Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet

Mother Chu's isn't a place you go to for service or cleanliness... The seating is crowded, but nonetheless, we ordered, and paid upfront. The food was fairly cheap, and as expected, very greasy.

Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet

Passbyers can watch these starchy goodies being made from scratch by a family of women in the kitchen... rolling, kneeding, wrapping, steaming and frying.


Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet - fried dumplings

Fried pork dumplings... these were absorbed in oil but had a nice crispy base. I would have preferred the dumplings pan-fried.


Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet - hot and sour soup

The hot & sour soup proved to be nothing like it's name. It wasn't spicy nor sour.


Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet - little steamed buns

Little steamed pork buns, or better known as 'xiao long bao'. The skin was a little chewy, just the way I like it... and the inside filling was moist and juicy.


Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet - fried batter wrapped in shallot pancake

One of my favourties... freshy made, shallot pancake wrapped around deep-fried bread sticks ("Yau Ja Gwai")... the shallot pancake was warm and flakey, and the fried bread stick was golden and airy inside.

    This place used to be great but I've been told that they changed owners...probably the reason for the difference in taste now -it's a shame. Great photos though!
