Wenshan District, Taipei City｜呷麵飯館

Was introduced here by a friend based here. Had a sumptuous and affordable Taiwanese-Malaysian/Singaporean spread during dinner. This place is common eating spot for students of the university nearby, but as I visited during the semester break, lesser customers were around. Free-flow red tea is served here! The Lion Head (獅子頭) was deliciously tender and seasoned well, and importantly, of the appropriate size (you’ll be surprised of how small many other stores sell). Highly recommend this. Additionally, I had their Hainanese Chicken (海南雞腿) which is on par if not better than the good ones you can find in Singapore/Malaysia (the birthplace of this dish) - juicy and tender with a rich ginger-scallion broth. Although the sauce served with the chicken is non-traditional and more of a chilli-lime Thai-style dressing, I found it surprisingly refreshing and complementary to the meat. Highly recommend this as well. The cooks were very welcoming and friendly, where we had an enriching chat on Taiwanese culture after the meal. All in all, I recommend this place for some good and affordable local-Malaysian/Singaporean fusion food!

Excellent food - the dongpo pork is amazing - and absolutely lovely people!! Highly recommend it
