This restaurant is actually considered an old brand of finding. It features an open kitchen that presents a European bistro style. Their introduction to T+T is interpreted as tapas tasting, representing a delicate and exquisite experience. When I got to know this restaurant, I learned that their set menu changes every month, and most of the dishes pair well with our Asian culinary culture, making the Michelin one-star rating absolutely well-deserved!
I specifically noted a few particularly impressive dishes, especially…
The classic and unbeatable
❤️ Oyster Noodle Soup
I’m not sure if that’s the real name, but this is a creative dish inspired by oyster noodle soup. Visually, it conveys the essence of the noodles, and the fried noodles wrapping the fresh oysters along with a garlic-flavored dipping sauce elevate this dish to another level! My friend said… if this dish is gone in the future, they would not return to T+T! This shows how important this classic dish is.
❤️ Wheel Cake
This dish is also a classic menu item in the restaurant; no matter how many times the menu changes, it still appears. The main flavor is truffle mushroom puree paired with duck liver, which has a very rich taste, combined with the enchanting aroma of truffle, making it a luxurious and delicious little wheel cake!
❤️ Main Dish - Lamb
If you don’t like lamb, you can actually switch to beef. However, I personally highly recommend this main dish because it has no strong lamb flavor, and the lamb is incredibly tender. Paired with a specially crafted sauce by the chef, I could eat as many pieces as I like!
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant 🍴 and after having the first experience, I would want to return to taste each seasonal menu. The dishes reflect the chef’s creativity, the service shows the staff’s dedication, and the overall design provides a great quality experience! I look forward to everyone sharing each seasonal menu with me!
On the 3rd floor of Aeon Mall Dream City, there's a fairly large Thai restaurant in the food court. They have three main dishes available. Make sure to confirm with the staff about vegetarian options. The stir-fried rice noodles have a sweet flavor, while the fried thin noodles are slightly spicy and I personally find them more delicious. The fried rice is quite bland, so I wouldn't recommend it! I personally don't like Thai rice, which is long and thin. 😂 The Thai milk tea can be ordered just right, not too sweet.
During a weekday lunchtime visit to Very Thai - Fuxing Branch, I was able to sit down without any reservation. The high triangular sloped roof decoration and pure white tabletops made the entire dining experience very comfortable, and I think Wacang has the edge in terms of food.
Dishes
The meal included:
Except for the moon shrimp cakes, the other dishes were super suitable for pairing with rice. Very Thai also uses Thai rice; the grains are long and distinct, making it delicious! (Not trying to compare too much! But I feel that the Thai rice from Wacang tastes a little bit better.)
Environment
The restaurant's Thai-style decor is quite atmospheric, with modern walls and furnishings. The high sloped roof gives it a spacious feel. The space is bright and roomy, with comfortable seating and soft lighting, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends. The Fuxing Branch is conveniently located near Zhongshan Junior High School Station on the MRT. The overall environment is clean and tidy, providing a comfortable experience.
Service
The servers were relatively friendly, but I don't have much of an impression of them. The dishes arrived at a good pace, in about 5-10 minutes, without making me wait too long. Although some dishes didn't quite suit my taste, the servers maintained a professional attitude.
I really love Indian naan. In the past, when I ate Indian curry, I always looked forward to having it with naan. I didn't expect to find so many types of naan, including fried and pan-fried versions, in Myanmar Street; it truly makes me very happy.
The environment is just average, but here you can find both baked naan and fried naan, with sweet and savory options available. Everything is freshly made to order, and it's best when it's hot out of the oven. Paired with a rich and flavorful Indian milk tea, it's truly a delightful experience.
A local restaurant bursting with Asian vibes, facing the street.
When I went just before noon on a weekday, there weren't any customers yet, but after 12 o'clock, it got crowded all of a sudden! It might be better to arrive a little earlier during lunchtime ⚠️
【Atmosphere inside the restaurant】
There's a casual, local feel where you can enjoy a meal easily. The prices are reasonable, making it accessible, and you can enjoy Vietnamese cuisine anytime!
【Food evaluation】
The sour soup allows you to choose from three types of noodles. As the name suggests, it's sour, but it was unexpectedly sour, and I choked on it when I slurped the noodles 😂 Once I got used to it, it was delicious, but you need to be careful, haha. There are plenty of vegetables and meat in the ingredients, and I was surprised to find pineapple in it. The noodle portion is generous, and it fills you up.
The fresh spring rolls also have a lot of vegetables in them. The price is affordable, so it's nice to be able to easily order them as a side dish!
Taiwanese Thai Cuisine is located on Fuhua 7th Street in Yongkang, Tainan. The decor is simple, with a touch of tropical flair, giving off a vibe of affordable exotic cuisine. This time, we ordered the Pepper and Chicken Bowl set, the Thai-style Chicken Nuggets special, and their signature Moon Shrimp Cakes.
The Pepper Chicken Bowl was ordered primarily because I didn't know what it was. It tastes like a version of the salty chicken from the night market, enhanced with peppercorn and a sour flavor. Overall, it was surprisingly good. The chicken thigh meat was tender, and the white rice paired well, but at 180 NT dollars for the set, the price is a bit steep.
The Thai Chicken Nuggets offer much better value for money. This set is 120 NT dollars and also includes soup and simple side dishes, but the chicken surpassed expectations. The skin was crispy, and the inside was juicy, complemented by a sweet and sour sauce, making it feel somewhat like a Southeast Asian version of KFC.
Finally, the Moon Shrimp Cakes were the best dish of the meal. The pastry was crispy, and the shrimp filling was substantial, paired excellently with their sauce. The portion was not large, but still acceptable.
