WG Jelly Ai Yu

One of our friend was back at work and wanted to eat lunch at Taipei Taipei at 3 Damansara Shopping Mall since we went without her the previous time. So we revisited it and I would need to think hard again of what to eat since I don't want to eat rice and noodles. 

This friend ordered Soy Stewed Pork with Rice at MYR 16.9+ (6% SST = MYR 17.91 nett) despite me pointing it out to her that this is pork belly since I know that she does not eat the fatty parts. She said it is ok she would just remove those parts which she did painstakingly. She removed the skins and all the fatty layers leaving only very little lean meat but she was satisfied with her choice. There is a piece of dried pork skin (like those served with chee cheong fun) in her bowl which she gave to me.

The two friends who shared a main meal previously now ordered one main dish each. Dried Braised Pork Noodle with Pork Chop at MYR16.90+ (MYR 17.91 nett). She gave us each a small piece of pork chop as she could not finish eating such a big piece by herself. This time none of them top up to turn their main dish into sets. For certain ala carte main dishes, they include a small bowl of napa cabbage, half a braised egg and a small piece of braised tofu.

Mama Fu Spicy Hsinchu Fried Rice Noodle at MYR16.90+ (MYR 17.91 nett). It was very spicy according to my friend and she told me that I would like the texture because it was soft but I did not try any since it was spicy. My friend struggled to finish it since it was a big portion and in the end she gave up and left some behind.

Since I was at a loss on what to order, I just ordered  from the snack section - Braised Egg+Braised Tofu at MYR 5+ (MYR 5.30 nett) and was disappointed that I was just given one small piece of braised tofu. Fortunately my friend gave me her small piece of tofu since she does not like to eat tofu.

I also ordered a glass of Jelly Ai Yu Aloe Lemon at MYR 12.90+ (MYR 13.67) making the total price for my lunch: MYR 18.97 nett. I like the soft Jelly Ai Yu which is not sweet. The aloe vera cubes are sweet though but the lemon drink is sourish so this drink is very refreshing. There is still one more friend in our lunch group who has not been to this eatery yet so for the next time I have decided to order a bacon and cheese egg roll.

There are 5 types of Jelly Ai Yu drink.

F14 wasn't such a good choice since the tofu is not a full piece as shown in the photo above.

Total price for 4 pax is MYR 72.70 nett, Average cost per pax is MYR 18.17 nett.

    1. This fat is supposed to be better than trans fat so you are right to swallow the whole piece! :)

  3. I loved that Taiwanese pork belly rice with preserved vegetables by the side. We used to have a really good one here but not anymore.
