Home where the staff are sullen, the service is non-existent but the food (basically the only reason why anyone visits) is top notch! For realz. These guys serve decent Taiwanese fare. Like, the stuff you'd actually find in Taiwan rather than the bastardized OS flavoured versions that so many restaurants are fond of. Ask my mother, even she approves. And even better, the prices have barely changed in the last bunch of years. During peak hours, getting in can be a nightmare. And they shut promptly at 8PM. But say what you will, they're efficient here. They attempt to expedite the peak-hour rush by forcing you to order before you get in but really, the best stuff is actually sitting in the window, waiting to be selected. They have a bunch of plates in the window displaying their cold dishes. Referred to by the Taiwanese as 'small eats', these dishes can be anything. Pickled, spicy, meat, vegetarian, vegan, mystery, you name it, they've flavoured and it served it up on a plate. Favourites of mine are the pig ears, duck giblets and beans. But if you had to pick from the menu, do yourself a favour and order the deep fried tofu, the pan fried turnip cake, or some of the fried chicken pieces. All this with a side of hot and sour soup and their stewed mince and rice. Yum! And if you must order a drink, their pearl milk tea is damn good! Goodness. I'm going to miss this place again when I'm home!

Specialities are their Eggplant (side dish), Pork Rice, Deep Fried Chicken, Deep Fried Pork and their Red/Black teas. They have several, what I like to call, tuckshops in Hurstville and Market City in Chinatown, and an actual restaurant in Chinatown (Thomas St). Don't expect any services as you'll get close to none. The services you get will seem rushed as they want you to finish and leave so they can "serve" the next batch of hungry souls. The side dishes are also delicacies of Taiwan and be adventurous! Try out different stuff - beef brisket, pork stomach, cuttlefish jelly .... YOLO right?

I do however think it's more worthwhile going down the road to diamond cafe for their fried chicken pieces. It's not one huge slab of meat (actually that would probably make you feel less guilty then) but just so much better. The thing though that really made this a 3 star rating was the fried mushrooms. Avoid avoid! Especially if you've had them in Taiwan. This is not the real deal! I was so disappointed with them. I just ate them for the sake of not wanting to waste food. Probably the worst reason to eat.

For those who have been to Taiwan or even Hong Kong for that matter, you would be familiar with the…read moreroadside stalls/carts that sell takeout bowls of soup with ingredients that you point at and are cooked up in front of you before you're on your way with a steaming personalised hotpot bowl. This has now arrived in Sydney on George Street but in a much more glamorous setting than a roadside cart. Given our rules regarding food safety, the ingredients are kept behind a refrigerated glass counter and you order off a sheet of paper. How do Asian countries manage to keep food at ambient temperatures roadside without 'issues' ? Anyhow, the choice of ingredients is quite staggering from meats, vegetables, balls of various fillings, noodles and tofu. The thing to keep in mind is that the bowl isn't very big so you can't load it all up with too much and the big thing to note is that it all adds up very quickly from a $$ perspective. I ended up paying $14.70 (and I don't think I went overboard with my choices either) which is a very expensive bowl of takeout hotpot with noodles. Something similar in Taiwan probably cost me about $3. The browl was very fragnant and as a I had chose mild spicy level, it had a good kick to it. Ingredients are typical hotpot quality but the big bummer for me was the price!

I would definitely categorize it as comfort food.

But might I suggest the Tomago-s (it's basically a really soft and savory egg omelette with cheese and whatever else you might choose, I usually go with mushroom and cheese, soooo good), the 盐酥鸡 (house special chicken basil), with the 盆栽奶茶 (the plant milk tea, it's basically like Oreo cookie crumbs and milk tea below to create that plant look).

The chicken cutlet was presented well and was fresh and crispy! Customer service was also great!! Will be back soon :)
