座落于裕廊东的 JCUBE （Jurong Entertainment Centre 的前生） 在今年四月就已隆重开幕。由于讨厌人挤人的缘故，到那闲逛的计划一拖再拖，迟迟没能实现。
直到几天前受大哥之托携带家中两老到JCUBE三楼的「吃在台北」品尝台湾小吃我才有借口説服自己到那兜两圈。
Located at Jurong East, JCUBE (the former Jurong Entertainment Centre) was officially opened in April this year. My plans to visit the place failed to materialize due to the fact that I hate jostling with people.
I eventually convinced myself to make a trip down a couple of days ago when my brother tasked me to bring our parents to meet up with him for dinner at "Eat At Taipei", a Taiwaese eatery on the third level of JCUBE.
「吃在台北」就设立于溜冰场旁所以冷气会比较冷。食客大可边吃热乎乎的小吃，边看人溜冰。这也是一种难得的体验。
"Eat At Taipei" is situated right next to the skating rink so it might get a little cold here but where else could you experience watching skaters go round in the rink while digging in to a piping hot meal?

Very eye-catching shop signs with a night market feel
招牌奶茶 $2.50
没去过台湾因此不晓得跟道地的味道有何不同，但试了一口，不是很喜欢。面线的羹应该是很粘稠的吧？这碗的却很稀释。
我还是较喜欢士林连锁店所卖的。
This is Mum's Vermicelli with Oyster.
I have no idea how it compares to the real thing as I have never been to Taiwan but I do not like the taste at all. I believe the soup should be gooey but this is rather diluted.
I would still very much prefer the mee sua from the Shihlin franchise.
这是老豆的三杯鸡套餐。
淡而无味。根本吃不出那酒，麻油和酱油的味道。
This is Dad's 'Sanbei' Chicken with Basil.
Literally tasteless. Could not discern the taste of wine, sesame oil and dark soy sauce.
Signature Milk Tea $2.50
点了杯招牌奶茶。
觉得麻麻地。还是贡茶的奶茶比较好喝。
I ordered a signature Milk Tea but find it ordinary. Gong Cha Milk Tea is still the best in my opinion.

'Danzai' Noodle Soup $4.90
这是大嫂的担仔面。
没机会试味道。那蛋看起来怪怪的。
This is sister-in-law's 'Danzai' Noodle Soup.
I did not managed to try the taste. The egg looks weird though.

猪脚套餐 $15.90
Pork Knuckles Set $15.90
这是我的猪脚套餐！
好吃！非常好吃！
猪脚卤的非常入味，非常弹牙！那胶质实在是太，太，太，太，太好吃了！跟老豆的三杯鸡相比，我的好吃多了！不解的是三杯鸡套餐竟然比猪脚套餐还来得贵！
美中不足的是那碗饭上的肉末吃起来没任何味道。那碗因该不是鲁肉饭吧？
可惜，可惜。
This is my Pork Knuckles Set!
It is extremely nice!
The knuckles were well-braised while the collagen were so yummy! Compared to Dad's 'Sanbei' Chicken, mine tastes so much better! What I could not fathom was why Dad's 'Sanbei' Chicken is costlier than my Pork Knuckles?
What disappoints me was that the morsel of minced meat on the rice is tasteless. I hope it is not Braised Fatty Pork rice?
What a pity.
接下来，是“公私”的部分咯。
Coming up next are the communal dishes!

葱油饼 $3.90

Spring Onion Pancake $3.90
这葱油饼的口感吃起来非常像加了葱的印度煎饼！好酥脆！
This Spring Onion Pancake tastes very much like Prata with Spring Onions! Very crispy!

蚵仔煎 $6.90
Oyster Omelette $6.90
Oyster Omelette $6.90
登！登！登！登！
各位观众，这就是我当晚最期待的一道菜！
蚵
仔
煎
！
我的评语却是… 非常的油，非常的腻。
这家的蚵仔根本不像在台湾美食节目上看到的那么肥美多汁。电视都是骗人的嘛！这里的蚵仔个个都像是从难民营里逃出来那么瘦不啦叽的。
看来还是本地的蚝煎较合我口味。
This was my most anticipated dish of the night but the oyster omelette which we had were rather oily.
The oysters does not resemble any of those succulent ones which we see on Taiwan food programmes. The ones here looked like they came from concentration camps.
It seems that I still prefer our local version.

凤梨苦瓜汤 $4.50
Bittergourd Soup $4.50
这其实是上桌的第一道菜。原本以为是一大碗的汤，来的却是一人分的小碗。五个人一人尝一口就见底了。呵！呵！
这凤梨苦瓜汤非常的可口！我们还是第一次喝到加了凤梨和豆瓣酱的苦瓜汤！
好喝！好喝！ 赞啦！
This is actually the first dish to arrive on the table. We had thought that it would be a big bowl but what came was only a single person portion. Each of us had a spoonful and the bowl was nearly emptied.
This is a very tasty bowl of Bittergourd Soup and it is our first time having Bittergourd Soup with Pineapple and Bean Paste!
Superb!
Superb!
棺材板 $8.90
Tainan 'Coffin' Toast $8.90
棺材板其实是一片中间挖空的土司并在里面加了浓汤与海鲜。
我一直很好奇也很期待它到底是什么味道呢？吃了以后才发现原来里面那白色浓稠的汤竟然是牛奶的味道。
虽然并不排斥牛奶但汤的味道偏甜，再加上土司是经过油炸的所以感觉有点腻。
Coffin Toast is a piece of thick toast which had it's center hollowed out and filled with creamy soup and seafood.
I have always been curious how it tastes like? After a sip, I realised that the soup tastes like milk.
Although I like milk, I do find the soup a little too sweet for my liking. Furthermore，the toast was deep fried hence it is a little nauseating for me.
正餐吃完了，我们点了两分甜点。
点的当然是电视上常看到的芒果挫冰。另一碗是情人果挫冰。
一想到芒果就冻末条啦！
Done with our main course, we ordered desserts.
What better to order than the Mango Shaved Ice which we have seen so much on TV. We also ordered a bowl of Passionfruit Shaved Ice.
I could scarcely contain myself just thinking about the Mango!

一碗消暑的冰上铺满了诱人可口的芒果！以上的照片，正是我心目中那碗完美的芒果挫冰！但，现实与理想往往是成对比的。
我们点的芒果挫冰是长这个样子的。
That bowl of shaved ice laden with Mango cubes in the photo above was what I expected to be the ideal bowl of Mango Shaved Ice however, there is always a stark contrast between expectations and reality.
The Mango Shaved Ice which we ordered looked like this.
芒果挫冰 $7.90
Mango Shaved Ice $7.90
让人意想不到的是，我们的芒果挫冰上铺盖的并不是芒果，而是芒果口味的糖浆。在一旁那少得可怜的芒果块竟然还是生的。真的是有够酸 ~
$7.90 一碗的芒果挫冰因该不仅仅只是冰和糖浆罢了。
那百香果口味的挫冰比想象中的好吃。虽然也是酸的但比较容易接受。
Unexpectedly, what's laden on our shaved ice were not Mango cubes but Mango-flavored syrup. The pathetic few pieces of Mango cubes that lay unnoticed on the side were unriped and extremely sour.
At $7.90 a bowl, I had expected something more than just ice and syrup.
The Passionfruit Shaved Ice on the other hand was alot better than I had imagined. Even though it was also sour but it was more paletable.
