和味清粥

📌 Around 11:30, there are a lot of people. It's recommended to go after 12:30 when there are fewer people, and there are plenty of dishes.

🔹 Prices
Only cash is accepted.
Pricing is not based on weight; it depends on how many dishes you order.
The picture shows four dishes + one meat (fried ribs, cabbage, tomato and egg, eggplant, amaranth) for $100.
I had ordered three dishes + one portion of braised pork + a small rice for $85 before.

🔹 Meals
The ribs are pretty good; they are quite substantial, with thinner skin and smaller granules.
The cabbage is crunchy, and the eggplant is quite oily,
The tomato and egg dish has no actual tomatoes, just ketchup.

🔹 Ordering rules
Whether dining in or taking out, you must queue, and you have to line up every time you come because there are a lot of customers.
First, you choose
A. A bento with fixed dishes
B. A buffet where you select your own dishes; you can also request rice in the buffet.

▪️ If you want the buffet, you need to specify whether you want a large box or a small box. I remember that if you choose more than three dishes, you have to use a large box (if you ask for a large box but only choose three dishes, the staff might remind you...).
▪️ The dishes also come in large and small portions. The buffet defaults to small portions, and if you eat in-house and ask for "small dishes," it means you get large portions, so be aware of that.

🔹 Environment
It's really hot in the summer; I don’t know if they have the air conditioning on but it’s not strong enough, or if they didn’t turn on the air conditioning at all. In any case, it’s very hot, so you wouldn't want to dine in.

📍 In summary, the meals are quite tasty, the portions are normal, and there are many dishes, so I would still come for the buffet. The downside is that I don't quite understand the pricing standards, and one staff member's attitude is a bit unfriendly...
