~Invited Session~
Hands up, who has headed to Taiwan just for their street food? I remember prowling the night markets for days consecutively to try the signatures of each but ended up barely scrapping the tip of the iceberg, there is simply too much to eat and as usual too little time.
Town restaurant is delighted to welcome Guest Chef Chia-Mo Chen, the Special Assistant to the President and Professor of Professional Practice at the Department of Chinese Culinary Arts in National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism for a “Tastes of Taiwan” Buffet Dinner promotion June 8 to 17, 2016.
Featured below are the Taiwanese specials available at the buffet on a rotational basis, miss it and it'd be gone for good!
Available but not showcased that day;
Fresh Squid with Five-Spice Sauce
五味鲜鱿
Smoked Cuttlefish
烟熏花枝
Green Bamboo Salad
沙拉绿竹笋
Stewed Beef Shank
香卤牛腱
Taiwanese Fermented Pork
台式红糟肉
Sesame Chicken
麻油鸡
Black Peppercorn Short Ribs
黑胡椒牛仔骨
Deep-fried Squid with Salted Duck Egg
金莎中卷
Sausage with Sticky Rice
大肠包小肠
On top of the existing buffet spread, the dishes showcased included hallmarks of the Taiwanese night market street food scene! Talk about variety and wishing for more stomach space.
One of the many plates that I wolfed down that night.
Fried Rice with Sakura Ebi
Sakura ebi is a famed taiwanese export and these were the icing on the top of the fried rice, great flavour and crunch!
Pumpkin Rice Vermicelli
Who'd have thought pumpkin and rice vermicelli with shrimp would be so tasty?
Taiwanese Fried Chicken
Instead of the humongous portions that their street snacks are sold in, this is alot more manageable in bite sized chunks.
Pineapple Spare Ribs with Orange Sauce
橙汁凤梨骨
Delightfully juicy spare ribs eaten with an orange glaze, it was surprisingly not as sweet as I'd thought!
Moon Shrimp Patties
月亮虾饼
Fried prawn fritters really and these were snapped up as fast as they were replenished.
Three-Cup Chicken
台湾三杯鸡
A speciality that originates from Ningdu in Jiangxi province, the flavour is enhanced by soy sauce, sesame oil and Chinese rice wine makes this a tasty delight paired with rice!
Peking Duck served with Chinese Tortilla, Bean Paste and Scallion
片皮鸭(附皮.酱.葱)
I found the chinese tortilla a tad too thick for comfort, otherwise just request for the peking duck itself.
Barbecue Pork Belly
石板烤卤猪肉
This barbecued pork belly is grilled on a stone plate prior to being sliced and served with bamboo shoots in a bun or eaten as it is. Another of those hot favourite live stations that had a perpetual queue.
Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
台湾牛肉面
Do not miss this hidden live station next to the laksa and pizza stop, indulge in a sweet broth and chunky meats for this taiwanese classic.
Oyster Vermicelli
蚵仔面线
In my last visit, I remember paying Ah Zhong Oyster Vermicelli more than one visit because I was so enamoured by this hearty dish that is made with fresh oysters, pig intestines stewed in soy sauce, black vinegar, special sauce and fresh cilantro! For once, I tucked into innards so readily, Chef Chia-Mo Chen's version is alot kid friendlier with meatballs, prawn fritters and just oysters and the specially imported vermicelli is used so it retains its bite despite being soaked in the starchy broth for long.
Taiwan Mochi
台湾麻糬
More like donuts than the glutinous rice dessert that tourists lug back by the boxes.
Mung Bean Pineapple Soup
Think tau suan with pineapples.
Jiu Fen Taro Ball
九份芋圆
No visit to Taiwan without dropping by Jiufen in Northern Taiwan, this comes with an orange hued sweet soup with hand kneaded yam balls. Do toss in dollops of red beans or green beans for a heartier finish.
I had a go at some of their resident favourites too - no wonder the weighing scales were not lying post meal!
Cheese lobsters are available upon request!
Famous at Town Restaurant is our Hainanese Chicken Rice and also their series of indian curries.
