Fung Taiwanese (丰.台湾私房菜), a restaurant chain, specialises in authentic flavours of Taiwan and serving them in casual dining environments. The brand has three outlets in Johor Bahru, residing in KSL City Mall, Toppen Shopping Centre and Sutera Mall.
At the Toppen Shopping Centre outlet, the names of well-known, popular Taiwanese dishes hang at the food preparation counter. The dishes are oyster mee sua (蚵仔面线), red-oil dumplings (红油抄手), egg fried rice (蛋炒饭), beef noodle (牛肉面), dan zai noodle (担仔面), three-cup chicken (三杯鸡), popcorn chicken (盐酥鸡) and tempura (甜不辣). For first-timers to the restaurant, these 8 dishes will suffice for a Taiwanese food experience. More dishes are available on their online menu.
Beef noodle is my favourite and my first dish at Fung is, undoubtedly, their Signature Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle (台湾葱烧牛肉汤面). It is served with meaty braised beef shanks on thin noodles in rich, dark broth and added with cuts of radish, pickled mustard and scallions. The first sip of the broth and the distinctive flavours of beef, the sweetness of radish, and the refreshing sour-savouriness of pickled mustard filled the senses. The savoury broth carries a light hint of spiciness, not salty and the beef shanks with soft tendons are very tender and juicy. This flavourful dish is tasty and delicious — I finished everything, including the soup.
The Salt Pepper Green Beans (椒盐四季豆) is a small side dish where green beans (French beans) are stir-fried with small amount of salt and pepper and served with some crunchy whole peanuts. The well-cooked green beans retained most of their crunchiness with no taste of rawness and mildly saltish and light peppery flavours from the little salt and pepper. This delightful dish pairs well with beef noodle, which does not have much greens.
Pairing the dishes with a cup of Limau Ais Jeli (爱玉冰), or Iced Taiwanese Jelly with lime, is the best way to have the refreshing Taiwanese dessert as a drink. Maintain the Taiwanese food experience at Fung Taiwanese all the way.
