Xi Men Jie - Wholesome Taiwanese Meals

 Xi Men Jie - Restaurant Front

I first noticed Xi Men Jie 西门街 in the basement of Westgate, and then again in Funan Mall. A search on Google reveals that Xi Men Jie is actually a chain restaurant with 8 outlets in different parts of Singapore.

Let see how the food at Xi Men Jie compares with WANt Food Taiwanese Delights.

Menu

Xi Men Jie - Menu

The menu offers signature dishes, snacks, cold dishes, soups, wok specials, milk teas, assam black teas and flavored teas.

The Food

Xi Men Jie - Braised Pork Rice

Braised Pork Rice 卤肉饭 is the most classic of Taiwanese cuisine. I find Xi Men Jie’s version a little salty and the pork a little too lean but otherwise still acceptable.

Xi Men Jie - Oyster Mee Sua

Another classic Taiwanese food is Oyster Mee Sua 蚵仔面线. The three pieces of oysters on top of the mee sua are plump and juicy while the mee sua is thick and silky.

Xi Men Jie - Cheese Onion Egg Pancake

Onion pancakes is a popular snack in Taiwan. Xi Men Jie offers a premium version with cheese and egg, Cheese Onion Egg Pancake 芝士葱油蛋饼. There is pork floss inside the egg onion pancake t00, which adds another dimension to the taste and texture.

Xi Men Jie - Salted Egg Crispy Squid Rings

I thought Salted Egg Crispy Squid Rings 咸蛋黄炸花枝 will be coated in tantalizing salted egg sauce, but it’s just fried squid rings with salted egg powder. This is such a disappointment, do not order this.

Xi Men Jie - Sour Plum Sweet Potato Fries

Sour Plum Sweet Potato Fries 酸梅粉地瓜条 is another popular Taiwanese snack. The sweet potato fries are sweet with a crunchy exterior and the sour plum power balances the flavor.

Xi Men Jie - Boba Milk Tea

Xi Men Jie collaborates with Tea Sense to provide milk teas such as this Boba Milk Tea which is not as nice as Tiger Sugar.

Conclusion

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
