Dickson's Fooday Review #215

This time I want to introduce a café located upstairs on Chifeng Street near Zhongshan Station.
Even though it's a café, we visited quite late in the day and noticed a very cute hotdog burger on their sign.

Since I happened to be craving a hotdog burger, I decided to head upstairs to check it out! 🤣🤣

Because it was getting late and close to closing time, most items other than the hotdog burger were no longer available, leaving only takeout options.

However, I just wanted to try their hotdog burger, so I quickly ordered one!

From the pictures, you can see that the hotdog burger looks quite appetizing, including the uniquely colored bread.

After eating it, I found it to be really delicious!
As seen on the menu, this café has quite a variety of hotdog burgers.

Although I only ordered one flavor that day, I definitely want to try other flavors next time I pass by—they all look amazing!

Additionally, although I didn't dine in, I took some time to explore the café while waiting for my hotdog burger. The interior decor has a strong American style with a humorous and cute touch.

I can imagine how charming this place must be during the day!
I might return during daylight hours to try some drinks and enjoy my hotdog burger more.

For those who usually have a soft spot for hotdog burgers, make sure to visit the hotdog burger shop upstairs on Chifeng Street near Zhongshan Station, and pair it with their other drinks while enjoying the cute decor and various American styles—it must be delightful!

👉 Mexican-Style Chili Hotdog Burger $$160
That day, since I was only looking to order one hotdog burger, I went with this Mexican-style chili hotdog burger. As someone who's been to Mexico a few times, I was particularly tempted to order something Mexican in Taiwan!
Even though this hotdog burger didn’t really taste like it had any connection to Mexico, 🤣🤣🤣

I can say that the hotdog burger was truly tasty!
Although the bread looks black, the hotdog itself and the sauce on top complemented each other very well, making it quite delicious!

Next time, I definitely want to try other flavors of hotdog burgers!

👉 Drinks Section
That day, as it was already too late, the café was nearing closing time, so they did not offer any drinks to order.

👉 Atmosphere Section
Although the café is located on the second floor, you can already see some of its signage from the first floor. The shop looks very interesting from just the sign.

It has a very American hip-hop vibe that makes you want to go check it out. I only found out they sold hotdog burgers after seeing the sign! 🤣

Attracted by the hotdog burger, I headed upstairs, and the interior space once there was quite impressive, almost like stepping into an American fast food restaurant.

The menu on the walls of the second floor is mostly in English, and there are a variety of hotdog burgers available. The background music inside is also very American in style, which must create a chill vibe during the day!

There are plenty of American-style magazines or books displayed in the café, radiating with an abundance of American flair!

👉 Service Section
That day, even though it was close to closing time, they were still willing to prepare at least a takeout hotdog burger for us. I really appreciate the café for making us this delicious hotdog burger before closing!

👉 Price Section
Based on the menu, the hotdog burgers here range from about $150 to $170. I feel that considering its deliciousness, this price is quite reasonable!

The menu also includes some breakfast platters and other drink options, all at quite normal and reasonable prices.

It's perfect for meeting up with friends and grabbing a hotdog burger for breakfast!

👉 Location Section
The café is located on the very bustling Chifeng Street near Zhongshan Station, but since it’s on the second floor, you might need to keep your eyes peeled for the sign.

However, because the storefront has a very eye-catching color, I’m sure anyone passing by would notice it.

The area is quite lively, making it perfect to wander around the nearby Zhongshan Market or grab a bite in the Chifeng Street area.

You can enjoy a hotdog burger as a snack, or come to have some drinks!

⭐️ Overall
I personally think this hotdog burger place is incredibly tasty, and it seems to specialize in hotdog burgers. I was amazed by the variety they offered!

It really makes you want to try every flavor.
The unique decor of the café is also very distinctive!

If you love American style, don’t miss this hotdog burger café when you pass by!

Since I didn’t get to try any drinks that day, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments if you have tried them!

Currently, the Zhongshan District has transformed into a place that many people frequent on weekends or holidays, especially with many cafes and shops on Chifeng Street, along with many street vendors often populating the area.

It's fair to say that Zhongshan District has become a hot spot for many young ladies. 🥰

Of course, this area is also great for dates. You could catch a movie nearby and then spend the afternoon in a café for some tea!
Stay tuned to Dickson's food rants for more cafés in Zhongshan District to come!

If you want to explore outside, the market and various vendors near the Zhongshan MRT station provide a great opportunity for you two to spend quality time on your date and exchange thoughts on stuff.

Look at that! Wouldn’t this help you two understand each other better? 😍😍😍

Then if you walk around and get hungry, you can head to the hotdog burger café I just mentioned, with each of you getting a hotdog burger, paired with drinks from the café, enjoying the American atmosphere—it’s such a lovely date idea!

So why not add it to your must-visit list?

This kind of date activity definitely strengthens your relationship! 😍

🤪 Dickson's Rant Zone, see you next time! 🤪

Nice decor and ambience. Food is good as well. Really enjoyed the signature chicken and their pastas are homemade. Suprised it isn't crowded on a weekend, especially since the food is worth the price. Would definitely come back again.

大鶴是我個人非常喜歡的咖啡廳,氛圍很輕鬆、安靜,兩位主理人很親切,經常會看到吧台區的客人跟她們聊聊近況、分享有趣的事,大多數客人會帶著電腦或書籍在這邊度過下午或晚上的時光,這家店有個特別的規定是不會接待人數超過三位的客人,或許也是讓這邊的氛圍維持下去的原因吧。 店內有很多海報跟書籍、期刊可以反映出主理人的風格,總是可以在角落發現一些有趣的小巧思,有來的朋友也可以仔細觀察,一定可以發現一些什麼( *¯ ꒳¯*) 今天點了磅蛋糕跟熱拿鐵,磅蛋糕真的非常好吃!每過一段時間總會想念起這裡的磅蛋糕,來的話一定要點!另外蛋沙拉吐司也很推薦呦!

Its located on the first floor of D'Bayu Bukit Jelutong, the same shop as woodfire.Parking can be quite full but there are some empty spaces to park. You can only go up by stairs so not suitable for people who have trouble going up them. To order, just choose a table, inform the counter your table no. and place your order. The staff will send out the drinks to you. Foodwise, its more on the cakes and pastries. Customers who are craving a heavier bite, can just order with woodfire in the same shop. The Americano was pretty good. Nice smokey after taste and went down smoothly. Service was fast and pricing was within range (not cheap but not expensive). Was unable to try the cakes and pasties as i am on a keto diet but willl definitely come back for the coffee if i am in the area
