Was going around the Hougang neighbourhood and got to learn about the opening of TACOZA by STFU within Hougang Central Bus Interchange — Foodie Hub itself is a fairly recent addition to the bus interchange being situated right next to the outlet of KNS Restaurant there, that being said, the previous rendition of Foodie Hub was serving up local cuisine before TACOZA by STFU had revamped the concept. For those whom are unaware, STFU (abbreviation of Snack That Food Up) is a concept that operates out of a stall unit within Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre. Whilst this is the very first time that STFU is running an independent eatery outside of the hawker centre environment; with that being said, TACOZA by STFU still keeps to serving up Mexican fare that is fairly familiar to STFU’s menu at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre — the menu at TACOZA by STFU comprising of categories such as Quesadilla, Flatbread, Tacos and Burgers, though they are also bundled into Combo Sets which can be shared across multiple pax around the table as well with other side dishes to go along.

The Smoky BBQ Chicken Taco that comes with Combo 2 comes in a serving size of three (3) pieces; whilst TACOZA by STFU does not describe the elements that goes into the making of their items, though it can be observed that the Taco items at TACOZA by STFU do make use of corn tortilla shells whilst the fillings consists of diced chicken, mozzarella cheese and purple cabbage slaw. One thing that is worth noting about the Smoky BBQ Chicken Taco was how it was incredibly easy-to-eat without being difficult to handle — we liked how the tacos weren’t overly loaded with sauce and grease much like the loaded tacos that we have had at other establishments; this also made the Smoky BBQ Chicken Taco feel a little simpler in the composition of flavours here as well. For one, the shredded cheeses does provide a savoury note to the taco, though some might hope for the cheese to be torched for a slightly more melted and gooey texture that would enhance the dish further. It does however work well with the diced chicken that was savoury and slightly smoky; the bits of chicken still tender and easy to chew, while the purple cabbage slaw does add a refreshing crunch while the corn tortilla shell also gives another dimension of crunch to the tacos. Overall, a taco offering that feels pretty clean and easy to finish without overwhelming flavours nor being one that is a mess to deal with.
