Today, I enjoyed the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice, which is incredibly delicious and comes with a honey glaze, priced at 110 NTD. Guangdu Roast Meat is located on Jinlong Road in Neihu, near the Neihu MRT Station, which is fairly deep into Neihu.
The name "Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice" is ridiculously long, to the point where you'll laugh when ordering. Interestingly, the price isn’t the highest on the menu. As for the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg, the chicken leg itself is indeed quite tasty. The sweet and salty flavor of the honey glaze combined with the perfectly thick, tender meat truly lives up to the name of being incredibly delicious. The spring onion salt sauce that accompanies it is also quite nice.
The side dishes are self-selected; I chose cabbage, kelp, and black pepper king oyster mushrooms. Other than the cabbage being appropriately fresh and savory, the other two dishes were frankly unimpressive. The rice's texture was rather subtle—I felt it was a bit too moist and soft.
The soup was a standard mixed meat soup.
Overall, the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice is definitely worth trying. However, the subtle performance of other aspects may affect my willingness to revisit.
I recommend it to everyone.
Dian Ba Cantonese Restaurant is located in the alleys of the Eastern District in Taipei City, with the nearest MRT station being Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, Exit 4, about a 2-minute walk away. Dian Ba specializes in Cantonese cuisine and offers exquisite Hong Kong-style dim sum. The Zhongxiao branch is the second store opened by Dian Ba this November. The Dian Ba group also includes Dian 8 and Dian Ba Snacks, totaling three brands.
The restaurant has a large number of seats, with two seating areas: front and back. Most are four-person tables, and the back area features large round table private rooms. The decor style is modern and refined, unlike typical Chinese restaurants, with a low-saturation aesthetic of white, brown, and gray, popular among social media influencers.
Ordering is done by scanning a QR code with your phone, and payment is made after the meal. Cash and credit cards are accepted, and there is a service charge.
Today, we ordered quite a few dishes, and my thoughts are written below the photos ⬇️
Overall, the food quality is quite good, service, and speed of serving are average. Considering this new and spacious place in the Eastern District, it justifies the price (about 20% higher for the decor? 🤣), but I probably won’t come often due to my budget constraints.
The traditional Cantonese method of making pure rice paper is passed down and made fresh on the spot. Steamed healthily and deliciously, with less salt and oil, allowing everyone to enjoy tasty and healthy rice rolls is what the shop strives for, and it's really great and delicious.
Every time, it’s fresh shrimp and fresh oysters plus more shrimp, all fresh and large. The soft and chewy rice rolls, combined with a bit of vegetables and egg, are finally drizzled with the shop's homemade sauce and a finishing touch of chili—it's truly very delicious.
It’s so good that I directly bought the shop's homemade chili. Next time, I want to try the red oil dumplings that were sold out today.
Located in the Gongguan business district, this restaurant was formerly known as Hong Kong Lung Kee Fast Food. There were two very authentic Hong Kong-style stir-fry places in Gongguan, but one of them has already closed, leaving only this one.
I really have to say that the only downside of this restaurant is that payment can only be made in cash; otherwise, I can't think of any other shortcomings.
The satay beef fried rice is slightly on the salty side, but the portion is very generous. As a guy, I almost couldn't finish it. I think they've cooked the beef really well; it blends perfectly, and the rice grains are distinct!
The scrambled egg beef rice is also a bit salty, but the scrambled eggs are definitely not just any ordinary dish. The yolk content feels quite high, and when paired with the rice, it’s very smooth and enjoyable. However, I personally feel that the portion of rice in this dish is a bit small, so I recommend ordering extra rice.
The side dishes are also very generous in portion, and they taste quite good. If there are two or more people dining together, it's definitely worth a try.
Overall, although the dining environment is quite crowded, the turnover rate is high, and everyone eats quickly haha 😂. If you avoid the peak dining times, you won’t have to wait too long. If you’re in Gongguan, I recommend checking this place out!
I haven't had Hong Kong-style cuisine in a long time, and it just so happens that there's a restaurant at the Fuhai Resort Hotel in Kaohsiung. If I hadn't eaten there, I wouldn't have known how amazing it is. Of course, it may have been adjusted to suit Taiwanese tastes to some extent.
The roasted duck is absolutely fantastic. The duck skin is crispy and fragrant, while the meat is incredibly tender with just the right amount of sweetness. For the mouth-watering chicken, the chicken meat is equally tender, paired with the sweet and sour mouth-watering sauce, which truly makes you want to keep taking another bite.
As for the lo mein, I haven't had many that I enjoyed in Taiwan, but this restaurant's lo mein is slightly wetter, which I think aligns better with Taiwanese preferences. The shrimp-flavored stir-fried cabbage might be the best I've had in recent years; I believe the quality of the cabbage plays a significant role. The cabbage used is very plump and naturally sweet, and combined with the shrimp paste, it’s incredibly delicious.
Since the restaurant is located in the hotel, the space is very spacious and can also be used as a banquet hall, so I highly recommend coming here with a big group of friends!
Braces User Review: There are plenty of sinks at 101, and I even saw a lot of people brushing their teeth. 😂 This is a newly opened Hong Kong-style tea restaurant at the 101 Food Court. We lined up before 11 a.m. to try it out, ordering three set meals and three croissant egg tarts. Here are the dishes we had:
The total amount was NT$999.
