Taichi Restaurant occupies Shop 8 at Spitfire Square, giving the Memorial Avenue complex a dedicated Cantonese dining room for lunch and dinner. Reservations and table service suit a planned meal, while takeaway and delivery make the same cooking available more casually. The menu moves from dumplings and soup into roast meat, wok dishes, seafood, tofu, vegetables, noodles and rice.

A meal can begin with pan-fried pork-and-vegetable dumplings, crisp spring rolls, wontons or prawn-filled filo pastries. Soup provides a contrasting start: chicken and corn is creamy and gentle, hot and sour brings more punch, and duck-bone broth with pickles and tofu offers a particularly savoury option. These smaller dishes are easy to share before the larger plates reach the table.

Cantonese roast duck is one of the kitchen's central signatures, joined by sweet-and-sour pork and beef cooked with black bean or XO sauce. Cashew chicken adds sweetness and crunch, while braised beef brisket casserole provides a slower-cooked counterpoint to the wok. Ordering across those preparations highlights the menu's balance between roast-house traditions, sauce-led stir-fries and comforting clay-pot style dishes.

Seafood, tofu and vegetables give diners room to build a more varied spread. Salt-and-pepper tofu offers a crisp vegetarian plate, and the Taichi vegetable combination gathers several plant-based elements into a substantial main. Fried noodles and fried rice work as shared anchors, while individual meat-on-rice choices suit a quicker lunch. The result is equally workable for solo dining and a table ordering family style.
