Taipei Taipei @ Subang Avenue

We were all looking for a venue for a friend's birthday dinner cum New Year Eve dinner and finally we decided on this new place called Taipei Taipei. It's located at Subang Avenue next to Subang Parade. The place states that it's a modern cuisine cum tea house cum music lounge. This is not your usual Taiwan cuisine place like Fong Lye or Formosa but rather a bit more modern Western cross over with our Eastern cuisine. They served liquor at the bar down stairs too if you wanted to start the night off with some light refreshments.

Since it's New Year Eve, they only served set menu that night. And since we are expecting 9 pax that night, we ordered two sets of 4 pax menu. The menu come with unlimited steamed rice with one single glass of refreshment. We are a bit disappointed that they do not have a big round table to serve a large crowd since a long table is not suitable for a gathering in terms of chatting and passing the food around.

First on the table would be the 4 variates appetizer. 

This dish isn't that bad since it's sour, it's good for waking up our taste bud. 

Surprisingly all of us like this dish the most. I think that is sliced fried tofu. Most of the dishes are sour and spicy which is good to start the night off.

Nothing special bout this dish. Just your normal glass noodle with chillies. 

This isn't that bad if you like cucumber. For someone who doesn't like cucumber, I do agreed with the others.

They only served three types of teas that night, red tea, peach and lemon sprite type. My favorite would be the red and peach tea. 

Stewed pork, a bit too fattening even for me. Not much meat and taste is normal. Nothing special.

Damn, this dish is so RED. Most of us didn't taste much of it cause it's too oily. But I do like it since I don't really care of that as long as it's good. Not that spicy though. 

This is the only vegetables of the night. Again, not many like green beans. Me? I totally love this simply yet good dish. I am not sure about others, but I really like green beans. This dish, I like. 

Not sure why the appetizer came so late in between the mains. Not bad, but do take note to eat them when it's served or it will be very cold and hard. The dipping in the middle is sweet like honey so it goes well with the pan cake. 

A Taiwan cuisine wouldn't be complete without this clay pot 3 wine chicken. Isn't the best San Peh Chicken but still alright. A simple decent pot of chicken.

Last but not least would be the 3 flavor fish. The fish is steamed and as you can see they added lemon on it. So the taste would be spicy, sour and sweet all together. Fish is fresh but again not my dish of the night. Not the best fish I had but just your average steamed fish. 

Overall, the dinner was just alright but we did paid a lot for the dinner that night cause it's a set menu. Maybe a bit too much too. Isn't the best Taiwan dish we had or even Chinese cooked food. The only plus point of the night would be the decoration maybe. They do have a lounge upstairs which we continued later on for the countdown. Also a bit expensive and the environment seemed a bit quiet too. Not going into the details of the night over there since this is a food blog. Their normal price for a 4-5 pax menu is RM129 but that night, we paid almost double for that.
