The Corporate Slave Slightly Tipsy Tavern, located near the Little Dome on Nanjing East Road, offers a menu that leans towards Taiwanese-style gastropub cuisine. The menu's design resembles a yellow folder, which brings a smile to one's face.
Today, I enjoyed beef flank fried rice, Typhoon Shelter soft-shell crab, Thai-style baked egg, and stir-fried water lily, along with a few signature cocktails, totaling 1663 NTD.
Beef Flank Fried Rice:
The cooking is quite solid with a rich wok aroma, and the portion size is generous. The beef is tender, and I especially liked the green chili peppers in the fried rice; they bring a spicy kick without being overwhelming.
Typhoon Shelter Soft-Shell Crab:
The crispy soft-shell crab is entirely edible. The Typhoon Shelter flavor is a Hong Kong-style seasoning that is spicy and aromatic, featuring garlic and various specialty spices, making it a great accompaniment to rice.
Thai-Style Baked Egg:
Thai cuisine typically features sour and spicy flavors, and this dish has a distinct sour and spicy taste with a smooth egg texture. The rice-wine granules on top add an interesting sweet and sour flavor. It's quite a large portion, likely made with at least four or five eggs.
Stir-Fried Water Lily:
A standard stir-fried water lily dish, also with a substantial portion.
Cocktails:
The standout drinks were the “Attacking Lemon 2.0” and “Attacking Cola.” Both cocktails are based on kumquat flavors and are sweet and tangy. The Attacking Cola is a non-alcoholic beverage with a fun cup design.
Overall, it's a Taiwanese gastropub worth visiting. The portions are quite large, so we had to take some home. I would like to return to try the fried platter. However, I might skip the starch dishes next time; I simply can't finish it all.
I recommend it to everyone!
