Signature Dishes

Gua Bao

Our first pick was their signature Gua Bao, consisting of braised pork belly, garnished with pickled vegetables, hand-roasted ground peanuts, and cilantro. It is similar to our local kong ba bao, with the difference being a lighter braise, and added garnishes like pickles and nuts for a balanced pow-wow combination of sweet and savoury. Besides the Gua Bao, we noticed they also offer CBB (Crispy Chicken Bun) and a Fish Bun variant, adding more variety to their menu.

Beef Noodles

Next on our list was the Beef Noodles. It featured premium beef golden coin stewed in savoury and collagen-rich broth made from simmering marrow-heavy beef bones and over 20 spices for 10 hours. The fresh knife-cut noodles were chewy and had an extra-smooth, texture that were a perfect addition to this souper bowl.

Peanut Ice Cream Roll

For dessert, we tried the much-hyped Peanut Ice Cream Roll. It's a classic Taiwanese treat, combining vanilla ice cream with crushed peanuts and cilantro, all wrapped in a popiah skin. The mix of savoury and sweet, with the freshness of cilantro, gives an unexpected twist. They also offer a Black Sesame Ice Cream Roll, served with smokey black sesame paste, for those who prefer a smokey flavour.

Golden Chicken Mee Sua

Their Golden Chicken Mee Sua is a creative take on traditional sesame oil chicken mee sua from Taiwan. It features a juicy pan-fried chicken thigh, simmered in a fragrant mix of sesame oil and premium Shaoxing Hua Diao Jiu (yellow wine). It's a heartwarming dish that perfectly embodies Abundance's approach to modernizing classic Taiwanese dishes.
