Located on Green Island, "Maunmaun" is a brunch restaurant hidden deep in the woods. It's a bit hard to find as it's not on the main road; you have to leave the asphalt path and ride into a sandy trail. The restaurant has a strong island vibe in its decor, making it especially suitable for taking photos. However, without air conditioning, the interior can feel a bit stuffy on hot days, and the fans cannot keep up with the heat of the island.
The menu has a limited selection, but each dish is quite unique. First is the Vietnamese chicken thigh cold noodle, which is very refreshing. The noodles are cool and appetizing, especially on a hot day, and paired with a refreshing sweet and sour sauce. The chicken thigh has a crispy exterior and juicy interior, providing a very satisfying experience. Next is the seafood salad shrimp burger, which features a special sauce combined with a croissant burger. The shrimp is tender and served with handmade tortillas, offering a rich texture, and the fries are perfectly fried, making the overall meal very delicious.
In summary, although the environment may feel a bit stuffy, the quality of the food is excellent and the dining atmosphere is nice. I still recommend it!
Today, I wanted to stop by Mingyue to try eating there. I ordered a serving of fried chicken strips and a latte. The fried chicken strips were $250, but unexpectedly small in portion. Since I was really hungry, I forgot to take a photo of how it looked when it first arrived. There were about 5 or 6 pieces in total, and honestly, they were the worst fried chicken strips I've ever had. The skin wasn't crispy and was even a bit tough, and the meat was super dry and bland. Every single piece left me feeling disappointed... However, the pickled onions on the side were very tasty. The hot latte was surprisingly large and quite aromatic, so I would recommend that! I noticed many people come here to order French toast, so I give it 3 stars. I'll probably come back to try other items, but for just the chicken strips, I can only give it 1.5 stars.
🔱 The Yard 苑里 🔱
A rare café and gastropub in Songgang, Shenzhen, quite possibly the only one in the area.
I came that day for dinner, and before leaving, the staff gave me a hand-brewed coffee experience voucher, which happened to be taking place the next day, so I decided to join and also tried some cocktail mixing XD
For dinner, I ordered the couple’s set menu (598 CNY):
The smoked salmon salad as an appetizer was refreshing and perfect for stimulating the appetite.
There were two main dishes: one was the Australian steak, and the other was pan-seared cod.
🎖️ The steak was cooked to perfection, and the stone plate retained heat to a certain degree, allowing us to choose to dip it in salt for the original flavor, or drizzle some black pepper sauce over it.
🎖️ The pan-seared cod was paired with a special butter lemon sauce, which I really enjoyed.
🎖️ Additionally, there was a piece of baked croissant, crispy and flaky, spread with butter, and it tasted amazing.
🎖️ There was also a bottle of sweet wine paired with the set menu, which was a nice accompaniment for the meal. I drank quite a bit of it, but unfortunately, I accidentally broke the bottle on the way home... so sad.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I would like to specifically highlight their hand-brewed coffee experience event the next day.
The session was led by one of the restaurant's partners who has been in the coffee foreign trade business for many years and knows a lot about coffee.
🎖️ The coffee we brewed that day was called "Oiran," having fruity and acidic flavors. To make it easier for beginners, the brewing method used was the "one knife flow."
Since it was my first time hand brewing coffee, my control of the water flow was pretty poor, so the taste of mine was definitely different from the teacher’s...
But it was really interesting, and I chatted with the owner for an entire afternoon. I also tried my hand at their cocktail DIY.
Overall, it’s a great place, and I hope that next time I come to Songgang on a business trip, this restaurant will still be around XD
Burned by style on IG and decided to check out the store.
🌟 Minimum spend: one drink, no outside food allowed, dining time 90 minutes.
“Sanmu Tarpu タープ” is located in the East District of Chiayi, focusing on a camping theme and specializing in curry rice.
A stand-alone gray building designed as a camping space outdoors, with white stones covering the ground, stainless steel barbecue grills, and camping chairs. The interior is arranged in a rectangular layout with an overall gray metallic tone. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and the skylight provide excellent lighting. One side features various camping chairs and tables, while the other side has metal dining tables. Even the utensils are made of camping-grade stainless steel (a bit heavier), creating an immersive atmosphere!
(The camping chair area truly replicates the feeling of being in a campsite; if comfort is a priority, they might want to install regular dining tables on the other side.)
The menu includes curry rice, desserts, drinks, and fried foods.
Pork Cutlet Curry 💰220
The pork cutlet is crispy and has a good chew, but the curry itself is quite ordinary and lacks a surprising element.
Outdoor Chicken White Soup 💰80
We all felt that the flavor was as bland as water, with a hint of pepper; surprisingly, it had a sharp taste at the moment, but I think it does reflect the camping experience well—having hot soup while camping is indeed comforting.
Honey Lemon Sparkling Soda 💰100
The drinks are all set at a fixed sweetness level, with a large capacity of 700cc. However, I personally feel this one might not have been mixed well, as it tasted like very mild flavored sparkling water—not particularly enjoyable.
Passionfruit Mango Sparkling Soda 💰100
Thoughts: The atmosphere is outstanding, the curry is average, and the soup lacks depth.
If you value the food: the fried items are good, the curry is average, and the soup could be improved.
If you value the environment: it’s exceptional with a fully immersive atmosphere.
If you care about parking: motorbikes can park at the entrance; cars should find a spot nearby.
If you care about the restroom: separate restrooms for men and women.
If you care about waiting times: quick service, almost no wait.
If you value service: the service is quite good.
If you care about cost-performance ratio: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This Greedy Coffee is part of the "Kuan Ge" restaurant series, and the meals sold at Kuan Ge are 80% the same menu as what I had eaten at Kuan Ge before. The store has drinks (including beer), snacks, pasta, pizza, etc.
This time I ordered "Sangang Pizza": the seasoning was good and there was a lot of seafood, but it was really salty and salty~ The crust of the pizza was so chewy and chewy, it was the most delicious crust I have eaten in recent times ✨, but it's a pity that it's on the outside The sides were a little too burnt (there were too many black parts, so I didn’t dare to eat them)
Love their cheese fries🍟$150
The cheese on top is very fragrant, and the fries are also very large. The CP value is very high. They are fried very crispy but not too greasy. This portion can be shared by 4 or 5 people.
The chicken wings are okay but too salty. I won’t order them next time.
The store dog is super cute! Very family 💖 I like the atmosphere of their store very much. This store is located in a hillside alley that looks like a small fishing village. The building itself is renovated from an old house. The decoration of the store is industrial style, and the environment is very comfortable and quiet.

