TaiOne Beef Noodle

I've been to Taiwan a number of times when I was younger, but to be honest - I don't remember what the food tastes like!  Was it because I was much younger and didn't care about food yet?  Hahaha!!

Whenever my Panget and I are in GH - it was such a chore to think of a place to eat with the kids.  I have stopped going to Crystal Jade because during my last 2 visits - the dishes we got were poorly made.  I have to be honest - it wasn't the same anymore.  I hope though, that they can improve.

Anyway, so there - looking for a resto in GH is quite a chore for me (sorry!) and then I remembered seeing Tai One.  It was always the place I remember after eating a not so impressive meal in the area.  So when Panget said that we were to go GH - I immediately remembered to mention Tai One.

Tai One is hidden at the back of Promenade.  I guess the location is good IF you come from the back.  Since we always park in Unimart - the location of Tai One was always hidden to us.  But we found it.  Hahaha!! :)



The menu is fairly simple - the restaurant had noodles, pork, seafood, beef, veggies and poultry dishes.  I was very curious on the Beef Noodle because the pictures on the menu looked enticing.  So we ordered a Beef Brisket Noodle so Kailee can enjoy eating the noodles.  I apologize, but I wasn't able to take a picture - I was too hungry and excited!

The soup from the Beef Brisket Noodle was really really really good.  It had the perfect combination of spice and sweet and tartness.  My Panget said that it tasted *Taiwan*.  When we (my Panget and I) would refer to Taiwanese cuisine - we would always associate it with tasting a bit *Chinese* medicine-y.  I don't know why!  Hahaha.. But this one wasn't very strong in the Chinese medicine-y taste - it was just perfect.  The soup packed a punch - and I sipped and sipped and sipped the soup - that my Panget asked me for a bowl (for he feared that I would finish the broth).  Yes, for me it was that good!  Kailee loved the noodles, by the way.  The slices of beef brisket were soft and flavorful too.  I wish they were as big as the slices in the picture (in the menu) though..

We also ordered the following:


The Chicken Nuggets
It was tasty, but reminded me too much of Serenitea's chicken chops. 
Sorry for Connor's hand - he was excited!



Beef Satay Fried Rice
This was really good!  Very flavorful!  I would order this again.



Oyster Omellete
The liked the taste but it lacked oysters since they were very small.
I wish restaurants wouldn't scrimp on the *main* ingredients


Overall, we enjoyed the food.  Service was also good as they were very attentive to our needs.  We would come back to try the other dishes.  I will make sure to order the noodle soup!  Hihi..

Panget declared that if Taiwanese food was this flavorful, we would like to go to and visit Taiwan!

    I've been here twice! The owner is a friend, and the other owner apparently were the parents of a HS batchmate, so I decided to try it out. Not a big fan of noodles, but I liked their beef brisket, and I liked their other Taiwanese food (I had the same opinion of the Chicken Nuggets, reminds me so much of Serenitea!).

    It's basically telling me to go to Taiwan. =))

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
