新北市 • Japanese set meal

6 months ago

Dinner2 pplNT$325

Hello everyone, I'm Hua Guibin, the Pudding Dog 🐩.
Since I got FOODAY, I’ve had a bit more budget for meals every day. 👍

This time I came to the Far Eastern Food Plaza in Xizhi to eat at "The Nest of the Pigeon."

To cut to the chase, I will not be returning again. 😤

From the very beginning, there was a mistake with the orders, and they served the food to another table, making us wait a bit longer. It wasn't until a staff member noticed that our main dishes hadn’t arrived that they finally brought them out. The pork chop was fried so hard that it felt like sandpaper. I had to dip it in sauce to make it more bearable, but the sauce was mediocre. By the time we got to dessert, we were told to wait again while the adjacent tables had already finished their meals and we were still waiting. The overall experience was very poor!

It also seemed like the staff were not getting along well. During our meal, I could hear them arguing over the intercom.

Finally, the checkout process was quite frustrating. They swiped the payment method several times and the discount coupon I used didn’t apply, so I ended up paying the full price. After I pointed it out, they had to process a refund and re-run the payment. I’m not sure if it’s due to inadequate staff training...

In short, while I can’t speak for other branches, I won’t be returning to the Far Eastern Xizhi location, and I may reconsider visiting other branches as well 🤔. After stepping on a landmine once, it leaves a bit of a shadow ☹️.

The pork chop is very dry and the batter can be a bit scratchy on the mouth. It's recommended to dip it in sauce to make it easier to eat, but the dipping sauce isn’t particularly impressive; it's really just there to avoid scraping the upper lip. As for the chawanmushi, I personally think it has no flavor and is not rich in content; it’s just like what you see in the picture (fish cake + steamed egg). Surprisingly, I think the kelp sprouts are the best part of the dish 😂. The saltiness and sweetness are spot on, making it a very good side dish to pair with rice. As for the ramen... it’s just ramen! It's standard and not particularly delicious.

Japanese Chicken Thigh Cutlet Set Meal Chicken thigh cutlet is juicier compared to fried pork cutlet, but the batter is the same type that sticks to the lips. You can request more rice, but you need to wave your hand to find the staff. I think the method at Fukusen-Tei is more convenient.

Sesame and shredded cabbage will be served first, allowing you to pass the time while waiting for the meal to arrive. The shredded cabbage can be paired with the restaurant's sauce, but I think it's just okay; the taste of the sauce doesn't really match. Personally, I prefer the shredded cabbage with yuzu and Japanese-style sauce from Fukusenti.
