XXXL Fried Chicken Steak And Flaming Beef Cubes From A Food Truck Food at YEAH Taiwanese Modern Street Food If you’re feeling gluttonous, No Mercy ($10.80) will test your meat-eating capacity. Combining four types of meat, this monstrous meal features braised pork, three cups chicken, fried pork chop, fried chicken steak, as well as braised cabbage and egg on a steaming hill of white rice.

Tough meat and unpleasant, chewy fat are all too easy to find in lu rou fan , so we were pleased to discover tender meat and gelatinous fat in this rendition. This typical Taiwanese street food is named for its triumvirate of seasonings: sesame oil, soy sauce, and shaoxing wine.

It was crispy at the edges and tender in the middle, with aromatic five-spice permeating all the way through. Ji pa , or fried chicken cutlet, is an iconic Taiwanese street food, but the strips of fried chicken here were disappointing.

If I were to come again, I’d order the two meat combo instead at $6.80, with fried pork chop and lu rou . Braised cabbage is definitely not the most attractive part of this dish, but it provided much-needed respite from the onslaught of meat, acting as a palate refresher in the midst of our carnivorous ventures.

When the XXXL Chicken Steak ($6.80) came in scissor-cut slices, with a healthy sprinkling of seasoning and a side of nacho cheese, I held high hopes. Juicy meat is a hallmark of Taiwanese chicken cutlets, so this was a let-down.

In general, the strips of chicken were acceptably moist at the edges, but were dry and tough on the inside. Shilin Night Market Is Coming To Singapore This April 2019 Nacho cheese sauce isn’t a natural pairing for fried chicken but it worked decently here.

Flaming Beef Cubes ($10.80) are another ubiquitous Taiwanese street food favourite, but it has only of late gained traction in Singapore, particularly following the opening of Huoyanshaiziniu at Plaza Singapura. Huoyanshaiziniu: We Tried The New Taiwanese Flame-Grilled Beef Cubes At Plaza Singapura We enjoyed the simple, garlicky and peppery seasoning the beef had, which enhanced and enabled its beefy taste to shine.

The beef was inconsistently grilled, with some pieces being tender and medium-well, while others were overcooked, tough, and hard to swallow. The mashed potatoes were a great accompaniment to the beef cubes, soaking up its juices and seasoning.

Brown sugar fresh milk is my go-to order at most bubble tea shops, so I was ecstatic to see Okinawa Brown Sugar Milk ($4.90) gracing the menu. For a food truck, it has a really extensive menu, and I’d love to come down again to try their other dishes like Taiwanese Sausage & Mash ($4.80) and Crabmeat Mee Sua ($8.80).
