I love Taiwanese food so I'm always on the lookout for any new restaurants that have popped up. This place was one of them. Located in one of many industrial buildings in Kwun Tong, this place caught my attention because I saw a photos of Tainan''s fried shrimp rolls. Something I had on Tainan and LOVED a lot.The restaurant was very large and spacious.Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge.

The restaurant was very large and spacious.
Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code which is in Chinese only. They serve many familiar Taiwanese items but there were a few that was not commonly found in Hong Kong's Taiwanese restaurants. The staff are Taiwanese and speak Mandarin only.
We ordered drinks. Boyfriend had the Lemon Wintermelon Tea ($23, on the right) and I had the Passion Fruit Oolong ($25, on the left). Drinks were a bit on the sweet side. But for Taiwanese standards, this is normal amount of sweetness.
Tainan Shrimp Rolls ($32) is why we searched out this place. A recent trip to Tainan, we had these and loved them. The ones here were just as good. The skin was a lot crispier which I liked. The filling was a nice mix of pork and shrimp. Not too oily. The only thing missing was the brown sauce that was found throughout Tainan.
Boyfriend ordered the Beef Tripe, Beef Shank, Beef Tendon Noodles ($88). The soup was a bit spicy but had a rich beef taste. The beef shank was braised so long, it literally melted away. The tendon was soft and gelatinous. The tripe was a heavily marinaded. The noodles were the thick kind and was not overcooked. It came with half a hard boiled egg with a nice soft yolk.
I had the Cuttlefish Seaweed Rice ($75) because not many Taiwanese restaurants in Hong Kong serve this as well. Lots of seaweed and the rice was drizzled with some soy sauce. The cuttlefish was a ball shaped patty. Very firm chunks of cuttlefish mixed with the ground meat. Half a boiled egg was also included.
Food was good and some items not found in most Taiwanese restaurants in Hong Kong. Portions were decent and the service was very nice. Would definitely come back.
