小李子清粥小菜

📍Taipei Da'an Station

The shop's decor is still quite well-maintained, spacious and bright, but I've heard they're going to renovate. During dinner time, there are a lot of people, and everyone seems to have a seat. If it's your first time here, it might be a bit unclear what to do, and there's no staff to guide you.

Step 1: Order food first: Grab a tray, and just tell the waiter in front of the dishes you’re interested in. They will serve you. Some dishes have small and large portions, so you can tell them your number of diners, and they will help you estimate.

Step 2: Find a seat: There are quite a few seats on the second floor. Although it’s crowded, the table turnover rate is fast. After going upstairs, let the staff know your party size, and they will assist in arranging a table.

Step 3: Receive porridge and the bill: A pot of porridge will be brought to you, with options for sweet potato porridge and plain porridge. Make sure to check that the bill is correct.

Dishes 🥘

• Spicy Steamed Stinky Tofu / 100 NTD:
  There are two pieces of tofu topped with some mushrooms and preserved vegetables to enhance the texture and saltiness. Although the tofu is of the holey type, it doesn't have much flavor and needs dipping sauce to taste good. Personally, I find it average.

• Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs (Small) / 70 NTD:
  The dish is pre-prepared and placed on the counter, so it's served cold, but the taste is not bad. It pairs well with the porridge, and there are about 4-5 shrimp.

• Sweet and Sour Pork Loin / 120 NTD:
  The coating is a bit thick, and the seasoning is just okay. It feels a bit empty when eating; I suggest choosing another dish to go with the porridge.

• Sweet Potato Porridge / 30 NTD (all-you-can-eat):
  The staff seems to serve sweet potato porridge directly without asking if you want anything else. You might need to mention any additional items in advance.

In summary, since the restaurant is open late, if you're hungry during night hours, this place is a decent option for taste. The environment is a bit noisy, so you can imagine it as a stir-fry place.🤣
