SHILIN TAIWAN STREET SNACKS

its just a very small shop and there are a few tables and chairs outside for dining in. most people prefer to take away. can be pretty crowded at times, so be prepared to be patient!


seafood tempura (rm5.50)

and your patience shall be rewarded :)
although the menu is quite limited, 4 choices of food and only 2 drinks (soya bean and mineral water)
the seafood tempura doesn't taste like tempura. but its quite good, nice to chew :P tastes like fish, crab and sotong (to me at least..) don't know what they actually put inside. its abit like eating the chewy keropok lekor, but less fishy. BUT its very oily! and deep fried.


this is the Happy! ricebox set (rm10) consists of nice taiwanese rice, their signature fried chicken (smaller portion) and three pieces of tofu. its really yummy, and the chicken is very good. crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside ^_^ with a hint of spiciness. yummy!! also comes with a free drink (the soyabean)

and this is the handmade oyster mee sua. very famous! and i can see why! its scooped from a big pot and then topped with shredded chicken and some leafy thingy (is it parsley??) and three pieces of juicy oyster. hmm...doesn't look very good but it actually is. the noodles are smooth and silky and the gravy is really delicious. definitely a must try. serving is small, not filling if you're looking for a proper meal.

all in all, this is a great place to grab a bite or when you want a "snack-on-the-go"

will definitely come back to try the crepe!

its so funny how we actually went to the Shilin night market in Taiwan (august last year) and

DID NOT TRY the oyster mee sua and came back to malaysia to eat. LOL. how ironic!
