🍳 Our group ordered a full table totaling $2080: three portions of European-style breakfast with spiced grilled chicken $390, pan-fried beef shoulder with slipper bread $390, pan-fried beef shoulder with milk toast $390, double cheese and spicy meat sauce sandwich $320, oven-roasted chicken with black curry $340, and dessert Earl Grey apple-filled pancakes $250. The meal combination was rich and looked impressive 📷, but in terms of taste... it just looked impressive.

🥪 The flavors were average; the standout was the spicy meat sauce sandwich, which was flavorful without being greasy. The dessert was also decent, the Earl Grey pancakes had mochi inside, and paired with ice cream and Earl Grey milk tea syrup, it was quite a bonus. But to be honest, the other main dishes were quite ordinary, with familiar but unoriginal combinations, resembling a standard healthy brunch template.

🍋 The drinks chosen were unsweetened black tea and honey lemon water, which were on the weaker side, more like sidekick level drinks.

💸 A platter of breakfast costs $390, which is considered high even by Taipei standards, and the portion sizes feel small for men, leaving a bit of emptiness after the meal. In Yilan, the prices feel particularly high, especially with no reservations and cash-only policy, making the overall threshold not low.

📸 However, the lighting is truly beautiful, and the environment is clean and bright, making it great for taking photos, perfect for couples or friends to come enjoy pancakes and afternoon tea. But if you’re expecting to leave feeling full and satisfied, you might be a little disappointed~
