錦銥芋食 忠孝店

The Kinkatsu Taro Restaurant is located in the East District of Taipei City. The nearest MRT station is Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, Exit 3, which takes about a 6-minute walk. There is a fabric curtain on the right side of the store, and as you walk in, there are very few indoor seats (around 2 or 3 people?), with most customers choosing to take away.

After placing your order verbally with the staff, you can only pay in cash. After checking out, you take a number tag and wait for your number to be called.

Today, I ordered the Taro Small Cuttlefish Rice for $140. The main dish consists of 3 small cuttlefish, one of which was slightly burnt, but it still tasted relatively fresh with light seasoning.
The rice is mixed with taro chunks, giving it a special aroma. The amount of taro is just right, pairing well with the rice, but the texture today was a bit sticky. (Since I don't really like taro, I asked, and I couldn't order plain white rice because the taro and rice are cooked together 😂).

The side dishes are all unseasoned: half a boiled egg, slices of cucumber, and shredded carrot. The vendor has adjusted the prices; the previous price was $160, but the side dishes felt richer back then. The side dishes after the price cut taste rather uninteresting. While they are very healthy, they don't stimulate the appetite. It's a place one might go to when they can't think of what to eat for two or three months.
