#Keimi Tasty Café Taichung Gongyi Store
There wasn't anything particularly special about the dishes that I could share. The snowfish burger I ordered was 2.5 times larger than that from fast food restaurants, but the ingredients and the snowfish were just average. Essentially, the bread was larger to give you a satisfying amount of starch, along with a little more cabbage and salad dressing. As for the large latte I ordered, it wasn't really that big (about 400cc?); please forgive my limited capacity perception. Here are the main points about the store:
The environment is serene, with a Japanese style; the all-wood decor gives a relaxing feel, and there are power outlets available at the seats, making it suitable for freelancers to create in peace.
No wonder I often saw a sign directing queue directions outside the store, yet there never seemed to be anyone in line!
#Average spend $396
📍Japan, Osaka Namba
Founded in 1922, it is said to be the origin of Japanese omelette rice.
This omelette rice is quite a well-known and popular delicacy, with multiple branches, and this time we visited the main store.
The exterior has a very old-fashioned style, reflecting traditional Japanese charm. You need to wear slippers inside, and the seating area has tatami mats. Amid the bustling Namba, this place offers a sense of tranquility. 😍
In addition to quite a few Taiwanese customers, many Japanese people also come to dine here.
🥘
Menu Items:
🍛 Fried Pork Cutlet Curry Omelette Rice (¥1,680):
The menu includes English, Korean, and Chinese translations.
The size of the cutlet is not big, and the meat is very firm, with a crispy batter.
The curry sauce is not too thick, maintaining a basic curry flavor without overpowering the taste of the omelette and rice.
🐂 Beef Stew Omelette Rice (¥1,380):
I really like the omelette rice here! It truly is the essence of this restaurant.
The thin omelette outer layer encases rice that is quite simple, with a hint of butter or beef tallow aroma. The rice is light in color and not overly seasoned, but it is very fragrant and delicious!
The beef sauce is a bit watery with a small amount of beef, and the flavor is not strong, allowing the aroma of the omelette rice to shine through.
🍄
Would I visit again? Yes!
I really want to eat here again the next day, especially since I haven't tried their signature tomato 🍅 flavor yet.

#Yingge
I’m back at the Yingge food plaza for a meal!
It's really convenient here.
There are quite a few delicious restaurants.
The seating area is spacious and comfortable, and there are restrooms available.
The environment is okay as well.
Today, I’m here to try the very popular Takuan Japanese cuisine.
What I wanted to try the most is the tempura rice bowl.
The fried items include shrimp, chicken, fish, and some fried vegetables.
The rice is topped with smooth egg, making it very appetizing.
The star, the tempura, performed excellently.
The batter is fried just right—crispy without being greasy.
The texture of the shrimp is chewy.
The chicken is juicy and not dry.
The fish is quite tender.
The portions are generous.
Remember to pair it with the restaurant's tempura dipping sauce—it really helps cut through the greasiness. 👍
Mixed fried vegetables mainly consist of shredded onions, shredded carrots, and some green beans.
I felt that the fried vegetables were a bit heavy.
If shared among several people, having one or two bites each is okay.
But eating it all by yourself can get quite greasy. 😅
Overall, the dining experience was quite good.
The tempura is really delicious,
and the prices are affordable.
I will definitely come back next time to try the noodles.
The meals at Tao Ban Wu are hard to go wrong with and the prices are reasonable. It’s the top choice for family gatherings and a must-choose restaurant for birthday month. You can download the Wang Pin Feng Mei Shi app, and during your birthday month, you'll receive an 88% discount voucher for set meals.
The baked beef with fresh vegetables and Windsor sauce is very refreshing. The lily bulb beef soup is lightly sweet. The grilled steak paired with our delicious onion sauce has a strong flavorful onion sauce that goes perfectly with the steak.
The sauce-braised king oyster mushrooms can be considered a signature dish! It hasn’t been swapped out from the menu for a long time, XD!
Recommendations:
🚩Yulon City Food Street Curry Restaurant has a new stall and still has room for improvement.
Curry Curry opened in September this year at Yulon City Eslite Living's B1 food street, serving curry made with Indian spices but presented in a Japanese Western cuisine style. Originally, this stall featured Indian cuisine (I was planning to have their curry with naan), but unexpectedly, after a year of operation, it was replaced by another brand by the same operator, although the main dishes still focus on curry, with Curry Curry additionally offering pasta as an option.
There are many seats in the B1 food street, but the seating areas are somewhat scattered, so it's advisable to find a seat first during busy times before ordering. Orders and payments are made at the counter, with cash and various payment methods accepted. Collect a vibrating buzzer and wait for your number to be called before picking up your order.
Today's meal review:
Chicken curry rice: The chicken portion was not very generous, and the curry sauce was rather thin. The taste was quite average; overall it was bland and not particularly delicious, but you can add rice and extra curry sauce.
Croquettes: They seemed freshly fried, so they were hot, filled with corn and mashed potatoes. The seasoning was on the sweeter side, and the texture was very soft.
Drinks: There are refills, with four options available. I appreciate the unsweetened green tea, but all options were quite watery.
The staff at the newly opened restaurant were very friendly, kindly helping with extra rice and asking customers to leave positive reviews on Google Maps. However, I personally feel that the seasoning of the dishes could still improve, and the quality isn’t stable enough. I will observe how long this restaurant can last going forward.
I really love their pancakes in Taipei ❤️
Although sometimes they get cooked too much (?
