Xiao Long Bao lovers, this one is for you! Typhoon Cafe has launched a new À La Carte Buffet that offers unlimited Xiao Long Baos alongside a selection of over 30 popular Taiwanese street foods.
Aiming to bring authentic Taiwanese fare to Singapore, the café’s menu features the country’s most popular flavours and iconic dishes, including artisanal fruit teas, braised pork rice, and more.
The newest buffet launch starts at S$19.90 and includes a wide range of snacks, sides, mains, and desserts. As per the café’s chef recommendations, we tried the Oyster Mee Sua, Signature Braised Pork Rice, Casserole Tofu, and of course, Xiao Long Baos—which did not disappoint.
The Oyster Mee Sua was thick and silky, with generous servings of plump oysters adding delightful bursts of umami as we ate, while the Signature Braised Pork Rice was covered in a rich and gelatinous meat sauce that paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The pork floss added a hint of sweetness, which gave the dish an extra depth of flavour that we really appreciated.
Arguably one of our favourites, the Casserole Tofu was rich and savoury. The silky tofu was drenched in a flavour-packed sauce, creating the perfect combination that had us reaching for more.
Finally, the highlight of the buffet is definitely the unlimited flow of Xiao Long Baos. These little soup dumplings delight the taste buds with a burst of broth on every bite, making them incredibly addictive. Known to be pricier than the typical dim sum dishes, now you can eat them to your heart’s content without worrying about the price tag!
Lastly, the Signature Taiwanese Pot-Boiled Milk Tea (S$4.90++, UP S$9.90++) levels up the classic milk tea with premium tea and handmade pearls. Choose between fragrant Mountain Oolong or smoky Assam tea leaves, and enjoy the fresh brew poured directly over the chewy, syrupy pearls for a pop of sweetness and texture. This delicacy can now be ordered at 50% off with every À La Carte Buffet order, limited to one redemption per pax.
Fans of Andie Chen, you’ll also be delighted to learn that some of these dishes were developed in close collaboration with him, featuring his favourite Taiwanese dishes. So definitely check out the buffet if you want a taste of your idol’s favourite foods!
