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.
Very complex, tasty, moist and generous braised meat, with a strong sweet flavour. 肥瘦参半的肉燥. Nice bowl.
While this place serves up a mean plate of lu rou fan, its portion would have me think twice about coming back for it. That being said, the snowflake desserts are worth trying.
The environment was rather noisy when some groups came in and I felt that those noises were trapped in the restaurant.
Be prepared for a wide array of beers, bar snacks, appetisers, mains, as well as rice & noodle sets that while on the oily side, are packed with very bold, intense flavours.
The lu rou or braised pork was really really tasty and fragrant, with the braising sauce complex and possessing depth. Very nice match with the rice, making you want more. The cabbage was flavourful, savoury and soft too. Good stuff.
Wouldn't mind eating it again.
I'm not sure how long these guys have been around (1 Queensway #02-47, 9817-4793), but I'm glad that I came across this little Taiwanese luroufan and biandang stall today.
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.
YEAH Taiwanese Modern Street Food is an attractive option for office workers in the one-north area.
