Next to the Three Mountain King Temple in Toucheng, Yilan, there is a brunch shop, said to be lovingly run by the owner. In addition to brunch, they also serve dinner!

📍 Next to the Three Mountain King Temple in Toucheng, Yilan (convenient parking 🅿️)
⚠️ The owner is very friendly, but since she is managing everything by herself, you may need to wait a little after ordering～

Meals:

• 🍝 I ordered the bacon white sauce pasta set ($150) + added a large fresh milk tea $55 + chicken nuggets $40
• 🍜 My friend ordered the black pepper teppanyaki noodle set ($60) + added black tea $30 + onion rings $50

The surprise was that the pasta set came with a serving of tea jelly made by the owner herself (seasonal)! Today’s flavor is coffee, and it's super delicious.

Although it’s not an extravagant meal, you can feel the owner's care; every bite has a warm sensation. It’s a simple yet satisfying taste next to the solemn temple 😊

The atmosphere is cozy.
Natural light.
By adjusting the angle of the seat by the window, you can capture the lush green grass.
I ordered the Vienna crescent with salt-roasted truffle cream mushrooms for $330.
The croissant 🥐 is super large, but the texture is great and very flaky, highly recommended~
I was almost full after eating half of it 🤣
The truffle flavor is acceptable, not too overpowering.
French fruit iced tea for $160.
It's not too astringent, made with fresh fruits, so it tastes very healthy.

Located near Panshi High School, "Flickering Business" looks like an ordinary old house from the outside. Once you push the door open, you’ll be captivated by its retro-style decor. The weathered walls, wooden furniture, and dim yellow lighting create a tranquil and warm atmosphere, a space where one can easily spend an entire afternoon.

This time, I ordered a few savory dishes and desserts, and the overall performance was decent. I would recommend it more as a café for a break rather than coming specifically for a main meal.

"Creamy Vegetable Soup"
Flavored with cumin, it has a prominent aroma, rich but not greasy, making it the best performer among the savory dishes today. I would give it 4 stars.

"Warm Chicken Salad"
A bit disappointing; the lettuce was fresh, but the chicken was somewhat dry.

"Big Breakfast"
The bacon was fragrant, the pumpkin sweet, and the wild mushrooms and baby corn plentiful. The croissant was flaky and crispy, and the lettuce was fresh.

"Stir-fried Garlic Vegetable Chicken Noodles"
The least flavorful, it was hard to taste the garlic. Although the noodles were hand-made and chewy, and the vegetables were abundant, the chicken was still a bit dry.

"Desserts"
The canelé was the biggest surprise of the day, with a hint of alcohol and rich layers. The pudding was smooth and delightful, definitely worth trying! 🍮🍮 The cinnamon roll was just okay, without any special highlights, and the cinnamon aroma was average.

Bonus points: There was a chubby shop cat lazily walking around, super therapeutic! I love these chubby cats so much! 🐈‍⬛ Extra points for having a cat, haha.
In summary, this place is great for a cup of coffee and a slice of dessert, a great spot to relax. I personally think it's best to finish lunch and then come here for afternoon tea.

The dining time is 11 AM on weekdays, with few diners, and the space is spacious, so the seating is not too cramped.

Meal:
Casual $90: This is a random combination of dishes selected by the restaurant, and this time it includes fried silver thread rolls and tuna cheese egg pancakes. The fried silver thread rolls are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the condensed milk adds sweetness; overall, it's worth a try. The tuna egg pancake has a rich oiliness, and the filling is quite generous, performing decently.

The dining space is spacious, and there are fewer people during lunchtime on weekdays, with a waiting time of about 5 minutes for the food to be served.

Dishes:
Bacon Fried Rice $75: It has a fragrant smell reminiscent of cooking in a wok. The bacon adds a good level of saltiness and flavor, creating a rich overall taste. However, it contains three-color beans, which some people might want to consider if they don't like them.

