Review of Taiwanese food( dinner yesterday)

Where we sat
 I've never been to Taiwan but I suspect the ambience in this restaurant must be some attempt to mimic the real thing. We got a good seating. And the girl who served us spoke flawless English. Which made a difference. The menu had nice pictures ( again very important) and the process of ordering was painless. Service was quick we couldn't even do more than two scrabble moves before our food arrived.
Fried rice taiwanese style
10/10 for the fried rice. I would return for this pretty soon. Price wise acceptable.
Dried mustard and pork noodles.
 It looked bland but the subtle taste was ten thumbs up. I want to have this today for dinner AGAIN.
The famous dumplings with soup in it
 Having learnt from a friend how best to have this without the soup content spilling and squirting dangerously out onto your attire....this was a hit with the parents. Best eaten when hot. Upon cooling the consistency becomes a tad hard and the filling gives an oily after taste.
Showing the kiasu-ness of dad who pick one of these lovelies up ASAP

This isn't Taiwanese. ( Moo cow !!!)
Truth or myth; Taiwanese food are doctored with some dodgy preservatives making them dangerous to eat. Regardless we found ourselves seated at this bustling place right at the bottom of The Gardens reading the menu. 5 minutes into the menu-reading the Taiwanese flavour dawns like a slow dull and persistent ache. The person who seated us was so lovely and polite we didnt dare offend by standing up and leaving. So this is the story of out Taiwanese meal. 8/10 Total meal for RM 61 with free-fill of water and chinese tea. We will be returning definitely!
