempted to try it out, curious that why is it so popular in Taiwan and last week, I bought myself a piece of original large fried chicken.

This kinda of large fried chicken is a street snack origin from Taiwan. You can normally find them in pasar malam in Malaysia and it’s not healthy because of the deep fried cooking method. Haha.

It costs RM7.90 for a piece of Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken, RM1 – RM2 more than those typical large fried chicken at pasar malam. You can also ask for the level of spiciness. I ordered a mid-spicy level one. What’s so special about it is it’s really very huge, they guarantee the fried chicken fillet is 30cm long and seriously, it’s that big. First few bites is pretty good, but after that I felt I have enough of it, it’s too big and I felt full after eating half of it. Hahaha. One thing, it takes a while for your fried chicken to be ready as they fried upon your order. You get a drinks with the set @ RM9.65 (only ice lemon tea available).

If there’s a chance, I’m gonna try the original one in Taiwan Shihlin. Anyway, I prefer KFC more than this one. How about you?

Chatime Bubble Tea & 102 Chinese Cuisine At Bellisa Row
Chatime Bubble Tea & 102 Chinese Cuisine At Bellisa Row – Chatime is now one of the famous Taiwanese bubble tea brand in Penang and drinking out at Chatime’s is now a trend. More and more people is hanging out at Chatime instead of Starbucks, Coffee Bean.

In Penang, there’s a new Chatime just open recently at Bellisa Row, Pulau Tikus which now Penang has a total of 4 Chatime outlets – Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall, 1st Avenue as well as Bellisa Row.

Located on Bellisa Row shoplots, the Chatime outlet was actually a Chinese restaurant – Dragon 9ine Restaurant which has closed down and change to offer Chatime bubble tea and 102 Taiwanese Cuisine.

It might be one of the coolest Chatime outlet in Penang as you can not only drink Chatime bubble tea beverage, but you can eat Taiwanese cuisine at the same time. The outlet is divided into two F&B outlet, but then they are link together in between, but different unit. One more thing, free wifi is available too!

The 102 Restaurant offers Chinese food as well as Taiwanese cuisine in their menu, snacks and finger food. It’s a good combination and add-on for Chatime bubble tea.

I didn’t really had my dinner meal there, instead I ordered the Taiwanese sausage as a snack to eat and at the same time enjoy Chatime bubble tea.

My favourite Chatime’s beverage are:
- Roasted Milk Tea + Pearl
- Lychee Yakult Jelly QQ + Pearl
- Jasmine Green Tea Mousse + Pearl
- Macha Tea Mousse + Pearl
How about yours?

Set Lunch At 600CC Taiwanese Restaurant

600CC is a Taiwanese Restaurant that is based in Penang which currently have 5 outlet, Gurney Plaza, Prangin Mall, Tesco Penang, Sunway Carnival Mall and Pacific Megamall.

Recently, I went to 600CC for lunch and found out they have set lunch menu, so I went to try out their dishes. I am not really a frequent visitor to 600CC because of I a little bit dislike paying 16% taxes, which result in a more expensive meal. Because of set lunch menu, it’s better than ordering a la carte.

Set lunch consists of a milk tea with grass jelly and a main dish which starts from RM9.90.

Mom ordered a Zha Jiang Mian 杂酱面 (Mixed Sauce Noodle with Minced Meat) – RM10.90. It tasted sweet and the noodle was springy enough, thought what’s weird was having cucumber in the dish. Some like it, some might not, I’ll say OKOK only.

As for me, I ordered a beef noodle (台湾牛肉面) – RM12.90. The soup was good and the noodle is actually same as the one used in the Zha Jiang Mian. I like they put crunchy salted vegetable in it which is kinda nice, in fact I was biting on the salted vegetable more than on the beef meat. Beef meat was soft. It’s really awesome eating a beef noodle for lunch, I felt it may not be the best, but it’s good to eat.
