Bigger Than Your Face: Shihlin's Crispy Chicken Lands at PLQ Mall
Craving the crunch of a chicken cutlet bigger than your face? Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks at PLQ Mall brings the alleys of Taipei’s famous night market to Basement 2, serving up XXL Crispy Chicken, hand-cut oyster mee sua, and other Taiwanese favourites for a quick, satisfying bite.
A Taste of Taipei’s Night Markets at PLQ Mall
Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks takes its name and inspiration from Taipei’s legendary Shihlin Night Market, famous for its maze of alleys packed with irresistible street food. The brand has grown into a global name, with over 240 outlets across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United States, and around 20 stores islandwide in Singapore alone.
Everything at the PLQ Mall kiosk is freshly prepared on the spot, in keeping with the brand’s promise of cooking food the same way it is made back in Taiwan, right down to the imported flour used for the signature crispy chicken. Because the kiosk sits within Basement 2, it is a convenient grab-and-go stop for shoppers heading to or from the MRT, rather than a sit-down restaurant experience.
Must-Try Snacks at Shihlin PLQ
The star of the menu is the XXL Crispy Chicken, a large, tender chicken breast marinated, coated in imported flour, and fried to a golden crisp before being dusted with a special blend of oriental spices. Other favourites include the Handmade Oyster Mee Sua, a thick, savoury noodle soup loaded with oysters and shredded chicken, and the Seafood Tempura, a crispy fried seafood paste snack finished with a signature spice powder.
For something heartier, the Happy Ricebox pairs the signature crispy chicken with cold tofu and a Taiwanese-style sauce over rice, while the Crispy Floss Egg Crepe and its Sausage Cheese and Mushroom Cheese variations make for a satisfying snack on the go. Those craving something cooling can round off their order with the Lemon Ai-Yu Jelly or a cup of Winter Melon Tea, both popular ways to balance out the fried snacks.
Pro Tip: Shihlin’s food is meant to be eaten hot and fresh off the fryer, so it is best enjoyed on the go rather than after a long wait — grab it as your first stop before continuing your shopping at PLQ Mall.
Muslim-Friendly, No Pork, No Lard, No Beef
Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks is not currently Halal-certified, but the brand states that it serves no pork, no lard, and no beef across its menu, making it a more accessible option for Muslim diners looking for a quick snack while shopping at PLQ Mall. Diners with specific dietary requirements should still check directly with staff at the counter.
Current Deals and Limited-Time Specials
Shihlin frequently rotates limited-time specials across its outlets, having previously introduced items such as Crispy Chicken Nasi Lemak, a Mala-seasoned XXL Crispy Chicken for its anniversary celebrations, and a Hot & Sour Soup now available as a permanent appetiser. For online orders, the PLQ Mall outlet’s foodpanda page has featured an ongoing 15% off deal applied automatically at checkout, so it is worth checking current app-only offers before you order.
