清河鵝肉

📍Tianmu, Taipei

Close to Zhishan Station, it's about a 15-minute walk. You can ride a YouBike to nearby parks and then walk over. This place is a very famous old restaurant in Tianmu specializing in goose meat. It’s located in a space similar to a home garage, so be aware that there is no air conditioning, but they provide large electric fans. You will need to take a menu and find your own seat.

Meals 🥘

• Goose Oil Mixed Rice / Small Bowl / NT$30:
  The goose oil mixed into the rice is super fragrant. Although the rice is a bit on the soft side, which is a slight disappointment, the combination of the oil, scallions, and rice melds perfectly. After finishing, all I wanted to say was, "Boss, give me another bowl!"

• Dry Noodles / Small Bowl / NT$45:
  The dry noodles also come mixed with the restaurant's homemade goose oil. You can choose the type of noodles; I selected flat noodles, and they paired wonderfully with the goose oil, creating an incredibly fragrant dish. Additionally, chives and bean sprouts were added for extra texture.

• Goose Leg / Salt Water / Two Servings / NT$310 (Market Price):
  You can choose between smoked or salted goose meat. While the restaurant's specialty is smoked goose, I think the salted goose is also very delicious. It highlights the natural flavor of the goose meat much more than the smoked version, with a sweet and tender texture. You can enjoy the fragrance from chewing the goose skin and fat, which is very satisfying. It pairs well with the side of julienned ginger. The goose leg is deboned, but there are still some bones to watch out for.
