Shih Lin Taiwanese Snacks

After a long day of walking and shopping, you just want to plonk your self on a bench somewhere and have a light snack. Something not too heavy and neat enough to share with your shopping buddy. And the perfect option is Shih Lin's Taiwanese street snack.

You've got to try the Oyster Mee Sua. There is this tinge of sour yet rich taste in the soup. Good to the last drop. The noodle is just tender and the chicken meat is shredded so fine that its perfect for digestion. I never liked mee sua as I always associated it to being sick (my mum forced me to eat mee sua when ever I had fever when I was young, and though I recovered, I had to continue on mee sua diet for a week or so). But this dish ....its tasty. Only RM 6 a bowl ... with oysters in it too! It gives me the sensation of having Sharks fin soup (though you should NEVER eat Shark's fin soup. Say NO to it)

I'm a fan of pasar malam food. And for those of you who knows Uncle Bob's fried chicken .... I'll queue for hours for it. They serve it here too .... but Shih Lin's version is crunchier on the outside and more tender in the insides. The is actually lots of meat in the fillet ... and making every bite worth your money. Now, they are having a Lunch Box for only RM 10. A plate of rice with special sweet sauce topping, their very own Crispy Fried Chicken and tofu with oyster sauce. This combo comes with a bottle of soya milk as well ....

Well, my hands were itchy and I did have some Tempura seafood. See those thingy-ies on top of the chicken, well I added them on myself. Its chewy and full of flavor. Definitely worth getting a bag and muching away as you browse your favourite shopping alley.