Crispy Chicken Balls $30: The crust has a texture similar to that of crispy chicken thighs, making it distinctly different from regular chicken nuggets. It's worth trying.

Overall, the dishes meet expectations, and the serving speed is fast, making it still highly recommendable.

Environment
A brunch restaurant with the appearance of an old house located in an alley 🍴. There’s also a small courtyard inside that’s perfect for taking photos 📷. The seating is limited, so remember to make a reservation before you go. For brunch lovers, this place is definitely worth a try!

Menu
📍 Meat Feast 💰390
A must-try for meat lovers! There's a croissant as big as your hand 🥐, tender and juicy pan-seared steak, and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside fried chicken, with juices oozing out with each bite!

📍 Combo Platter 💰430
A meaty combination of fried chicken, bacon, and German sausage. The French toast is also delicious and worth upgrading!

📍 Meat Duo 💰270
Bacon and German sausage, perfect for those with a smaller appetite.

Parking
Parking is only available in nearby parking lots 🅿️ as the restaurant is located in an alley.

Braces Person Review: There's a bathroom

This place is Jiangmei Uncle's Breakfast 3.0. The environment is a bit stuffy, and the air circulation isn't great, but the staff is quite friendly.

This time I ordered:
Ice Milk Tea (medium), with moderate sweetness.
Tuna Egg Pancake, the pancake skin is average, the tuna seasoning is okay, but I prefer the version with mayonnaise.
Black Pepper Egg Pancake, the black pepper flavor is quite noticeable.
Peanut Toast, sweet, goes well with the toast.
Crispy Chicken Burger, overall average.
Chicken Balls, fried to a crisp.
Mushroom Platter Noodles, the sauce is a bit on the light side, but the noodles have a decent texture.
Radish Cake with Egg, fried to a nice crisp, goes well with the egg.

Overall, it's just an okay breakfast place—not particularly amazing, but it has all the basics.

Reviewer with braces: There is a bathroom.

This is the Q Burger Zhonghe Zhongxing store, which is a chain breakfast restaurant.

This time I ordered a few items to try:
Ceylon black tea (medium size) - Slightly bitter, the tea flavor is obvious.
Apple milk condensed milk croissant - Sweet, with a nice texture.
Fresh vegetable salad (with Japanese dressing) - Refreshing, can be a supplement for a balanced diet.
Cheese soft baguette + McChicken - The baguette has a nice texture; the combination with cheese and chicken is acceptable.
McNuggets (four pieces) - Super small, not sure what happened.
Honey glazed chicken thigh - The flavor is average, nothing particularly impressive.

Overall, it is a relatively safe chain breakfast option, with no major issues, but also nothing particularly outstanding.

The dining environment is spacious, and during lunch on holidays, there aren’t many people, but on weekdays there is a minimum spending limit of 40 NTD.

Meals:
German sausage wrap: The wrap looks like it has been grilled, but it feels soft when eaten, with sausage, lettuce, corn, etc. inside.
Onion rings: The surface is a bit hard from frying, while the inside onion is soft; overall, it tastes quite ordinary.
Milk tea: It has a richer taste, different from other breakfast shops, making it a standout dish.

Overall, most of the dishes are quite average, and the prices are not expensive, so it’s worth a try again.

The store has about 30 seats, and it often reaches full capacity during lunch hours.

Dishes:
Century Egg and Spicy Preserved Vegetable Egg Pancake $60: The egg pancake has a slightly crispy surface, and the century egg and spicy preserved vegetable add a lot of flavor. There's no need for additional dipping sauce, as it's flavorful enough on its own. Overall, it's definitely worth a try.

Secret Recipe Radish Cake + Milk Tea $65: The radish cake has a very crispy surface and comes with some cucumber to offset the heaviness. The milk tea tastes rather ordinary, similar to that of other breakfast spots.

Although the overall prices are slightly high, the rich flavors of the dishes still make it worth trying.
