Actually, when I tasted Ah Zhong Mian Xian (mee sua) in Taiwan, I thought it was nothing fantastic. The only thing that struck me as unique was the way that we had to stand and hold onto this very hot paper bowl to eat. It was a test of my tolerance of heat!

There are 2 brands that sell Taiwan snacks in Singapore. I've tried both and ...
I highly recommend Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks (http://www.shihlinsnacks.com.tw/sg/locations-sg.htm)
The chicken cutlet with chilli is really good!
It's hot and crispy... and simply yummy!
Another thing that I enjoy eating is their oyster mee sua. What I really like is their serving- just enough soup and each time you scoop, you get one spoonful of mee sua.
The next brand is Xiao Ba Wang. The chain of outlets (at Ion and Tampines 1) are opened by a local artiste Jeff Wang (Taiwanese born).
The food at Xiao Ba Wang is disappointing!
Their mee sua (see below picture) is a huge bowl. Don't be deceived by its size! It's mostly soup. Half the time, I was fishing for mee sua. The soup was not gluey enough and the pork inside the soup was too clumpy/hard.
Not worthy of mentioning is their fried chicken. It's cold, breast meat and tough meat. Not spicy enough. Not appealing even by appearance.
Conclusion?
Shihlin Taiwan snacks is the one recommended. Don't miss it!
