榕髦Rong mau
(Date: 2/2/2024)
Rong mau is located on Kinmen Street in Taipei City. It is not easy to park in the area where the ancient pavilion is close to the river. This time we drove to the nearby Hakka theme park.
The restaurant should be renovated on the first floor of an old house. The space is not large, but it is warm and textured. As soon as you enter the door, there is a seating area and an open kitchen. There are about 14-16 seats, mainly tables for 2 or 4 people. You can see the cooking process of the chef in the open kitchen, but there is only one chef, so there may be less room to adjust the meal delivery process (the meal time is 90 minutes, the main meal ordered this time will be served around the 50th minute, and it will take about 75 minutes to finish) , it would be a bit rushed to add some desserts)
The ratings of the dishes ordered this time are as follows:
Italian Tomarchio Ginger Sparkling Drink｜$200
It is a type with thicker bubbles. The ginger gas that hit my nose just after I opened the bottle made me want to sneeze. It is a little sweet. Drinking it with ice cubes in summer should be very refreshing🧊
Charcoal-grilled spice mixed soft-foot salad, pomelo-flavored red pepper sauce｜$380
There are roasted soft feet, chickpeas, zucchini, corn, and sesame leaves. The taste is not strong, and the temperature and taste are quite mild. It is very suitable as an appetizer.
American Ribeye Steak with Seasonal Roasted Vegetables & Honey Roasted Grapes｜$1980
I didn't ask about the doneness of the steak when ordering, and it was about medium-well/medium-well (maybe a little more done) when it was served. Personally, I'm used to eating it medium rare. It's a little dry for me. I wonder if it's made in an Italian way? But it can also be paired with honey roasted grapes to complement the juicy taste. The side dishes also include roasted bell peppers, pumpkin, potatoes, onions, corn shoots, glutinous rice peppers, etc. Overall, they are not very impressive, but they are still delicious.
Dessert Affogato｜$280
In addition to the classic Espresso and vanilla ice cream, there are also Belgian lotus shortbread crumbs (probably?) and nuts to add texture, which is quite excellent.
Overall, the environment and food are of a high standard, but the price may be a little on the high side? (I’m not very good at judging prices, so I’ll refer to the opinions of my peers) I’ll probably try pasta again in the future.
