Experimented some more with Thermomix today and sadly, I have to say that this dish was a failure. First of all, it took too long to cook the beans (which remained half cooked after 4 minutes) and the texture of the rice was too wet. Personally, for me, I prefer Read More ...

Located at Brighton Square, this outlet serves Taiwan dishes and one of their specialty is the noodle with different scales of spiciness.
