Dickson's food blog update!
Although it's full of banter 🤪, it is definitely sincere and genuine 🥺.
This time, I visited a budget-friendly Italian and French cuisine little restaurant~
Located in a small alley on Xinyi Anhe, serving a variety of dishes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and the seating is spacious.
If you dine in the evening, you can see the... street directly from the glass area (?)
The staff has a good attitude and carefully introduces the characteristics and differences of each dish 👍.
Unfortunately, the flavors of the food are not particularly outstanding or memorable.
Not bad, but it's a pity that it's not particularly prominent 🥲.
It could also be because I didn't order the signature dish of the restaurant that day~ lasagna!!
That day, I ordered the classic set meal.
Appetizer 👉 Smoked salmon mousse
👉 It's just a basic platter of smoked salmon served with mousse.
Starter 👉 Pan-seared Hokkaido scallops
👉 Scallops cooked using a searing method, no particular highlights.
It's probably just the general scallop flavor that you can often find outside.
Main dish 👉 Confit duck leg
👉 This is probably the first highlight that I feel was good.
The meat of the duck leg is tender and easy to eat, not greasy, and smooth.
But the portion is a bit small~
Main dish 👉 Steak
👉 Just... an ordinary steak, nothing memorable or impressive... 🤯
Dessert 👉 Soufflé
👉 This is probably the best highlight of the day.
It has a cute and distinctive shape, and it tastes great 👍.
Overall, the food part of the set meal is considered average.
I might as well order the lasagna next time to see how amazing it is!

🤪🤪 Dickson's banter 🤪🤪
In this place with many mysterious restaurants and shops along Xinyi Anhe,
there's a little French kitchen~~
It's a pity that there are no breakthroughs in terms of flavor!
But since I was already in Xinyi Anhe,
combined with nearby bars,
it's OK to stop here for a bite!
Meeting up with a girl to eat lasagna and dessert first,
to warm up and fill our stomachs before heading out to drink nearby!
Or continue eating and drinking at a gastropub~~~
On that day, my itinerary indeed continued with the next stop at a gastropub after finishing here!
Just as I mentioned before,
dates require transitions~~~
You can't just stay at one place!
So where did I go next~~
To know the details, please wait for the next post! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This French restaurant, La Plage, is located in Wading River, in the northern part of Long Island. I originally wanted to choose the Duck Leg Confit. However, I still prefer roasted fish, especially roasted Mediterranean sea bass (which can be found at Costco). Comparatively, fish main courses seem to be more worthwhile.

On our last day in Vietnam we decided to try our luck online
Found this highly rated restaurant online
It turned out that the reservations online were already full.
But we didn’t want to give up so we called directly☎️
It just so happened that they had space available at the time we could.
When the gang was preparing to go there, it happened to be raining heavily in Vietnam.
But the man on the bus at the door still worked very hard to guide us.
After taking a seat in the restaurant, the waiter worked hard to introduce us in English.
There are many choices for meals. Finally we ordered
❤️Foie Gras
Basically, as long as this dish is on the menu, I never seem to miss it. I will definitely want to order it every time. The foie gras here is also very delicious ~ boiled pears are used to enhance the flavor of the foie gras. Umami! Combined with the 🍞bread below, the whole thing is very coordinated! It’s a highly recommended appetizer!
❤️Appetizing scallops
The scallops are slightly fried on both sides, and the degree is just right. The fresh scallops are not wasted, making the whole thing tough~ Caviar is added to the scallops, and apple strips and raisins are used to add a change in taste! With the combination of the surrounding sauces and the sweet and sour taste of the scallops, you can not only enjoy the umami flavor of the scallops, but also experience a harmonious combination of salty and sweet! It’s also an appetizer that I highly recommend~
❤️Salmon Avocado🥑
As the name suggests, it is a combination of raw salmon and avocado! This sauce tastes a bit like mango jam. It is paired with the freshness of salmon and the original taste of avocado, giving the whole dish a sweet and sour taste, adding to the texture!
❤️Flannel Steak + Thin Noodles
The selected part of the steak 🥩 is very soft and tender, without too much oil to affect the taste! We choose to cook it medium rare~~If you are afraid of blood, you can actually cook it a little bit more! But I personally like how soft and tender it is! They will also ask us if we want to cut the steak for me before serving it ~ I personally prefer to do it myself! But such considerate service is also worthy of praise!
❤️Salmon Filet
The salmon here can be paired with any sauce and surrounding side dishes you want! I chose a different passion fruit jam and... fried mushrooms and cauliflower 🥦 The salmon was fried just right ~ it was completely pink and not too dry ~ the important thing is that the quality of the fish is really great! Highly recommend the salmon here~
❤️Handmade ice cream🍦
It is said that their ice cream has different flavors every day! Actually, we couldn't taste what it tasted like today... but it tasted great! Great for clearing your mouth at the end
❤️Baked pudding
The caramelized surface of the pudding is super fragrant. When you hit it with a spoon, it matches the pudding body. The crispy and tender texture is super delicious! It's not too sweet at all...and the toasted pudding slowly spreads in your mouth! Perfect for wrapping up the evening!
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The service is great! The food is great - even the wine is great! But there are a lot of meal options and a lot of changes! Basically, there’s nothing that doesn’t taste good!
If you have the chance to come to Hanoi, you might as well give it a try!
A high-end French restaurant in the Tailu Lifestyle Mall in Qianzhen, Kaohsiung. It specializes in new-style French food fired directly by wood fire. All meals are developed by the chef. Real ingredients and prototype foods are used to present each meal.
The average price per person is around 2,700. If you occasionally indulge in luxury food, you get what you pay for. It is highly recommended for gatherings with friends, lovers, and couples on special holidays. It is definitely a very respectable restaurant.
Everything from the decoration to the meal service is of a high standard. The top of the Wagyu beef rump is very popular. It is medium rare and very tender and delicious! The quail side dishes are also super delicious. This is the first time I have eaten quail meat that is so good for my stomach. The chef really has two brushes.
Each of the ten meals in total amazes me. New dishes are changed every season. I am looking forward to the summer menu at the end of July and want to try it😋

