Many thanks to New Formosa for a no-holds-barred extravaganza of a meal. With food like this, it's no mystery why this place has kept faithful fans coming back for three decades.
Dinner kicked off on a sweet note, with natural Ai Yu jelly served with fresh lemon juice. Boasting no additives or artificial flavouring, this refreshing treat perked us up instantly, both quenching our thirst and whetting our appetites.
The highlight of Formosa Combination was the butter eel, a savoury, slippery temptation that had me licking my lips. Cholesterol non-watchers will revel in the deep-fried pig intestines with sesame seeds _ addictively crunchy and odour-free. Less sinful but equally scrumptious were the three-cup top shell and stuffed lotus roots.
I had two helpings of the simmered winter melon with diced chicken, pork, mushrooms, gingko nuts, wolfberry, red dates, lotus seeds & lily buds. This warmed my stomach and soul, reminding me of the robust, nourishing soups that were my grandmother's speciality.
The Taiwanese-HK-style crispy roasted suckling pig shattered whatever illusions we still had of a healthy meal. Meaty and fatty but not oily, this should satisfy most carnivores.
Stir-fried shelled prawns with deep fried kailan, yam paste and sweet potato dressing. Divinely dip-worthy, this is one of New Formosa's more recent additions to its menu. Dubbed a "President Ma Banquet Dish" and presented in colours like orange, white and green that are meant to represent healthy food.
