One of the many new hip, casual restaurants on Landale Street. Bistro-style tables, some high chairs – you get the picture.I came for dinner and the place was quite empty (I assume it must be packed for lunch), so no wait time.The menu features mainly fusion-style noodle dishes. I went for the “Taipei” for HDK 78 (plus service), which is “fresh Shanghai la mian with 5-spice slow cooked pork in Taiwanese sauce”.The noodles where good, put I don't think they are hand-pulled (what I would expect fr
I came for dinner and the place was quite empty (I assume it must be packed for lunch), so no wait time.
The menu features mainly fusion-style noodle dishes. I went for the “Taipei” for HDK 78 (plus service), which is “fresh Shanghai la mian with 5-spice slow cooked pork in Taiwanese sauce”.
The noodles where good, put I don't think they are hand-pulled (what I would expect from la mian). The pork wasn't tender enough to be seriously slow cooked, taste however was good. So what is Taiwanese sauce? Turns out its some kind of a dark stock, which was very salty, had a strong taste of 5-spice (maybe that came from the pork) and had some reconstituted dried mushrooms in it. The bowl was topped with some shredded cucumber and coriander, which added some welcoming freshness and crunch.
Overall I found this dish a bit confusing – some elements where good (flavor of the pork, cucumber), some were a bit sloppy in execution (texture of the pork, salt level of the sauce) and the overall combination of the elements wasn't really working.
As I like the “noodle with the twist” idea I made come back to try another one, the “Taipei” however didn't convince me.
Service was fast and efficient.