I used to go to Huatai to eat joints, but this time I wanted to go to the third floor of the food court to see how the newly opened second floor is like. I found that the JK STUDIO next to it actually has a relatively cheap dinner at noon on weekdays (before 14:30). There were many business lunches, so I decided to take this opportunity to eat and see~
There were three main dishes in the business lunch that appealed to me, namely confit duck leg, Kavalan pork chop and rib-eye steak. Finally, my traveling companion chose the duck leg, and I chose the Kavalan pork chop recommended by many people on Google reviews. The business lunch includes the main course, a bun with salted butter, the soup of the day, an appetizer salad and a drink (Earl Gray tea or Americano coffee). The overall portion is not very large. Generally, boys are about 70% full after finishing the meal, because there is just a cake. 30% off, I also ordered some classic chocolate cake as a finishing touch~
All the meals are above average, but what I would like to mention in particular is probably the Kavalan Pork Chop as the main course, which is very amazing. The pork is cooked quite soft, and there is no pig smell. It is simply paired with Mustard seed sauce and rose salt, it is a main meal worthy of the price.
Confit duck legs are relatively ordinary, and it is difficult to eat elegantly with a knife and fork. If you are going on a date with an unfamiliar friend or partner, it is recommended to avoid this dish🤣
Just chocolate cake, chocolate cake, if there is a discount, you can order it.
Belgium has several lovely cities beyond its capital Brussels, and Ghent, where Du Progres is located, is one of them. The well-preserved medieval castle bell tower, combined with modern street trams, interweave old and new scenery to create a city with historical heritage and comfort that you can imagine. A city for people to settle in.
Waterzooi (chicken stew with vegetable cream) is a dish that originated in Ghent. The chicken itself does not have a strong flavor and is relatively dry. It feels like it should be chicken breast (? But it is still good to eat it with vegetables dipped in cream sauce. If the cream can be stewed with the chicken, it will be more delicious!
Stoverij varkenswangetjes (Stewed Pork Cheeks) The meat is quite soft when stewed, but I personally think the pork is a bit fishy. Fortunately, there is a plate of vegetables to relieve the greasiness.
Visvingers tartaarsaus (fish fillet with tartar sauce) is an appetizer, which is ordinary but not oily when fried. The appetizers are served very quickly, but the main meal has to wait for a long time. Fortunately, there is a fish fillet scene at this time😅
There are many beer brands to choose from, and they will also be paired with corresponding beer glasses. I like Jupiler the best. It tastes quite like Taiwanese beer (it also has a similar status in Belgium). It is refreshing, not bitter and very smooth~
Du Progres is located in the Grain Plaza. The location is easy to find, and the waiter’s attitude is also very good. The price is a bit expensive, but you can still come and experience it~