🍽 Cilantro Dumplings 🅽🆃$140
The dumplings are pretty big~
The skin is Q, there are many fillings, and it tastes delicious!
A must-try for those who love coriander🌿
🍽 Guava Salted Wheat 🅽🆃$200
The original flavor tastes pretty good.

A cafe with lots of tasty looking cake.
Located in the Tropicana Gardens Mall so parking isnt too difficult. You could even take the train there.
The shop looked decent, with the best part being all the cakes and pastries on display. You order through a qr code provided and they will send the food to you.
Food came at a staggered pace, which was abit dissapointing.
Disclaimer that i didn't eat any of the carbs (keto diet).
The food was unfortunately dissapointing. The clams had a nice creamy sauce with the right amount of spiciness. The mantau according to my wife was good. I mean, its a classic food pairing. However, the clams weren't fresh and atleast 40% of the shells was empty.
The fried mushroom had too much batter (took out most of the batter) with not much taste. The sauce that came with it was nice though.
My wife enjoyed the milkshake so I guess its good.
With the quality of food being like this, i think they should be more of a cake shop. All the cakes and pastries look SOO Tempting!!! Escpiallly the chocolate cake 🤤 Unfortunately will have to wait for my diet to end before trying it.
Overall the main reason i am giving it 3 stars is because of the untasted sweets. Definately won't take their food.

🍰Yangzhi Nectar Thousand Layers 360
There are really many layers of mille-feuille. You have to be careful not to let it collapse when eating because the height is a bit high🤣. The creamy milk is full of flavor and has a delicate texture. The mango and grapefruit are full of it, which really matches the taste of Yangzhi Manlu. , the sweet and sour taste also makes the whole cake delicious, and the overall combination is perfect!
🍰Sesame White Jade Melaleuca 310
The combination of rich sesame cream and sesame mille-feuille is full of sesame flavor, and the combination of white jade and caramel crunch also adds to the taste, but the sweet taste is not suitable for eating too much. It is recommended to share it with friends. It will be fun!
🥗Summary Caesar Salad 220
When I first saw the price, I wondered why the salad was so expensive, but when it was served, I realized that the portion was really big🤣 and it was very delicious! It contains not only a variety of vegetables but also snapper fillets, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, Parmesan cheese and nuts. Especially the snapper fillets and chicken dipped in Caesar sauce are really delicious, even if you share them with friends. I still think the portion is huge and it’s very satisfying to finish eating!
🐷Taxiang Pork Bibimbap 190
The pig tart is rich in aroma, fragrant and spicy. It tastes very good with rice, but the spiciness is really strong. It is recommended to order it if you can eat spicy food🤣
🥭Mango Cloud Latte 200
The mango flavor is very rich, and there are fresh diced mangoes, which tastes very smooth!
🍹Plum wine American 200
It’s a cafe with a very retro decoration. It’s very enjoyable to enjoy desserts and savory dishes in the atmosphere of an old house. It’s easy to take pictures and very comfortable. This is my second time to come to this shop. I highly recommend their mille-feuille. Must order!
In addition to desserts, there is also a selection shop downstairs, which sells a lot of retro-style clothing and handmade accessories. If you like vintage clothes, you must check it out!
*When public holidays fall into holiday weeks, adjustments will be made flexibly, with IG’s limited-time updates being the main focus.

🔍2nd/3rd Floor, No. 75, Aisan Road, Renai District, Keelung City
Went on a weekend lunch timing. Parking is quite limited, with lots of people double parking. We parked at the housing area behind the restaurant.
Servers were friendly and we managed to get a place quick. However some of the food came out abit slow, though it may be due to making crepes fresh.
Quick Disclaimer that i am on a keto diet so am unable to try most items with sugar.
I had the roasted cajun chicken and strangers coffee. The chicken was really good. Very moist with crispy skin, without the oily feeling. It was also very well seasoned and arrived hot. The curly fries had a nice crispy texture, though i didnt try it.
The coffee also was pretty nice. It was a smooth mild flavour executed well.
There are many choicea of food with lots of desserts to choose from. Definately something for everyone.
Price is on the high side, but woth it.
Overall, definately will be back here. Hope to come when i am not dieting haha
This restaurant is when we go to the main restaurant,
In order to wait for my seat, I would like to come and have a drink first!
As a result, I unexpectedly discovered that there is a seafood restaurant behind this cafe~
The seafood restaurant in the back is doing very well~
In fact, the business of this coffee shop and pub is not bad...
The store is almost half full~
The service attitude of the store clerk is also very friendly!
We ordered the only red wine that can be purchased by the glass in the store
Red wine from Australia
The taste is actually very good and easy to drink!
It's a pity that there are no snacks that go well with it...
But because we are going to a very famous European restaurant next door~
So I didn’t have the opportunity to taste too many meals in the coffee shop~
Anyone who has the opportunity to go there is welcome to try it and have a look!