First, we tasted the stall-style Char Siu Scallion Oil Mixed Noodles, which were on the salty side. The char siu was mediocre and had to be eaten with water; you even needed to tilt the plate to drain the excess sauce. Next was the Malicious Double-Eye Pork Chop Rice, which had decent ribs served with two soft-boiled eggs, but the scallion oil was still slightly salty. The Macau Pork Chop with Instant Noodles was also salty, so it's no surprise the accompanying soup was bland. The side dish of black fungus was average, and the pineapple bun was decent. Lastly, the croissant egg tart was nothing particularly impressive.
Overall, this experience was less than ideal, and I probably won't revisit.

Authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant ☕️ can be found in Canada!
I was thrilled when I found out about this restaurant near the hotel. I truly have an Asian palate; when I'm abroad, I don't crave burgers and fries. Instead, I like to seek out various types of Chinese, Japanese, Hong Kong, and Vietnamese cuisine.
The restaurant opens as early as 8 AM, making it one of the earliest to open in this area. The seating inside is in booth style, and the overall decor is very "Hong Kong." The walls are covered with colorful menus, and there's an abundance of green tables and chairs. This seemingly nostalgic, chaotic yet somehow orderly style is very characteristic of Hong Kong and doesn’t make you feel like you’re abroad. The staff are all from Hong Kong and are fluent in Chinese communication. 👌
✨ The breakfast menu is available until 12 PM!
This time, the four of us ordered four sets, which are:
Detailed thoughts are shared in the images. Overall, the dim sum part of the menu outshines the soups and noodles! The pineapple bun, in particular, is baked to a perfectly crispy texture, very fragrant and delicious, definitely a must-order. 👍
The portion of a set meal is enough to fill up a man, and a bit too much for a woman. Since our meal times are irregular while traveling, we treated one meal as two, ordering more than usual. You can make your own judgment based on this.
🥤 The milk tea and coffee are very rich and authentic. It's recommended to order hot drinks to better appreciate their richness. Previously, in Hong Kong, hot drinks didn’t have sugar added, but here they do, so you can drink them directly.
💁 Regarding service, online reviews mentioned rude attitudes, but on the day we visited, it seemed okay. The staff were just a bit reserved, but it didn’t negatively impact our dining experience.
The diners there are all Chinese, which really gives you the feeling of being in Hong Kong. This delicious and authentic Lido Restaurant is highly recommended to everyone!
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we went to celebrate my grandmother's birthday at a restaurant. As soon as we entered, it was quite dark, and we were immediately led to a private room, not entirely sure if there were any dining areas inside. We had pre-ordered some dishes, and once we were seated, the food was served very quickly.
Each dish was above standard! The salt and pepper ribs were savory and flavorful, the crispy fish skin was crunchy without being greasy, and the tofu pancakes were moist and delicious!
Later, we added some side dishes, and the rice rolls had a rich texture! The shrimp fillings were all very fresh~ The spicy oil dumplings were substantial, and the sauce was well-prepared! I was so full, but I couldn’t resist eating the turnip cake and fried rice! For the birthday, we were given longevity peaches, and for the Mid-Autumn Festival, we received custard mooncakes, both of which were quite nice!
Overall, the service was friendly and thoughtful, and we had an enjoyable dinner.
"Add Food" is located in the Sanmin District of Kaohsiung, and it can be considered a Cantonese-style fusion restaurant. Although I can’t quite pronounce the third character in the restaurant's name ("埊") 😆. This time, we ordered a few dishes, and they performed quite well, especially the Peppery Fish, Spiced Garlic Ribs, and Kung Pao Chicken; the flavors are unique and have more layers compared to typical fusion restaurants.
The Peppery Fish has a crispy exterior and tender interior, with just the right amount of spiciness—not overly stimulating but enough to enhance the flavor. The Spiced Garlic Ribs are rich in aromatic spices, and the pairing of garlic aroma with the tenderness of the meat is excellent, making you want to take bite after bite. The Kung Pao Chicken has a well-balanced sweet and spicy flavor, leaving you wanting more rice with each mouthful. All these dishes are thoughtfully crafted with distinctive flavors.
As for the Black Salted Egg Bun, it is exquisitely shaped, and the filling is sweet and smooth, though the price is slightly on the higher side.
Although the restaurant has high ratings online, it seems to be a five-star restaurant running on delivery service 😆, but the actual eating experience did not disappoint. I almost forgot to mention that their portion sizes are actually quite small; there’s a photo comparing it to a palm. The meals themselves are indeed of a certain standard, suitable for enjoying these uniquely flavored dishes with friends or family. Overall, it’s not bad, a bit pricey, but worth trying.
The honey-glazed char siu was quite tender, but the siu mai didn't taste very good. Overall, the flavor of the meal was quite ordinary, lacking anything particularly impressive. The most memorable item would probably be the restaurant's signature 192-layer puff pastry egg tart! The egg tart was really quite delicious, with a very crispy outer shell and a fragrant filling. It is definitely a must-order item when coming here.
