Checking out New Lucky Claypot Rice 新鸿运瓦煲饭which was listed in the Michelin guide. The chicken claypot rice was cooked to order, thus there was a long wait.
All in all, I find that the Taiwanese Food was pretty standard and items on the menu were limited. There are many more selections of Taiwanese Eateries out there.
The L'Operetta people have shut down their Icon Village location in Tanjong Pagar, replacing it with a new spot up in Holland Village (23 Lorong Mambong). The menu seems less pizza-centric now, but they still serve a lot of the same dishes, and some of the staff is the same too.

The fish was quite fresh, tasty and creamy. Not bad.
So apparently this is a well-known stall from Holland Close, but I had never heard of them until I came across a pop-up of theirs next to Marina Bay Sands today.
The ten person queue moved really quite leisurely; I got my food only after thirty minutes. The kway was really soft, silky and smooth, coming in a nice sweet savoury braising stock.
The homeliness of the cuisine was felt through the dish. Though the price may be considered pricey, their portion made justice to what we were paying for. It is hardly that we come across a good authentic Italian place like this. I don't mind looking into other items in the menu if I'm back here again.
Monki 台灣小吃部 was previously at Holland Village and they have relocated to The Star Vista. Perhaps due to the restrictions in travelling, the urge and the constant search for Taiwanese Food seem unstoppable.
The Chirashi Don was really of very good Japanese restaurant standard. Everything was very fresh, thick and did not have any of the frozen aftertaste. The swordfish was one of the most creamy I had tasted, and everything else including the prawn and scallop was creamy yet refreshing and firm. Only the tuna had a slightly frozen aftertaste. Really nice.