The fluffy texture in the middle disappears QAQ
I was super happy to hear they were opening in Hsinchu
Finally, I don't have to go back to Taipei to eat them
On weekends, you definitely have to make a reservation
Or be among the first to wait in line
Otherwise, you'll basically have to wait at least an hour
On weekday afternoons, we happened to find seats available on site
There are a lot of meal options
I always struggle with what to eat QAQ
I want to eat everything
Pan-fried beef short rib curry rice
The curry is on the sweeter side
If the curry isn't enough, there's a small bowl on the side you can add more
The omelette is delicious
Honey ice cream pancake
I always have to order this when I come
On top is vanilla ice cream
The pancake has a fluffy texture
A small downside is that the pancakes take longer to make fresh
Cotton candy ice cream pudding
The ice cream on top tastes like a mix of strawberry, vanilla, and soda
The pudding has a firm texture
The base isn't too sweet
It also comes drizzled with brown sugar sauce
Perfect for someone with a sweet tooth
This place, 🔸Woosa Western-style Pancakes🔸, is located on the second floor of Far East Sogo. On weekends, you might have to wait around 50 minutes for a table.
✅ Tomato Seafood Pasta 🍝
The portion size is just right. The tomato sauce is rich in flavor, and there are quite a few seafood pieces. However, there was a clump of noodles that got stuck together and couldn’t be separated. 😅
✅ Classic Radish Puree Hamburger Steak
When it was first served, I had a bad feeling. The portion was very small, not enough for a guy to feel full. The hamburger steak tasted a bit dry.
✅ Daily Soup - Creamy Corn Soup
The flavor is not bad, and there is a lot of corn in it.
✅ Aged Fruit Oolong Tea 🍵
The oolong tea is strong and has a slightly astringent taste, but it also has a pleasant aftertaste. Personally, I quite like it, but my friend, who doesn’t drink tea often, found it too bitter. Adding some lemon juice helped reduce the bitterness a bit.
✅ Mont Blanc Ice Cream Pancake
Their most famous dish is the pancake. The pancakes are indeed very soft, resembling soufflés, but they have a slight eggy taste. Pairing it with Angus sauce (vanilla sauce) can mask that somewhat.
Overall, I feel that the quality does not match the price point, but it is a suitable restaurant for families of all sizes. However, many families with small babies and young children made the environment noisy to the point that I had to raise my voice just to hear my friends. Although it’s not the restaurant's fault, this significantly affected my first dining experience.
🥞 Woosa Western-style Pancakes - Woosa Western-style Pancake House, Kaohsiung Dayuanbai Store
Located on the second floor of Kaohsiung Dayuanbai
It feels like the customers who come here are quite fashionable✨
This time, they had a promotion where adding them as a LINE friend gets you a free honey ice cream pancake
You still need to order any meal as a minimum spend‼️
I ordered a pot of fragrant apple, apricot, and peach blossom fruit tea (hot) to go with the dessert
Woosa specializes in soufflé pancakes
The thickness combined with being freshly made and hot is really comforting to eat🤤
Soft, fluffy, and melting in your mouth feels so blissful❤️
The ice cream had small crunchy ice bits that felt particularly cold
Not friendly for sensitive teeth❌
It's just regular vanilla ice cream, but I found it a bit too sweet
And I don’t think it pairs very well with the pancakes
Because pancakes are best enjoyed hot
Having ice cream that's cold feels a bit odd 🤔
Paired with the hot tea I ordered felt just right
The fragrant apple, apricot, and peach blossom fruit tea should be unsweetened
With just a light floral and fruity sweetness
It balances out the richness of the pancakes
If you come for a meal, there are savory options to choose from
Previously, I ordered a hamburger steak, and I thought it was quite good
But the price compared to the portion felt a bit high
I think ordering pancakes with a drink is more cost-effective
It depends on what type of meal you want to enjoy
I think the dishes all have a certain standard
But there’s a 10% service charge + a 2-hour dining limit
It’s not the kind of place where you can linger and chat for a long time during afternoon tea
This aspect is subjective~
🌄 Next to Aso Volcano, a rest time surrounded by mountains at Kusasenrigahama～
When we visited Kusasenrigahama, it happened to be around noon, so we ate at the adjacent restaurant. The overall environment was bright, clean, and spacious, and we could see the expansive mountain view outside the window, which was quite comfortable.
Considering it was a restaurant near a tourist spot, the prices were relatively affordable. There were many food options, including pizza and hamburgers, and ordering through a tablet was very convenient as it displayed pictures of all the dishes.
As for the taste, it was quite ordinary; the food probably used a semi-prepared cooking method, so there shouldn’t be too many expectations. If you can hold off on eating and grab some snacks nearby, it might not be necessary to dine here.
Visit the popular pancake shop at Taipei's Beijing Station - Woosa Western Style House Pancake Shop
Here, I’d like to share the promotions we have:
Two servings of pancakes + one drink + one serving of fried chicken for a total of $572
(Note: The bill hasn't deducted the price for one serving of pancakes yet.)
Everyone, make sure to add Woosa as a friend!
You'll receive a free "honey pancake" on weekdays when you order.
So for this meal for two (dine-in has a minimum spending requirement),
each person can enjoy one pancake complemented with fried chicken 🤤
Fried Chicken 🍗
I think the portion is decent,
with 4-5 large pieces.
However, I find the taste just okay,
the chicken flavor is a bit strong 😂
Squeezing some lemon makes it better~
But the skin is quite crispy.
Honey Pancake 🥞
Woosa’s pancakes are really fluffy and delicious,
paired with vanilla ice cream and honey sauce.
So indulgent but so tasty!
Mango Pancake 🥭
The mango pancake comes with mango sauce,
and mango ice cream ~
Also very delicious 🤤
But you can add some honey sauce for even more flavor!
Overall, I think Woosa pancakes are really tasty 😍
It's quite suitable for a gathering of sisters to enjoy afternoon tea and chat here.
But I find the fried chicken just average 🤣
