A small shop hidden in an alley, very inconspicuous (no large sign). Upon entering, I found the atmosphere quite comfortable, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding residential area. The items I ordered were a bit difficult to categorize; there was Taiwanese braised pork and mixed noodles, but also Japanese-style char siu and curry.

▪️ Fried Chicken Set Meal $240 · Choice of Miso Soup
The rice is Taiwanese rice, quite delicious, cooked just right, distinct grains and well-rounded. The fried chicken is very Japanese-style, juicy but not greasy. There was a good amount of shredded cabbage, and I really liked the sesame sauce it came with, very tasty. The side dishes that day were cold papaya and seaweed salad, both were quite delicious and appetizing, perfect for pairing with rice. The miso soup was simple and enjoyable.

▪️ Char Siu and Scallion Oil Dry Ramen Set $160
· Drink originally included Earl Grey Tea, swapped for Matcha Latte +$45
This was my friend's main dish. The noodle thickness was quite good, but for me, it was a bit soft and lacked chewiness. The seasoning was average, and I didn't get to taste the char siu, so I can't comment on that, but my friend who enjoys noodles thought it was delicious. The matcha latte had a milky taste but not enough matcha flavor, wouldn't recommend it.

After finishing the meal, I really wanted something sweet and even told my friend that they should sell a sweet pudding, and I would definitely order it 😂. Then I discovered while organizing the photos that they have sesame sweet soup with red beans!

Overall, I really liked the atmosphere of this place, but it’s not very convenient for transportation for those coming from afar. The prices are not overly cheap, with meals being on the higher end of average. Since I live nearby, I am quite willing to revisit, just putting this out for reference.
