Zhu Mama Taiwanese Restaurant..

There's a bit of Taiwan fever among my friends at the moment. I've been looking at different sorts of yummylicious taiwanese food photos lately. Well there's one taiwanese shop at Chinatown called Zhu Mama that I went to try out with sissy. We've only ordered for some snacks, so I'm definately going back again to check out on other items.

Sis had the vermicelli soup, it tasted bit different from the ones that I've tried before. Nevertheless, it was really nice, warm and comforting soup to have.

I've also ordered the warm soya bean drink. 

And also xiao long bao. The moment you bite into the bun, the soup inside the bun just flowed out gradually. The skin was fairly thicker than usual. Would have been better if it's thinner and smoother.  Very looking forward to go Taiwan to have a feast! Anyways I'm getting hungry now.

Meet Fresh Taiwanese Dessert House..

There's a new Taiwanese dessert shop in Chinatown, it's called Meet Fresh Taiwanese Dessert House. In fact I went there with few friends when they were having the buy one free one deal. So we've joined the crowd with the long queue outside the shop under the hot sunny weather. Can't wait to enjoy some desserts. 

 A taste of traditional Taiwanese dessert.

 We all ordered the same signature dessert of the shop.

 I'm a huge fan of grass jelly. Love it! The nice cooling Taiwanese dessert.

There's taro balls, sweet potato balls *my guess*, grass jelly, crushed ice with milk. So refreshing and sweet. The chewiness of the taro balls and the softness of the grass jelly, just blended together so well. Yummy bowl of signature dessert, I was able to finish the whole bowl myself. I must go visit Taiwan someday, just for the food.

The booth..

i went to box hill with mum last saturday and tried out the booth, a taiwanese restaurant along station street. we ordered an entree and also a main course to share. for entree we ordered a taiwanese hawker food, with one soft layer of bread, stuffed with stewed pork inside and some vegetable pickles and peanut. it was the highlight. it was so delicious, the flavour and texture was just right on the spot. we also ordered the booth signature noodle soup that comes with fried drumsticks. there were a few kinds of noodles that you can choose from. we ordered the flat noodle, which was something like the 'ban mian' we have in malaysia. the soup was really mild, so when you eat it with the chicken which was more oily, it just balanced out the oily-ness. the chicken drumsticks were fried with bread crumbs, so it had a very crispy texture. awesome!! for the two dishes, we paid for around $15. pretty good price for some authentic taiwanese hawkers food.
