📍 Salmon Steak Set NT$250
🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
The salmon is quite large, but unfortunately, it was overcooked. Although the skin was crispy, the meat became very dry and tough; if you didn't know better, you would think you were eating jerky! Lemon was provided, which added bonus points!
The side dishes of cabbage and enoki mushrooms tasted okay. However, the spicy radish was impressive! It was very flavorful and delicious!
📍 Lemon Chicken Fillet Set NT$250
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘
At first, I thought the chicken fillet would be deep-fried, but it turned out to be a whole chicken steak pan-fried, and they even gave two pieces, which is great! It also comes with lemon, highly recommended!
The set includes the following:
🔹 Drink: We chose unsweetened iced green tea / black tea, which they specially added ice and shook to make the drink very frothy.
🔹 Soup: The miso soup had quite a few ingredients (tofu, kelp, and onion).
🔹 Dessert tea jelly: Not overly sweet, with a subtle brown sugar flavor.
▶️ Environment
🔹 The indoor space is very large, estimated to accommodate 30 guests.
🔹 Menus and pens are placed on the table first.
🔹 The decor style mimics European design and is very refined.
🔹 There is no self-service drinking water provided.
🔹 Cutlery is not self-served and will be brought with the meal.
▶️ Friendly reminders
🔹 There are many people even on weekday afternoons.
🔹 It is advisable to call ahead for reservations.
🔹 Payments after dining are cash only.
🔹 Card payments are not accepted, but invoices can be issued.
▶️ Overall rating
🔹 The food is acceptable; aside from the salmon steak being overcooked, everything else was quite good. The environment is comfortable, and there are comic books or magazines available to read, but it can get quite noisy with many people, so it's suggested to bring headphones if you want to read.
