Feng Food

Feng Food is no stranger to me, I have come across them frequently at local coffeeshops. However, this visit to their full-scale outlet at Woodlands Woodsquare gave me a whole new impression. The mall branch offers a more extensive menu, showcasing a wider variety of Taiwanese classics that go beyond the usual quick bites.

If you’re craving hearty Taiwanese fare, this place hits the mark. From comforting bowls of Lu Rou Fan to crispy fried chicken cutlets and sides like salted egg sweet potato fries, their menu has something for every tastebud. The space is casual yet inviting, ideal for anything from a quick meal to a family gathering.

What makes it even better is their weekday promotion, they offer 15% off your total bill from Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm, excluding weekends and public holidays. It’s a wallet-friendly deal that’s hard to pass up, especially for office workers or nearby residents.

Feng Food has also earned several F&B awards over the years, which adds to their credibility. With no service charge on top of it all, this eatery delivers both value and taste. If you’re looking for affordable Taiwanese cuisine that doesn’t skimp on flavour, this is a great go-to spot in the north.

Dishes & No Service Charge

Kicking off our Taiwanese feast with a refreshing cucumber starter, crunchy bites lifted by a bold, spicy garlic dressing. Simple yet satisfying!

Next up, we had the Taiwanese sausage with garlic, a familiar and comforting dish. True to tradition, it was served with raw garlic slices on the side, offering that unmistakable punch of flavour that complements the sweet, savoury notes of the sausage. The bold pairing may not be for everyone, but it’s a classic combination loved by many.

Something unexpected from the Taiwanese menu, Shrimp & Kimchi Fried Rice. Not your usual pick, but surprisingly well executed. Each grain of pearl rice was evenly coated with the tangy, spicy kick of kimchi, and it came generously topped with plump, juicy prawns and a perfectly done sunny-side-up egg. A satisfying twist that worked beautifully.

Shrimp & Pork Wanton Noodles tossed in fiery chilli oil – silky dumplings packed with juicy filling, springy noodles, and a punchy kick in every bite.

Don’t be fooled by the name, the Brown Sugar Caramel Pearl Milk Tea wasn’t overly sweet at all. It was refreshingly balanced and did a great job cooling things down after all the spice.  A soothing finish to the heat!

Here’s the perfect cooling finish, Taiwanese Leong Aiyu Jelly! Zesty, light, and just what I needed to calm the lingering spice on my tongue.

8 Degree (Jln Besar)

Revisiting 8 Degree for Taiwanese cuisine was a delightful experience, reminding me why it’s a favorite spot. The authentic flavors and creative dishes make it stand out. From my all-time favorite Oyster Mee Sua with its perfect blend of sourness and briny oysters to the surprisingly satisfying Scallion Oil Chicken Rice, each dish exceeded expectations. The latest addition, the Bubble Tea Ramen, offered a bold, unconventional twist, while the Pork Belly Udon delivered hearty comfort.

The menu cover page prominently features their latest addition: the bubble tea ramen. This unique and eye-catching dish combines the chewy texture of ramen noodles with the sweet creaminess of milk tea, offering a fusion that piques curiosity. The playful combination highlights the restaurant's creativity, making it a standout item and inviting customers to try something adventurous and different.

Pairing the mains with these refreshing bubble tea drinks enhances the dining experience. The Wintermelon Lemon offers a sweet yet tangy flavour, providing a light, refreshing contrast to richer dishes. The Jasmine Green Tea with Pearl brings a subtle floral aroma and the chewy texture of pearls, making it a great companion to savoury items. For a classic option, the Milk Tea with Pearl offers a creamy, slightly sweet taste, which pairs well with a variety of mains, especially those with bold, hearty flavours. Each drink adds its own unique twist to the meal, making the combinations exciting and satisfying.

The Scallion Oil Chicken Rice exceeded my expectations, and I actually found their version to be superior compared to other eateries offering Taiwanese cuisine. The chicken was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the aromatic scallion oil that infused the dish with a rich, savoury taste. The simplicity of the ingredients allowed the natural flavours to stand out, and the rice soaked up the delicious oil, making each bite satisfying. It was a delightful surprise and a standout dish among other Taiwanese offerings.

The bubble tea ramen was certainly a revolutionary taste experience, though, to this day, I still can't quite get used to the combination of noodles soaked in milk tea. The fusion of flavours was unusual, and while it felt odd, the overall experience wasn't entirely off-putting. The dish came with a well-fried, golden-brown chicken cutlet, which added a hearty, satisfying element that balanced the oddity of the noodles in tea. The crispy chicken ensured the dish wasn’t too plain despite the strange pairing.

The pork belly udon had a simple yet appealing presentation. A generous scoop of richly braised pork belly sat atop a bundle of thick, chewy udon noodles, adding a touch of indulgence to the dish. To complete it, the dish was garnished with some shredded cucumber, providing a refreshing contrast to the hearty pork belly. The simplicity of the ingredients allowed the flavours of the tender pork and the savoury broth to shine, making it a satisfying and well-balanced meal.

Oyster mee sua is my all-time favorite order for Taiwanese cuisine, and the symphony of flavours always meets my expectations. The dish has a delightful sour kick from the vinegar, perfectly balanced with the natural briny saltiness of the fresh oysters. The silky, thin noodles are immersed in a savoury broth, enhancing the rich taste of the oysters. Every spoonful delivers a satisfying blend of tangy and salty flavours, making it a comforting and flavorful dish I can never resist.

To wrap up the meal on a sweet note, the Lemon Aiyu with Passion Fruit is the perfect dessert. The zesty lemon adds a refreshing tang, while the passion fruit brings a tropical sweetness that complements the delicate, jelly-like texture of the aiyu.

This light and fruity combination provides a satisfying, palate-cleansing finish, balancing the flavours of the preceding dishes and leaving a bright, invigorating aftertaste.

Best of all, it's not too oily.

I almost wanted to give this side a miss when I looked into the menu for I thought its the starchy Omelette we had in Taiwanese. Luckily it was not what I had thought. I was deep-fried in a round pancake shape topped with coriander and drenched in okonomiyaki sauce encasing oysters and lettuce within.

The bowl of Signature Pork Belly Rice is their Best Seller. It has a new improved taste, using premium Taiwanese Soya Sauce. It has a unique homemade flavour complementing the pearl rice with the slow-simmered braised pork.

Another Bestseller on their menu!. Their Red Mee Sua is imported from Taiwan, and served with fresh oysters and braised chitterlings. The stock of the Mee Sua has a subtle taste of Bonito Flavours. The meal was topped with condiments like Coriander and fried onion. Love the fact that the oysters as well as the Chitterling were very clean and freshly prepared.

There is also Chicken Mee Sua on the menu besides Chittering or Oyster Mee Sua.

Oysters

Before leaving a place, let's have a bowl of dessert. The dessert has grass jelly, peanuts, yamballs and red beans. The dessert was not too sweet and not very cold. It will be perfect who those who do not take so much sweet food.

Washing down our food with the Pure Tea Series' Assam Black Tea and QQ Passion Fruit Tea. With a choice of their sugar level, the sweetness definitely tailored to us. Assam Black Tea carried a light tea fragrance and was refreshing while the QQ Passion Fruit Tea has Jelly as well as Pearl, thus the given name of the tea.
