Thank you for all your love and support for Dancing Dandelion over the past 4 years ❤️
We have made so many beautiful friends along the way. What an honour it is, to be a part of the journey of the kids who grew up with us. What joy it is, to be the place of fun and adventure for the kids who have just started their journey.

Ready....drum roll.... Here it is!!!
The braised beef noodle soup is a classic Taiwanese dish. And yes... we have been asked repeatedly if our chef can roll this out on the menu. IT'S HERE!!!
The broth is a rich soy based soup, with aromatic spices and herbs. Together with tender beef chunks that just melt in your mouth and chewy thick noodles, the combination creates wonderous fireworks for your taste buds.
A must try!!! Available from this week! ❤️

New Menu item!!!!
If you are someone who appreciates the natural sweetness of vegetables, the freshness of meat (pork) and the original flavours of food itself without over-seasoning. This is the dish for you!!!
The Lion's head (pork meat ball, not real lions!!) wrapped in cabbage leaf, is steamed to preserve the flavours and juices within. It is a dish that really challenges the quality of ingredients, which which we uphold with great effort.
Come and try this for yourself! Available from tomorrow 😎
