Taste of Cho - Haymarket

During my visit, I ordered a dish with chopped meat, carrots, tofu, and winter melons. The server provided soup spoons and bamboo chopsticks, but I could have requested a plastic fork. Some dishes had a subtle hint of chili, adding a spicy kick without being overwhelming. I also tried their iced green tea, which I found to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable. A word of advice - try to arrive early or avoid the lunch rush to avoid long wait times, as the popularity of this place can lead to lines of up to an hour. However, the wait is worth it for the unique and delicious dishes served at Taste of Cho.

After seeing the long lines outside this restaurant for weeks, I decided to join the queue to see what all the hype was about. Without knowing the type of cuisine, I picked three dishes along with rice. I enjoyed the delicious fried chicken dish (though a bit dry), the fresh chili bean sprouts, and a tasty meat dish. Only later did I confirm from reviews that the cuisine was Taiwanese. While I could have explored more options, I found that half of my plate was filled with plain boiled rice, which seemed a bit overpriced at $11.50, considering the limited sauce provided.

We saw the queue and it was worth the wait. You can watch the dishes being prepared while you wait. We had a taste of 3 dishes with rice. All very nice with superfresh ingredients. The only downside is the lack of seating..8 stools!

The food here is delicious , it's Taiwanese and offers a different style of Asian food to the normal Chinese food in Haymarket . It's well priced and if you like Kim Chi you must try theirs, I loved it. You can get lunch for...under $10 but it tastes so much fresher than a lot of the other take away places in the area.

SInce I was staying at a popular hostel nearby, it was a bit impossible to prepare my own meal at dinner time at a cramped kitchen; hence, most of the time, I ate at Taste of Cho at Market City. I usually have rice boxes...with 2 different dishes; it costs $8.50, which is very good price and did not have the hassle to squeeze (or fight) for a place to cook at the hostel.
