Braces Person Review: There is a sink in a somewhat awkward position, it's open but the space is a bit small.

Qilin Pavilion is located near Yonghe Lehua Night Market. The fried food was delayed by the hot pot restaurant. I've been here quite a few times before and I really like their fried food.

This time, the two of us ordered:
One pot base that included cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli.
Golden Gate chuck tender beef $250 (just average).
Taiwanese pork $180 (the pork quality is quite good, better than the beef; we later added another plate).
Sea bream fillet $180 (ordinary fish fillet).
Egg dumplings $90 (they came frozen, quite hard to separate).
Tofu skin $80 (the tofu skin is quite tasty, especially with their satay sauce).
Cabbage $80 (cooked in the flat fish pot, it tasted pretty good).
Fried wings $180 for 4 pieces (I really love coming here for the fried food, very crispy and fragrant).
Fried squid balls $150 for 6 pieces (the squid balls are genuine).

Unfortunately, we came a bit late this time and missed out on the fried marlin, which is also super delicious! Now they have changed to a QR code ordering system; cash payment only.

I heard this is a fried chicken place that got sidetracked by hot pot; we arrived around 20:30 that day.

▪️ 1-2 people must order one pot base for $90
· Comes with cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli
I found the soup base itself quite enjoyable; it’s said to be made from simmered pork bones (flat fish and cabbage soup base), and it was indeed very rich.

▪️ Kinmen beef $250
▪️ Taiwan pork $180
▪️ Sea bream fillet $180
The beef that day seemed a bit just okay, but the pork was delicious, so we ended up ordering another plate; the sea bream was normal without any fishy taste.

▪️ Egg dumplings $90
▪️ Tofu skin $80
▪️ Cabbage $80
All were pleasantly tasty. Moreover, their "cabbage" refers to all white vegetables, haha, so there’s also an option for "green vegetables" on the menu 🥬 I found that quite cute.

▪️ Fried wings $180 for 4 pieces
▪️ Fried squid balls $150 for 6 pieces
They also had fried mackerel, but it was unavailable that day; I heard it’s great 🥲 The fried items were really delicious, reminiscent of the tasty fried chicken from traditional markets — the squid balls were quite solid too. Fried items must be ordered before 21:00; many people come just for this, and it really was quite good.

Overall, I really liked this place; the soup base was simple and tasty, and the fried items were excellent!! After finishing my meal, I realized there were many different balls I didn’t get to try, and I also forgot to try their special satay sauce, which sounds amazing. The staff was also very polite. I hope to get to try the mackerel next time 😆

P.S. The amount I paid that day didn’t match the prices on the menu after we ordered; I’m not sure if it was because we ordered two pot bases or if some items differed from the official menu, but since I didn’t notice at the time and didn’t receive a detailed receipt, it just ended there. Everyone can pay attention to this themselves (we ordered using a QR code, and the prices above are the ones listed on the official website).
