春申食府

This was my first time dining at the company dinner in a private room. The minimum spending in the private room is not high; you can have a meal for less than $2000 per person. The downside is that when you first enter the basement, there is a smell of mold.

This time we ordered a full set menu, because we didn't reach the minimum spending for the private room, we also added some fried fish, sweet taro, and red bean pancakes.

The waitstaff serves each menu item as individual portions, which is very convenient. The sweet taro was delicious; the chef only selected the best parts. The stir-fried loofah was very sweet and tender; the owner said it might be loofah from Penghu. It was my first time tasting such fresh and sweet loofah. The bamboo shoots were also very tender; they must have intentionally picked the best parts. The stewed chicken soup also contained scallops, and the chicken was cooked until very soft, not tough at all. The grouper had no fishy taste and was very fresh and tasty. The dessert was mung bean cake, which wasn’t too sweet, and the red bean pancakes had mochi inside. They were delicious when served hot and had a fragrant sesame flavor.

Overall, I was very satisfied with both the meals and the service. The private room allowed us to chat freely without being disturbed, and the prices were reasonable. At the end, we wanted to take a group photo, and the waitstaff was very willing to help take pictures as per our request. The only regret was the moldy smell in the basement, and it was a bit chilly due to the air conditioning.
