If you’re missing Taiwan, here’s a way to travel there without taking a flight. 886 Taiwan Ye Shi in Changi Airport Terminal 3 stands out for its theming as much as its menu. The eatery recreates Taiwan street food in a retro, railway-inspired interior modelled on Shifen Night Market.
Where Is 886 Taiwan Ye Shi Located?
886 Taiwan Ye Shi is at B2-40/40A, Changi Airport Terminal 3, in the basement dining cluster alongside other concepts like Korea Culture and Swensen’s.
It’s easily accessible from the Changi Airport MRT station, making it a convenient eatery for both travellers and locals dropping by T3.
The interior draws directly from Shifen Night Market in Taiwan: a rail track runs through the walkway, and paper lanterns hang from the ceiling as a nod to the wish lanterns released at Shifen.
Guests obviously can’t release live lanterns here, but they can type their wishes into digital lanterns near the entrance – a small touch that fits the theme well.
What Should I Order At 886 Taiwan Ye Shi?
The signature menu items are the Trio Bowl Set ($15.90) and Signature XO Fried Rice ($16.90). Beyond those, the menu covers classic Taiwanese street food staples like Taiwan Sweet Potato Balls ($4.90) and a Soy Milk with You Tiao Set ($3.90).
If you’re undecided, the Trio Bowl Set ($15.90++) is a good choice. It includes three classic Taiwanese dishes on one platter: Lu Rou Fan (made here with beef instead of the usual pork), Sesame Chicken Rice, and Oyster Mee Sua.
Each bowl carries the right flavour for the dish, though we’d have liked stronger seasoning. The beef Lu Rou Fan held up better than expected, though smaller meat chunks would make it easier to eat.
The Signature XO Fried Rice ($16.90++) has more punch, with a spicy kick from the XO sauce that’s amplified further by the chilli oil provided at the table. Prawns are folded in for extra protein.
The standout was the Jiang Mu Ji La Mian ($13.90++). The ginger-and-chicken broth is comforting, sweet and almost collagen-rich, and came with a tender, off-the-bone chicken drumstick.
The broth coated the chewy, thick-cut noodles; making it a hearty and comforting bowl.
No Taiwanese street food spread is complete without fried chicken, and the XXL Fried Chicken ($9.90++) here delivers! A crunchy, airy crust wrapped around juicy chicken breast, coated in a salty-peppery seasoning powder.
Cold Dishes And Sides
886 Taiwan Ye Shi runs a self-service cold dish counter, with small plates priced at $1.80 or $2.80.
Worth trying are the Mala Mushroom ($2.80), Cucumber ($1.80) and Asam Guava ($1.80), all dressed in sauces sharp enough to work as palate openers.
Drinks And Desserts
The Signature Bubble Tea ($5.50) has a nostalgic flavour profile with strong tea, balanced milkiness, not overly jelak.
However, the “bubbles” are agar-agar pearls rather than the usual chewy tapioca pearls, which we think would have suited the drink better.
The Signature Soy Milk Pudding ($6.90) comes with the full spread of classic toppings: sweet potato balls, red bean and grass jelly. It was sweet, light and creamy, with syrup on the side to adjust sweetness to taste.
Is 886 Taiwan Ye Shi Worth It?
Yes, if you’re after a fuss-free, wallet-friendly meal at the airport. The food isn’t fully authentic Taiwanese cuisine and won’t blow you away on flavour alone, but the portions and prices make it a solid pick among eateries in Changi Airport, especially for those short on time before a flight.
