A quaint taste of Taiwanese flavours and desserts at Typhoon Café (台风).
My previous Geeky Restaurant Adventures posts and food reviews might have given the impression I am only fond of thematic or elaborate F&B establishments.
This is somewhat true; I do confess to having a weakness for the quirky or elaborate when it comes to food and dining environments. That said, it doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate restaurants or cafes with distinctive culinary roots, especially those with elegant settings.
One such establishment would be the new Typhoon Taiwanese Café at Plaza Singapura. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to check out this quaint, modern café with my family. How was our meal? Here are my pictures and review.
Décor and Food Selection



As for food selection, many of the hot dishes are classically Taiwanese but with strong Japanese executions. This might have been a deliberate move to compete with the many Japanese F&B establishments in Plaza Singapura.


For the benefit of those who do not read Chinese, the café’s Chinese name, as indicated in the logo, is 台风. This is literally the Chinese term for typhoon. However, it could also mean Taiwanese style or Taiwanese trend.
Typhoon Taiwanese Café Food Review



Overall, I’d give a 3 out of 5 to our main dishes, the plus side of things being they were served quite quickly and no one had any complaints. (None were particularly memorable too, though)
Dessert, on the other hand, deserves a 4 out of 5, and I’m not saying so just because there was a desserts of the month promo going on. I quite enjoy the Coconut Panna Cotta I ordered. (See below)



Typhoon Café is at 68 Orchard Rd, #04-63/67, Plaza Singapura. It’s open from 10 am to 10 pm daily.
