About CargiBite

Victoria Park locals drop into this unassuming spot for genuine Taiwanese street food cravings, from steaming bowls of mee sua to golden chicken chops. Bowls of thick vermicelli arrive loaded with tender pork intestines—lifted by a splash of black vinegar and house chilli oil—while chicken cutlets and braised minced pork arrive plated over rice on dishes shaped like Taiwan itself. In the evenings, live acoustic pop songs drift across the dining room as regulars wash down oyster omelettes with sweet black tea and imported apple soda.

  • Night Market Mee Sua: Bowls of thick vermicelli soup with braised pork intestines, spiked with vinegar and homemade chilli oil.
  • Taiwan-Shaped Plates: Generous chicken cutlets, three-cup chicken, and braised pork served over rice on custom island-shaped dishware.
  • Evening Live Music: Acoustic singers perform familiar pop tunes during evening dinner service.

  • Classic Taiwanese Comfort Dishes

    Patrons enjoy flavorful braised pork rice paired with tender chicken pop and savory sides cooked with traditional Taiwanese seasoning and short grain rice.

  • Distinctive Taiwan-Shaped Plating

    Dishes like chicken cutlet and three-cup chicken are presented on custom tableware shaped like the island map of Taiwan.

    They served it on a plate that was the shape of Taiwan's map so that really was innovative.

    The fried chicken cutlet rice was amazing, the stewed vermicelli with chitterlings tasted just as authentic as the ones we had in Taiwan

  • Fried Sweet Potato Balls

    For entree, I tried their fried sweet potato balls. They were crunchy, freshly fried, with soft centred filling

  • Braised Hard Tofu

    a side of braised hard tofu. The tofu is a cold dish. It was nice and firm, and it has a good five spice and sesame oil flavour while not being overwhelming.

  • Bingsoo

    To conclude the meal, the bingsoo was a refreshing treat, featuring finely shaved ice topped with fresh fruits and sweet red beans, providing a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, parking, and kitchen timing to make the most of your visit.

  • Book Ahead to Avoid Waiting

    The cafe is small and popular, often drawing queues during peak dinner and weekend rush hours. Call ahead to reserve a table to guarantee immediate seating.

  • Allow Extra Time for Parking

    Street parking around Cargill Street fills quickly during peak hours. Arrive early or allow extra time to find a spot before your meal.

  • Note the Kitchen Cutoff Time

    Kitchen orders close 30 minutes before closure (e.g. 8:30pm for a 9:00pm close). Be sure to arrive well before last call so you can order full hot sets.
