Recently made way for the new outlet in Queensbay Mall and now the new neighbor for Sakae Sushi that located at 2nd floor on the Central Zone. Guess who is this?? It has also featured in HoChak program in TV8 also.

Yup!! That’s right!
Xian Ding Wei is the new outlet right now that occupying the former Swenson’s unit in Queensbay Mall. It offers all Taiwanese local food like 3-cup chicken, Oyster & Large Intestines Vermicelli, Beef Noodle, etc. You don’t need a passport to travel all the way to Taiwan to savor the authentic Taiwan food, but instead with what Xian Ding Wei offers, that could definitely satisfy your gluttonous instinct.

What’s make known to many people about Taiwan is 3 cup chicken (三杯雞), well at least for me it does. 3 cups is actually the sauce that use for cooking this dish, for example soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and added basil leaf, that’s why it named after it.

Variety of meal sets for customers to choose from. They even offer mini Monk Jump Over Wall (迷你佛跳牆), mini steamboat, and so on.

I’ve been there twice, and still find the food there interesting. But I would have to alert all that it’s rather pricey.

If you like to know further about their menu, do hop to Cariso Delicacies Corner for more detail.

Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐, The Garden

After a long drive from Penang to KL for a short break, our stomach is completely growling for food. After check in to the hotel, we just walked over to The Garden and started to hunt for food.

Before I went over, I actually asked for advices from all the food bloggers for recommendation. And on second thought, I have not been wandering around in The Garden, so, decided to hunt for food down there as well.

By the time we had our lunch it’s already 7minutes to 4, thus, we just wacked whatever is available on the table. Hubby quickly ordered their famous soup dumplings (小籠包), and other finger food in case we got to wait for our food to be served.

When we just sat down, they gave a plate of appetizer. Don’t know what it is, but it’s sourish and appetizing too.

Glancing thru the menu, when you do not know what to have, to play safe is to have something you had tried it before. Thus, I’ve ordered myself a noodles mixed in broad bean (酢醬麵).

Hubby is always adventurous as he is; he had a spicy shrimp wanton noodle ( 紅油抄手(蝦肉)麵), which he finds it appetizing and delicious.

My brother-in-law was having a Strip Pork with Fried Rice (肉絲蛋炒飯), though is simple but according to him, it’s fragrant.

By right with so much finger food we should be able to have bit and pieces and that will be quite filling. Well, we gluttons and greedy, and urged my sis to have another bowl of shrimp wanton noodle (蝦仁餛飩麵).

And you will get to see what we were having for the dinner at night in my next post.

With so much noodles that we have ordered, and due to our stomach growling for food, we ordered other stuff like Shrimp Siew Mai (蝦仁燒賣), Taiwanese Springroll, Steamed Pork Bun (鮮肉大包) and of course something green (菠菜) too.

Taiwan Bull, 台湾公牛

“Beef Noodles – originated from Chinese Tang Dynasty and created by the tribe of Hwei can be traced back to a rich history exceeding centennial. In the year of 1949, it was originally introduced into Taiwan by the expelled Chinese soldiers in order to sooth the feeling of homesickness towards their far-off homeland the consumption of Beef Chunks signifies not merely the satiable filling of stomach but also carries the meaning of remembrance towards their love ones with a mixture of affection. For Taiwanese, Beef Noodles has proven to be a taste of perfection and magnificent flavour and is namely inseparable in the mainstream of Taiwan food culture. Thus, it considered beyond the significant of “Street Snack” simplicity. Throughout the years, the scrumptious culinary & tastefulness of beef noodles has managed to penetrate to the heart of Taiwanese but also aiming to trigger the taste bud of peoples from all over the world.”
The above short and brief history illustrated by Taiwan Bull that located in Lower Ground of Queensbay Mall in Bayan Lepas. In fact, I have not been there, but hubby went there once and thought of taking me there and let me try out their stone rice.

Their specialty is actually Beef Noodle, but due to my religion, I can’t take beef thus I ordered a Stone Rice for myself.
When I see this Stone Rice, it reminds me of Korean drama “Dae Cheung Gum” (大長今). Cuz, it does look like Korean food. Though am not any Taiwan cuisine fan nor any Korean cuisine fan… but this Stone Rice does look like one that I see in Dae Cheung Gum drama.
Ok, apart from that, taste wise, so so… like I said, perhaps am not any big fan of Taiwan food, thus, I don’t know how to appreciate it. But, this is something that I think I should give it a try, right?
Hubby ordered the ordinary noodle, “Tan Tan Noodle”. Comparatively, I prefer 600cc way of making this noodle.

Well, as you all know everyone taste bud is different, thus, food taste is very subjective to everybody’s liking, right?

Needless to say more, do check it out yourself whenever you have the time.
