If you frequent heartland malls across Singapore, you’ve likely spotted I love Taimei — a pastel-pink takeaway booth with 16 outlets, serving up a range of Taiwanese street food and beverages. Brace yourselves, Bukit Batok residents… you’ll love this! The local F&B brand has just launched its first-ever dine-in concept, I love Taimei Story, at the basement of West Mall.
Customers can expect the usual crowd-favourite snacks such as Enoki Mushroom (S$4.60) and Taiwan Seafood Tempura (S$5.30). There are also soups like Golden Clam Chicken Soup (S$8.90) and Soul-full Pickled Chilli Chicken Soup (S$8.90) — perfect for warming you up.
With a comfortable seating area to enjoy I Love Taimei’s offerings for a change, is there anything fresh on the menu? You bet!
Start off with light appetisers like the new Braised Beancurd Cubes of Wisdom (S$2.90), Refreshing Pickled Cucumber (S$2.90), Spicy Black Fungus Salad (S$2.90), and Peanut You Can’t Resist (S$2.90).
There are also new Taimei signatures like the Drunken-Free Three Cup Chicken (S$7.90), Boss-Level Garlic Scallion Ginger Chicken (S$7.90), and Numbing Hot Peppercorn Chicken (S$7.90).
Currently, I Love Taimei Story has a Set Meal Deal which includes a main, one choice of staple and one appetiser.
With the Taimei Stars Set (S$10.90, U.P. S$12.70), enjoy either the Taiwan Popcorn Chicken or the scrumptious Original Chicken (with one free flavour), paired with your choice of staple: Just Rice, Scallion Oil Fragrant Rice, or ‘Power Lah’ Braised Chicken Noodles (+S$0.90).
The set also includes a starter — choose from Slow Braised Golden Egg, Taiwanese Pickled Cabbage, or Silky Century Egg Tofu (add S$0.90).
Wow! It looks like the food offerings at West Mall are gradually expanding with the ongoing renovations and new eateries like Gochiya popping up. I can’t wait to see what else is in store.
