Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snacks Review

E: Welcome to Shih Lin Taiwan Street Food where according to the offical website's description

"... Taipei's Shihlin Night Market is the most famous due to its very wide range of local delicacies in its small streets and alleys. If a snack is nice, you can surely find it in Shihlin!"

They have numerous branches scattered around Malaysia, mostly in emporiums, of for the hip or trendy, Malls. Usually simply decorated and not too flashy, the stalls are centered around the bartop design where customers may dine at the bar table or at small stools centered around small coffeeshop tables conveniently situated near the bar table, all in all, it is a pretty good representation of the street food concept, staying true to its name.  A list of branches could be found here, but for this review's purpose we tried it at Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka.

Oyster Mee Sua

I love oysters. I cant begin to explain how much i like oysters, I once had 8 fresh oysters down my  throat, roughly accumulating RM64 worth of damage. The Mee Sua was pre cut and al dente, the broth thick and creamy, just the way i like it. Edible with a soup spoon, chopsticks are not necessary as the mee sua was pre cut. The chicken strips and coriander adds a nice contrast to the simple yet powerful taste of the oysters and the broth. The oysters itself, fresh and juicy, exploding in your mouth on bite.

Happy Rice Box

There is a reason why this is called the Happy Rice Box, Cold Sliced Tofu, Cold Diced Century Eggs covered in fresh spring onions, Chopped Spicy Crispy XXL Chicken Chop over a decent serving of pearl (sushi) grain rice, topped with sweet and soy sauce makes E a happy boy. As a fan of cold meals i found this set especially satisfying, I even imitate this recipe at home when I get the time. All this accompanied with a bottle of Vsoy soy milk. Vsoy means really thick and strong for the uninitiated,thick, white, and creamy, just the way its supposed to be. It trully is the King of soy milks.
