📍Golden Pork Cutlet Curry Rice NT$220
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
You can choose the sauce to be rich or mild; I opted for rich (it has a stronger spice flavor).
You can also choose whether to add chili oil; I chose to add it, and it is really super spicy, so be careful!

The curry is quite rich, falling between Japanese and Indian styles. The broccoli is overcooked, making it soft and not very pleasant to eat.
The pork cutlet skin is very crispy, but the meat doesn't taste like real pork (it lacks the fibrous texture characteristic of pork).
Overall, eating too much fried pork cutlet can feel heavy and greasy, and I find the curry somewhat ordinary with nothing particularly special about it.

🔹 The soup served is preserved vegetable and shredded meat soup, which is quite good. The broth is flavorful, and the ingredients are substantial; I like it a lot!

📍Baked White Sauce Smoked Chicken Pasta NT$240
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
The pasta is penne, the white sauce is on the wetter side, and the smoked chicken has a decent flavor. The baking is rich.
Overall, this dish is better than the curry; it doesn't feel as heavy, and it also comes with a soup.

📍Crispy French Fries NT$80
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
The fries are average, crispy when fried, and are decent. They come with ketchup for dipping.
