心潮飯店 SINCHAO RICE SHOPPE
Location: Taipei Xinyi
Michelin Plate-rated restaurant
Made a reservation with friends in advance
Went with great expectations
🌟 American Rib-eye Fried Rice
As soon as the dish arrived, we thought it was definitely worth photographing.
It's completely a photo-worthy dish.
The rib-eye steak on top is indeed very eye-catching.
It’s reasonably tender and not hard to chew or unappetizing.
The fried rice is fragrant, with a touch of wok hei.
But honestly, given the steep price,
it felt like the fried rice wasn't as distinctive as expected.
Seems like you could get this level of fried rice at a regular stir-fry place.
Personally, I was a bit disappointed.
🌟 Fried Soft Shell Crab with Salted Egg Yolk and Roselle Sauce
Originally worried that the fried soft shell crab with salted egg yolk would be too greasy,
but the sauce with roselle added a perfect finishing touch,
bringing a refreshing twist to the otherwise richly flavored dish.
🌟 Grilled Scallops and Mullet Roe Fried Rice
The scallops on top were grilled,
and you could tell they were sashimi-grade, very fresh and sweet.
However, the mullet roe flavor in the fried rice was extremely faint
and lacked a strong presence.
Overall, it was still quite palatable.
🌟 Stir-fried Water Lotus with Pine Nuts
This dish seemed the most ordinary.
It lacked the wok hei in the stir-fried water lotus,
and the seasoning was rather bland.
Many Taiwanese stir-fry places do this dish tastier.
🌟 Signature Mung Bean Puff Tiramisu
This is my top favorite among all the dishes.
They labeled it as ‘signature’ probably because it is truly delicious 🤣
The texture of the mung bean puff blends perfectly into the tiramisu,
incredibly tasty
without any sense of discordancy.
It gives this global dessert a Taiwanese flair.
Highly recommended! It's an absolute must-order dish!
The restaurant seems to specialize in cocktails,
but the next day was a workday, so we didn’t drink.
Since dishes that pair with drinks usually need to complement alcohol,
normally the seasoning in a gastro-bar’s food wouldn't be mild,
which is why I wouldn't highly recommend this place.
But the dessert was really amazing,
recommended for those who get tired from shopping to drop in for some sweet treats 😏😏
