🎉 Hsinchu City's Popular Instagram-Worthy Restaurant 🎉
🎉 Crazy Large Portions of Extravagant Food 🎉
The newly renovated Mu Lan store features a fresh design with a combination of white and wood tones, giving it a very Japanese style✌️. The restaurant limits orders to 150 portions daily, so there’s a long line before meal times😂. The shop opens at 11 a.m., and we arrived half an hour early to order, allowing us to be the first group to savor this delicious meal, which was truly wonderful👏. I heard the next wave wouldn’t be able to eat until one o'clock, and just hearing that made me break out in a cold sweat😆.
Currently, the restaurant uses online ordering, and if you’re not familiar with it, you can also order through the ordering machine (staff can assist you). Online ordering is much more convenient and supports Line Pay👍, which is very friendly for someone like me who enjoys using payment options😉.
After ordering, the staff will bring your food to your table, saving a lot of questions😁. The utensils are self-service, and there are three types of chili in the self-service area to choose from according to your preference☺️.
After being seated, the restaurant first serves a cup of chicken soup😳. The flavor is rich but not overwhelmingly salty, very delicious🤤.
Soon after, the meals are served 😳 Wow‼️ The portion sizes are insane! Is this what they mean when they say: there's a kind of hunger that makes the boss fear your hunger?😆
Secret Recipe Tender Fried Chicken: (250 NT)
The presentation is beautiful😆. The fried chicken is generously portioned, with a crispy and slightly fluffy coating – that classic Japanese texture😋. The chicken is tender and delicious.
👍 There’s a generous side of vegetables that perfectly balances out the richness of the fried chicken, and the bread on top is incredibly crispy, pairing excellently with the curry sauce‼️
Braised Beef Tendon with Salt Grilled Steak (Hidden Version): (390 NT)
This plate comes separately from the main course, and the braised beef tendon is very tender. Although it’s labeled as salt grilled steak, if you look closely, you’ll find two or three different cuts: in addition to the steak, there are beef ribs and sous-vide beef. This plate has everything, which is very satisfying😋. The Thai lemongrass chili pairs wonderfully👏.
To summarize:
This restaurant is not only great for photos, but the food is also extremely delicious😋. The only downside is that the tables are quite small; dining with two people while ordering two dishes barely fits everything on the table. I saw some people at the next table ordering extra, and they barely had space to set their hands down, awkwardly trying to pick up food as if writing calligraphy with their fingers suspended in the air🥲. Other than that, everything is quite nice🥰.
