[New Taipei Banqiao] Pocket Pasta

The store features a cream-colored decor design, creating a warm and relaxing space. On the day I visited, I noticed many families dining together, and the staff were very friendly.

The meal design is thoughtful, offering suitable dishes for both main courses and afternoon tea. Within a five-minute walk, there is a paid parking lot available. Motorcycles can be parked in roadside spaces. It's close to the Banxin MRT station, currently connected to Banqiao station, with a free "Circular Line Shuttle Bus" for transfers.

This month, there is also a two-year anniversary event! For any main course ordered, you can enjoy one of the following offers:

1. Buy one get one free cocoa ore
2. Upgrade for an additional 69 NTD for golden crispy fries
   Event period: 2024.11/1-11/30

Main courses include: pasta, risotto, and salad. Ordering a main course with a drink allows you to get a 30 NTD discount. There are also three types of combo meals available, and drinks can be upgraded for a price difference.

✨ Personal recommendation
◽ Premium Beef Truffle Cream Risotto ✨ $380 NTD

The truffle flavor is incredibly rich! Truffle lovers shouldn’t miss this～ The risotto is also on the softer side, making it suitable for children to eat👌 The beef has tender cartilage in the middle, which is easy to bite into, and finally garnished with black pepper and spice powder to enhance the meat's aroma.

◽ Chef's Golden Cream Shrimp Noodles (Thin/Fettuccine) ✨ $320 NTD

The ratio of golden sauce to cream is just right, rich but not greasy. It has a familiar white sauce flavor, with a hint of salted egg yolk aroma in the finish. The Fettuccine has a softer texture, and the shrimp is already shelled.

◽ Grilled Mentaiko Smoked Salmon Omelette ✨ $240 NTD

This dish is a bit heavier in flavor, and they give a generous amount of mentaiko sauce! The soft omelette contains salmon, making it suitable to order as a side to share with everyone.

◽ Chef's Special Salsa with Corn Chips ✨ $120 NTD

Unseasoned corn chips that you can savor the aroma of, paired with the chef’s special salsa, which is a bit sweet, slightly sour, and mildly spicy, a flavor I've never had outside.

◽ Mentaiko Soft French Bread ✨ $49 NTD

The bread is toasted just enough to be slightly crispy, with the mentaiko flavor just right, not too salty or bland.

◽ Lime Pomegranate Sparkling Drink $150 NTD

The ice and sweetness are fixed, with lemon slices added as decoration, making it not overly sweet and great for photos!

◽ Japanese Roasted Tea Latte ✨ $140 NTD

The roasted tea flavor is strong, with a slightly sandy texture, recommended for those who, like me, love strong tea.

◽ Worry-Relief Caramel Pudding $120 NTD

The pudding 🍮 is very tender! It's best enjoyed with caramel sauce, although I find the caramel slightly bitter; I prefer eating the pudding alone, which has a subtle egg aroma～

◽ Chestnut Tiramisu $140 NTD

Those who have seen the popular “chestnut flavored tiramisu” on the internet will know its fame, but I still prefer the traditional tiramisu recipe.
