Tai Ho Chiak 台好甲 @ Burmah Road, Georgetown, Penang.

Started in Sungai Petani (Kedah), Tai Ho Chiak 台好甲 has quickly expanded its business operations to to Raja Uda (Penang mainland) and Klang Valley (Kepong). The latest addition to the brand is its 4th outlet at Burmah Road (Penang). The brand may not be new to some, the menu features many classic Taiwanese delights that offer a taste of Taiwan to diners. Timeless classics like 3-Cups Chicken, Deep Fried Chicken Chop, Egg Rolls, Hot Pot are all on offer. All dishes are reasonably priced, an average meal here typically costs around RM20-Rm25 per pax (without drinks). We were there on a crowded Saturday, despite the big crowd, their crowd management was good. The ordering process was smooth and food served in a jiffy.

Signature Stir Fried Beef Rice (Rm 20.80) + Sunny Side Up (Rm 1.80)

Deep Fried Pork Chop Rice Set (Rm 19.80)

Deep Fried Chicken Chop Rice Set (Rm 17.80)

Sesame Oil Chicken Rice (Rm 12.80)

Unagi and Egg Rice (Rm 25.80)

Deep Fried Fresh Milk (Rm 7.80)

Ham and Cheese Egg Roll (Rm 7.80)

Marinated Cucumber (Rm 4.80)

None of the dishes disappoint, we particularly enjoyed the Signature Stir Fried Beef Rice. The sauce carried an addictive savory-sweet flavor, when enjoyed with the caramelized Onions and expertly cooked Pearl Rice, the combo was lovely. We also had some side orders like the Ham and Cheese Egg Roll, which we thought it was quite good (though the sauce may be a little overly salty). The Marinated Cucumber was a nice addition to refresh the palate- addictively crunchy and sour-sweet. Not too shabby for a quick Taiwanese fix.
