🚩 A 30-year-old restaurant with exceptional culinary skills

📍 Location and Transportation: Cheng Jia Xiao Guan is located on Yanji Street in the Eastern District of Taipei, near Cathay General Hospital. The nearest MRT station is Xinyi Anhe Station, Exit 5, which is about a 4-minute walk away. There are quite a few parking spaces for cars and scooters in the surrounding alleys.

🏠 Space: The main store of Cheng Jia Xiao Guan is in Muzha, while the Ren'ai branch relocated in 2015. The exterior looks quite new, and the interior decor is simple, featuring round tables of various sizes and tables for 3-4 people. The photos of the dishes on the walls showcase their signature and popular dishes. Today, during a weekday lunch, there were only two groups of customers in the restaurant.

💰 Ordering and Payment: The staff takes orders verbally at the table, and payment can only be made in cash after dining.

🍽️ Dishes:
We ordered quite a few dishes today, and the descriptions are written below the images ⬇️
(Online sources say this place serves northeastern cuisine, but the restaurant's Facebook introduces it as Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, so I guess I'll categorize it as Chinese cuisine. 🤣)

💭 Summary:
Today, my colleague and I initially planned to have pig’s trotters rice, but that restaurant was unexpectedly closed, so we ended up at Cheng Jia Xiao Guan. After placing our order, we could hear the loud sizzling from the kitchen, which was quite pleasant. The environment and service attitude are reasonably good. The flavors of the dishes are standard without any major issues, but the downside might be the higher pricing, which isn't something we can afford to enjoy regularly. 🥺

Scallion Scrambled Eggs $190 There are plenty of scallions, the egg flavor is rich and intense, it’s neither too dry nor too wet, and the saltiness is just right. Thumbs up.

Spicy Red Pepper Tofu Beef (Shredded Meat?) $280 Delicious and not too spicy, with balanced seasoning. The tofu is smooth and not dry or hard, and the meat is tender, making it a great match with rice.

Silver thread rolls $170 (Two rolls with a total of 8 pieces, a colleague quickly grabbed one piece) Fragrant, soft, and not greasy, paired with condensed milk, it's amazing 😋

Chengjia Stir-Fry $320 Signature dish, three-layer pork and squid stir-fried quickly with scallions and garlic. The three-layer pork is crispy and very fragrant, and there is plenty of squid; the flavor is stunning.

Clam and loofah $280 The loofah is sweet, and the clams are quite large, with a generous portion. However, the seasoning is extremely light, which is a bit of a pity.

Kyoto Pork Ribs $300 The sauce is sweet, the rib meat is of moderate size with no bones, stir-fried to perfection, has a nice bounce and chewiness, delicious.
