螢火部落 放感情大巨蛋店

Location: Xinyi District, Taipei City

The department dinner was booked in advance at this new emotional-themed restaurant and bar. It’s located outside the Taipei Dome, and coincidentally, it was the day of the first baseball game between Taiwan and Korea. So, there were a lot of people outside the restaurant. Once you enter, it has a very atmospheric, slow camping vibe. The decorations and restaurant tableware all contribute to the camping feel, making it very cute for photos.

🌟 Platter for 3-4 people
The platter that arrived at the table was very fancy, beautifully presented with a strong sense of ceremony. When it was served, the staff poured the food from a bucket, truly evoking that wild camping experience. It included various meats like ribs, pig's trotters, and spring chicken. The seasoning was quite forgettable, and it was all unprocessed meat, including bones, which added to the outdoor camping feel. However, as someone who’s a bit lazy, I didn’t really like this style of food.

🌟 Fried platter
A fried platter is usually a safe bet at a restaurant and here it performed quite standardly, without any particularly stunning elements. It included basic items like French fries, squid, cheese sticks, and a few other fried foods. I didn't particularly enjoy it.

🌟 Spicy red pepper pig's trotters
This dish was very spicy. The pig's trotters were not bad; both the meat and skin had a nice chewy texture. However, there was a lot of seasoning powder on the outside, making it extremely spicy — one bite could be overwhelming. You would need plenty of drinks to balance it out.

🌟 Shrimp skin tofu
This dish resembled those typically found in seafood restaurants. The sweetness of the shrimp was not very prominent, and overall the dish tasted as you might expect.

Overall, both the food and drinks here were much more ordinary compared to another branch I had previously tried. I personally felt quite disappointed. However, the ceremonial aspect was very well done, and taking photos was fun and enjoyable. But the food is still incredibly important, so for me, this restaurant is just a one-time visit. 😓😓😓
