雙月食品社 北投店

A very famous restaurant had been on my list for a long time. I heard there are usually long lines, so I thought maybe there would be fewer people in Beitou? In the end, it was still super crowded.

Upon arriving, we first took a number. After our number was called, we received another number for entry. We could either place our orders using a QR code and pay at the machine, or order directly at the machine and check out. Then we just had to wait until our number was called for seating.

We waited for about 45 minutes. The dining environment was quite clean and bright, with self-service utensils, tissues, and sauces. I thought it was great that there was also a handwashing station at the self-service area. Since there were a lot of people, they used transparent partitions to separate the seats, so it felt a bit cramped. However, the food was served quite quickly. This time I ordered the Spicy Love and Hate Noodle, and the first bite was quite impressive; the flavor was rich and a bit spicy, but still acceptable. My friend ordered the Black Truffle Tossed Noodles, which had a fresher, more palatable taste, with the sauce clinging to the noodles. I thought both flavors were pretty good.

The soups were their signature dishes. I ordered the Ah-Gan Spicy Chicken Soup. The flavor of the spicy peppers was fragrant and slightly spicy, with plenty of cabbage in the soup that added a sweetness. Combined with the mild spiciness of the peppers, I found it delicious. The Clam and Chicken Soup also had a lot of cabbage, bringing sweetness to it as well. With the added flavor of the clams, I thought it tasted great. There were a ton of ingredients in the soup; the bowl was almost overflowing, and I was slightly confused about how to eat it once it arrived.

For the side dishes, we ordered the Marinated Dried Tofu and Blood Rice Cake, which I thought were okay but not particularly impressive. The Braised Pork Rice was the most ordinary dish I had ordered that day; for me, there was a bit too much fatty meat, and the sauce was slightly lacking. The noodles and soup were more outstanding.

Overall, except for the long wait and the somewhat cramped seating, the dining experience was quite good. The food was tasty, and the staff were pleasant, especially the one at the entrance who managed the confused guests with great patience. I would definitely like to visit again if given the opportunity.
