I stumbled upon Shi Li Fang when I was window-shopping in JCube one day. The snaking long queue quipped my curiosity and I went to investigate what everyone was queuing for. It turned out to be a Taiwan steamboat restaurant.
I returned a few weeks later with a girlfriend and I got my first taste of Shi Li Fang.
Shi Lin Fang is fully-decked out in The Little Mermaid theme, with blue walls and cute fish stickers. Perhaps the owner of Shi Li Fang is a huge fan of The Little Mermaid? I don’t really see the connection between The Little Mermaid and a steamboat restaurant, but the decoration is rather pleasing to the eye.
Shi Li Fang’s robotic server in City Square Mall made it into the Lianhe Zaobao because not only can it serve food, it can also sing the birthday song. Unfortunately, the robotic server was “resting” on the day we visited the outlet in JCube so I did not get to see it in action.
This is the ala carte menu which features over 100 items of meats, seafood, vegetables and rice.
This is the Single Value Set for those who are dining alone. There are 12 options to choose from, from ShilLiFang Speciality Chicken Set Meal to Pork Belly Set Meal. The All-in-One Set Meal (for 1 person) includes a whole lot of ingredients: Pork Luncheon Meat, Taiwan Sausages, Crispy Pork, Coriander Ball, Cuttlefish Ball, Beef Ball, Fresh Fish Ball, Green Chilli, Red Chilli, Mushroom Yong Tau Foo, Bittergourd Yong Tau Foo and Yong Tau Foo.
This set meal menu is for 2-3 people per portion, but you can always combine different set meals for big groups of people.
There are 14 soup bases to choose from, priced between $3.20 to $12.80. You can top-up $1.60 per person for free-flow of drinks or Chinese Tea. We chose the Beauty Collagen (Chicken) Soup [$4.80 + $3.50 ($3.50 for the collagen stock that looks like vanilla pudding)] and Nourishing Fish Soup.
Our Pork and Chicken Combo Set Meal [$29.80 + $1.2] contains Japanese Kurobuta Pork, Shilifang Pork Tenderloin (Fresh), Pork Belly, Shilifang Speciality Chicken (Fresh) and Superior Chicken Slice. It is defiantly more than enough for 2 persons.
Every set meal comes with individual vegetable platter which consists of cabbage, lettuce, straw mushroom, egg, black fungus, tofu, winter melon, carrot, vermicelli, fish ball and crab sticks.
I ordered an additional serving of Fresh Superior Lamb [$14.90]. The meat came in a plate of bright red curls, it is definitely very fresh but I do wish that the lamb could be cut into thinner slices.
All the set meals come with 2 servings of noodle or rice and we chose Handmade Noodles and Egg Noodle.
There are 22 different condiments to choose from but if you can’t decide, you can always try Shi Li Fang Signature Sauce (Shi Li Fang Sesame Sauce + Chili Oil + Onion + Parsley), Shi Li Fang Creative Sauce (Shi Li Fang Spicy + Sesame Oil + Garlic) or Taiwan Classic Sauce (Sha Cha Sauce + Garlic + Soy Sauce + Vinegar + Parsley).
Top-up $1.60 per person for free-flow of drinks or Chinese Tea.
I think the cute stuffed toys that line the entrance of Shi Li Fang (JCube) is a draw to female customers. You get 1 stamp for every $38 spent at Shi Li Fang, the stuffed toys can be redeemed with 2-4 stamps.
