My Lost Piece, Spencer St

This little place opened up recently and I can't resist trying it out. There are many choices on the menu for a small place like this. It only has about 10 seats inside the restaurant and another 18 outside. It would pretty uncomfortable sitting outside the restaurant in the windy alley so we snapped the last table inside the restaurant.

Ordering is via the front counter. There is a 5% discount for cash payments (bring back the cash!) but 10% surcharge for public holidays. 

There are some dishes I love on the menu like popcorn chicken, oyster mee sua, and tofu with century egg. It was difficult to make a choice but we eventually settled for lu rou fan (minced pork belly on rice, a quintessential Taiwanese dish) ($14.80 upsized)and popcorn chicken bento ($15.80, /$17.80 for upsize).

The popcorn chicken bento comes with a decent serving of popcorn chicken, lu rou, soy egg and some vermicelli salad. The popcorn chicken was crispy and delicious. The rice was quite mushy which I did not like.

Lu rou fan. Gaz loved this and he would to try to replicate this at home. The addition of preserved vege gave this a different touch. 

 The serving of the rice bowls would be small without the upsoze but the bento meals are decent even without upsizing. There are many other small dishes to taste, which makes it a pleasant dining experience.
