Formosa Delights Handmade Noodles brought the art of Dao Xiao Mian (knife-cut noodles) to Singapore, starting from their pioneering outlet on Orchard Road before expanding across the island. The 313@Somerset location continues this tradition, specialising in authentic handmade Chinese noodles crafted using only the finest ingredients and traditional knife-shaving techniques that create uniquely textured noodles impossible to replicate with machines.
The signature knife-cut noodle technique involves manually shaving noodle strips from a dough block using a specialised blade, creating irregular, triangular-shaped noodles with superior chewiness and elasticity. These irregularities—far from being flaws—define the authentic Dao Xiao Mian experience, with each noodle's unique shape allowing sauces and broths to cling differently, creating varied taste and texture with every bite.
The menu offers flexibility, allowing customers to order their handmade noodles dry or in soup, with choice of beef, chicken, or pork protein. Signature dishes include the Stir-fried Chilli Oil over Knife Shaven Noodle with Fried Chicken Cutlet, which balances the chewy noodles against crispy chicken and spicy-aromatic chilli oil. The dry noodle preparations showcase the noodles' texture more prominently, while soup versions create comfort food that appeals to local tastes.
Formosa Delights' commitment to handmade production sets them apart in an era of industrial noodle manufacturing. Every batch is prepared fresh, maintaining quality standards that honour traditional Chinese noodle-making while adapting flavours to suit Singaporean palates. For diners seeking authentic handmade noodles with proper texture and bite, Formosa Delights delivers a taste of traditional craftsmanship in the modern food court setting at 313@Somerset.

I ordered the beef knife-shave noodle soup. The flavor was completely different, and the beef was tough. I could barely finish half. This is the worst knife-shave noodle I have ever tried so far.

Order a seafood noodles and it is the worst noodles I ever ate .. the miserable prawn seen to be precooked and store .. not fresh ans super hard. There are no other seafood inside beside 2 meat ball smells frozen. It's affect the soup. Please dont sellsuch food.
Joden Wong
I’m very disappointed with my recent order from Formosa Delight Noodle. I ordered the Taiwan Chicken Mee and was shocked to find a bamboo stick hidden in the noodles. This is not just unacceptable — it’s dangerous.
If I hadn’t noticed it in time, it could have caused serious harm, especially if this meal had been for a child. A foreign object like that in food shows a clear lack of quality control in the kitchen.
I strongly urge the restaurant to investigate how this happened and to take immediate steps to prevent it from happening again. In the meantime, I would advise others — especially parents — to be extremely cautious when ordering from here.

Food sucks now. Used to like them a lot and always look forward to eating it. Had the you Mian. Tasted so bland and meh.
Joey Lin
My worst meal from Food Republic at 313 goes to the Mee Hoon Kueh from Formosa Delights. The broth was absolutely tasteless and the MHK was rather hard. I could only manage 3 bites and that was it.

Located at the newly revamped food court in 313 Mall, the Tom Yum Noodle is always a delightful experience. We can customize our order by removing ingredients (no prawns), and the chili sauce is generously self serve. The taste is excellent, and if we don’t want prawns, they substitute them with others. This dish has consistently been a favorite.
The prices are also reasonable, and as a special discount because new revamped food court, there’s a 10% discount available.
