Old Street Taiwanese Delicacies (台湾老街) at 8 Row is non new... in all probability opened for trouble organisation inwards Penang for to a greater extent than than v years but recently, they came out alongside a novel trouble organisation strategy- to convert the house into a Vegetarian restaurant. The interior decor has non changed much since then; the menu; however, has roughly novel items added inwards which roughly of the delicacies are non unremarkably seen inwards Penang.
One of their signature dishes- Vegetarian Gua Bao (Rm 8.80) is a rare scene hither inwards Penang. Served to us warm, the cotton-light bun was fluffy; sandwiching a Mock Patty (bean-curd slice), Chinese preserved Mustard Greens, Fried Egg too sprinkles of crushed Peanuts. The mock Patty barely registered whatever flavour or rather, the Chinese preserved Mustard Greens/ Mui Choy outshined the edible bean curd. Generally okay but I was non quite thrilled alongside the sense of savor too I idea it mightiness hold upwards a petty overpriced for that portion.
We were inwards search for a dish alongside an appetizing tease too so, nosotros had Hot too Spicy Vermicelli Noodles alongside Mock Fish (Rm 8.80). The seemingly bland clear broth surprised us alongside its avalanche of flavors. Our palate was struck alongside a jolting sourness followed yesteryear a gentle chili kick. The bowl was loaded alongside aplenty ingredients- Egg Tofu, Cabbage, Deep Fried Mock Fish, Tomatoes etc. The Deep Fried Mock Fish was veering towards the salty side but it provides a crisp-crunch to the dish. The Egg Tofu was every bit delicious- silky smoothen alongside an eggy aroma. The component subdivision may hold upwards a petty pocket-sized though.