🔰First visit🔰
#dateRestaurant
Regarding the first date, choosing a restaurant is a detail that girls care about. Surprisingly, safety steakhouses are actually very unsafe. Maybe there are better choices.
During the meal that day, I asked the girl Pengpeng, how would you feel if a boy took you to this restaurant?
"I think this boy has good taste👍🏼"
I tried to imagine foreign languages speaking around me, looking out to the view of the infinity pool, the restaurant on the 10th floor of the International Hotel, foreign chefs interacting with every table of guests when visiting the restaurant, bright yellow lights and relaxed French style The food doesn’t feel like being in Taiwan.
As a promoter of emotional warmth, all details of the restaurant are subject to inspection.
French cuisine still has a very high-end impression in the minds of Taiwanese people. They like the chef to order a la carte in a relaxed and slightly larger portion, suitable for sharing, and the time and pressure will not be so great.
The bread of the day was well received. The mini baguette had the texture of focaccia and the Taiwanese flavor of mullet roe cream. All three girls ordered it again.
Wagyu tartare can be had in half or one portion. It tastes refreshing, but I don’t like it very much.
I had the Provence stew from "Ratatouille" and the mixed vegetable stew in some Michelin restaurants. This dish is originally a country dish, but at Seasons by olivier e. it has a more rural feel in southern France. The fish steak above is Pengpeng thinks it’s delicious😋
The charcoal grilled beef rib eye is smoked using a wooden box, and the visual effect is very eye-catching. I like the lava chocolate cake for dessert. It has a refreshing flavor that is less sweet and does not put any extra burden on the stomach.
The service staff were friendly, and the chef came out to greet everyone and take photos. A wonderful night was filled with extra point questions one after another.

It’s the famous Flora Cafe!
It's only a three-minute walk after exiting the subway station (Saint-Germain-des-Prés). Another famous Les Deux Magots cafe is also right next door. You can decide which one you want to go to👀
We came in the afternoon, and originally just wanted to have a croissant with coffee, but croissants were not available during this time, so we ordered a Jockey based on the blogger's recommendation. I have to say it’s really delicious. A slice of ham is placed on top of the crispy toast, then a layer of toasted cheese is added, and a half-boiled sun-cooked egg is added at the end. I’m a little hungry as I write this… I know all the ingredients. I understand the truth, but how do you do it so well (or is it actually a famous filter🫣)
There is also some Special Flore dark chocolate, which is not very sweet and tastes quite smooth.
Take points!
The water bottles and cups have the store name printed on them, so you should be able to buy related peripherals (the water bottles are so beautiful that they can also be used as vases🏺).
The price is actually a bit expensive, but it's not bad for three people to have some afternoon tea. If you plan to go shopping on Avenue Saint-Germain in your itinerary, you can stop for afternoon tea~
A 5-course set + Coke/coffee costs nearly NT$2,500
To be honest, it's not much cheaper than in Taiwan.
But price is not the point,
If it tastes delicious and amazing, then forget it, but the taste can only be said to be very ordinary.
We ordered fusion set meal and signature set meal for 2 each
The cold appetizer is the same smoked salmon cheese salad,
The layers are very rich, I like it very much
There will be a side of bread here, which can be refilled. The waiter asked us if we wanted butter.
(It’s just mediocre cream, so don’t expect anything)
The second signature is a bit like a creative version of ravioli
The upper and lower pieces of dough wrap the shrimps and scallops
The sauce has a thick soupy feel. If you have a strong taste, I recommend ordering this.
The fusion is like a rich Qiaoda soup with a bit of curry flavor.
The third dish of duck liver received unanimous negative reviews
Before serving, the waiter will keep asking if you want bread because this dish goes well with bread.
If you add it, won’t I get all-you-can-eat bread? If you want to save the bread, you can tell me in advance.
There are two set meals, one is chocolate sauce and the other is berries
It must be eaten with a bunch of sauce or salt/pepper
Otherwise it would be really smelly and fishy
Maybe that's why the waiter kept asking if he wanted bread :)
One main meal is very similar to beef stew, and the other is steak.
Did I say above that we order two portions each?
One funny thing is that my steak has a diamond pattern but does my friend’s steak have a diamond pattern?
Mine has a burnt smell (not the good kind)
I mentioned it halfway through the meal and realized that my friend’s didn’t taste burnt.
High-end restaurants are already dumbfounded when they serve this kind of food, and I don’t bother to talk nonsense to them.
Finally, I ate it with salt on it
The stewed rice on the side is quite to my liking (but it’s just a mediocre cheese mushroom stewed rice)
Desserts are pretty funny
Signature ice cream has blue sauce on it
We asked if this had any special flavor
The clerk said it was for coloring
Exactly... why... use blue... I don't understand.
It's ice cream + cream + tooth-sticking shortbread
Simply
I didn’t expect a restaurant with so many good reviews to taste like this
I really don’t understand any of the Michelin restaurants in Hanoi.
