A hole in the wall is a dent left by my fist after losing in an online video whilst being cussed out by a fourteen year old who is claiming to have an intimate relationship with my mother. Another definition (and one that appears to be more widespread) is a small, dingy but lovable restaurant with the goods. Kinda like Mother Chu’s Taiwanese Gourmet in Chinatown.
Normal standardised Taiwan breakfast
Congee is okay and the pancake is quite good. But other than that it’s just normal...
The price is rather reasonable and suitable for people who missing Chinese breakfast one for a while.
I think I won’t visit regularly. Guorium🧪 agree?
Long time since Xihuahua 🐶 and I have breakfast out. This place has very decent congee and fried dough sticks! The savoury tofu soup was a meh but I heard Taiwanese excels in sweet tofu soup. The radish cake had very crispy pastry but the filling was warm/cold. Pretty bad dish it was. Overall quite good comfort breakfast. I liked it!
Ordered takeaways from here. T
It takes 20mins for 3 items.
Beside from the long waiting time. The food taste very nice. I will still come back for more next time.
+3 standard starting points for food
+0.5 fine crisp on the pork chop
+0.5 pork sauce so homey
+0.5 smooth sweet ginger tofu hua
+0.5 good price (on these two items)
Usually order noodles here. It’s really good and cooked thoroughly. Main problems: If you order takeaway, they won’t tell you there’s a surplus and when I ordered seafood rice for takeaway, there was only 3 pieces of seafood. Also the menus at the front of the restaurant don’t have prices, they used white out to cover the prices and haven’t added the new prices.
We were only here for the Chinese breakfast, which delivered really well! The food was obviously freshly cooked, and people were waiting at the restaurant's doors before it had even turned its lights on just to have their breakfast dishes. The portion sizes were very generous for their prices, and each dish was hot, tasty and good quality. The staff could be a little more communicative and friendly.
This is just based on the pork dumplings. You don't get much food for $10 in Sydney these days but Mother Chu gave me a lot of pork dumplings for $10.80. It was made with love. The dough wasn't super thin like Din Tai Fung but it was good. The filling was porky yet crunchy. I give this place 4 bears just for the pork dumplings.
Returning review: I went back and tried pork noodle soup. It tastes better than it looks. The broth was sweet and creamy. Good job Mother Chu
Down with 🤧 on Christmas Day... it’s suck!
Had to go to China town and looking for something to comfort my tummy.
I choose this place, to have soya bean milk drink and congee.
Order Taiwanese Pork congee and 3 side dishes plus kungpao chicken.
Soy milk drink and Congee was a little plain ( or maybe my dinner taste bud is a little off ) but still I’m eaten by those for my dinner.
Tofu and ‘thousand years’ preserved egg was served cold, yet tasty!
Braised beef and tripe was good too.
I did order Chinese pancake and bread stick also, it’s a famous street food in 🇨🇳.
Kungpao chicken a little let down but still nice
Dear reader, I was not brave enough to try what the young people were eating in the restaurant, an apparently common Taiwanese snack: a deep fried dough stick wrapped in a fried spring onion pancake. The amount of starch and grease involved in that made me shudder. Good thing they were young and still, apparently, in good health.