Overall, it’s a decent restaurant. Dishes like the Pepper Chicken Bowl are innovatively flavored but overpriced, but the performances of the chicken nuggets and shrimp cakes were impressive. If I visit again, I might try more of their fried dishes or soups.
Hidden in the alley at the intersection of Neiweilu and Gushan Road, the Black Dog Eatery is a signless little restaurant serving Singaporean cuisine. It’s not only low-key but also hard to book a table, making it a true "hidden gem" of alleyway delicacies.
Once you step inside, you’ll feel the warm yet slightly mysterious atmosphere. The black dog will happily wander around and may even sit down by your table to watch you 🐶.
📌 Signature Laksa Claypot Noodles (Shrimp/Chicken) $220
The Laksa Claypot Noodles at Black Dog is a classic dish not to be missed. The broth is rich and creamy; although the coconut milk ratio isn’t high, it’s smooth and well-blended with spices and umami. The fried noodles soak up the broth, offering a distinct texture and a wonderfully flavorful experience.
📌 Dinosaur Milo (I) $85
This drink is a "must-order" at every table! The Milo is rich but not overly sweet, with a smooth texture that pairs perfectly with the main dishes. One sip is satisfying and refreshing, instantly energizing you.
📌 Kaya Toast (with thick butter) $75
One of the soul foods of Singaporean cuisine! Black Dog’s Kaya Toast is lightly toasted for a slightly crispy exterior, filled generously with kaya spread and rich butter. The balance of savory and sweet, melting in your mouth, makes the unique aroma of kaya so enticing that you just can't stop at one bite!
Overall Evaluation
Although the prices at Black Dog Eatery are slightly on the higher side, the portions are substantial, and each dish is full of character, making it a restaurant worth visiting again and again! Whether you want to experience authentic Singaporean flavors or simply enjoy delicious food, this place will not disappoint you. Next time you find yourself near the alleys of Neiweilu and Gushan Road, remember to book in advance and personally enjoy this "Singapore in an alley"!
I checked out the nostalgia of many National Chengchi University graduates for this restaurant's spicy chicken rice. Interestingly, the menu lists it as a "Taiwanese item" rather than Thai, and this place is a Taiwanese + Indonesian restaurant!
Once inside, you place your order at the counter, ring the bell, and pay up. Your meal arrives quickly.
The coating on the spicy chicken has a unique savory spice blend, which makes it particularly appetizing. The chicken itself is tender, no surprise there. The dry, fried style is indeed quite similar to Taiwanese fried chicken, and the mildly spicy, slightly salty sauce really tastes good.
The portion for this meal includes three side dishes and two bowls of rice, perhaps catering to the needs of university students?
This restaurant doesn't seem to be highly recommended online. It was unexpectedly found by my friend. After looking at the introduction, I thought it was quite nice, and I managed to make a reservation online smoothly. Thankfully, I booked in advance because the place was actually fully booked!
As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are immediately attracted by the aroma of grilled food. It's not greasy; instead, it's a charm that opens up your taste buds! After directly ordering via QR code, the chefs will showcase their culinary skills right in front of you.
I ordered many side dishes, but I highly recommend…
❤️ Yum Som-O
This dish has a base of pomelo with Thai shrimp on top! It's complemented by a local shrimp paste, resulting in a flavor that is sour and salty with a hint of spiciness. It can be a very unique appetizer!
❤️ Grilled Pumpkin with Massaman
Pumpkin combined with curry sauce and Thai condiments provides a flavor reminiscent of coffee sauce and miso. I usually enjoy steaming pumpkin as it’s sweet, but this little creative twist made the pumpkin's texture much richer!
❤️ Coconut Pancake & Grilled Shrimp with Southern Style Curry Sauce
This is my favorite dish! The coconut pancake has a filling similar to mochi in the center and is incredibly fragrant! The shrimp on top has some crushed pomelo, creating a perfect experience with a lot of textures and flavors in each bite.
❤️ Doughnut with Pork Curry
What’s special about this is that the bread is really doughnut dough! Paired with the pork, I'm quite impressed with the chef's imagination!
❤️ Aunglo's Moo-Ping [Grilled Pork]
This dish is also super tasty! The pork is perfectly grilled and infused with flavor. There’s even a raw egg yolk underneath! Mixing it all together makes it melt in your mouth—absolutely delicious! If you're coming here and don’t order too much, I personally think this dish is a must-try!
Overall, if I return to Bangkok, I would like to try other items because the chef's creativity is excellent, the flavors are rich, and the taste buds are fully satisfied. It’s even visually interesting, and the prices are really sweet! I highly recommend this restaurant—hopefully, everyone will get a chance to try it!
It was a very popular Thai restaurant even on a weekday!
I recommend it because you can enjoy Thai cuisine at a reasonable price. 🇹🇭
【Atmosphere of the Restaurant】
As soon as I walked in, I noticed the unique smell (of Thai cuisine?)! It might be a bit much for those who are not accustomed to it, so be cautious! There are large tables for groups and smaller tables for 1 or 2 people, making it an easy place to enter.
【Food Evaluation】
We went with five people this time, so we were able to share and try various dishes! My favorites were the fried pork and the sweet and sour soup! Personally, I wanted to try Massaman curry, but it wasn't on the menu, so I enjoyed coconut curry instead. The curry had chicken in it but lacked other ingredients, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
【Overall Evaluation】
The prices are quite reasonable, so I personally recommend going with a larger group to share and try different dishes rather than going with just a few people! Even someone like me, who isn’t great with spicy food, enjoyed it, so I think anyone can casually enjoy Thai cuisine! ✨
