The White Rice Police went to work today and had lunch at this highly-rated place, My Kitchen. It's a very delicious casual dining restaurant, and of course, the white rice passed inspection by the White Rice Police too! However, a small downside is that it is a bit expensive. The dish I ordered, the Spicy Chicken Rice, cost $280. I have to say that the prices in Taipei are truly astonishing!

We arrived before noon and there were still quite a few seats available. However, as soon as lunchtime hit, it quickly filled up with guests, and it was completely full in a very short amount of time. If you want to eat here, remember to arrive early; otherwise, you may have to wait a bit. Overall, the taste is excellent, but the prices are on the high side. I might only want to eat here once in a while.

I heard it was a restaurant specializing in stir-fry that originated in Taiwan, so I went! Perhaps because it's located in an office district, it was bustling with customers even during the weekday lunch hours!

【Atmosphere of the Store】
I personally love the retro and simple atmosphere based on light blue and white! It made me feel like I was eating in Taiwan! Haha. The food took a little while to arrive, but the staff was kind, and they brought me a paper apron while I was eating. 😊

【Food Evaluation】
I ordered the diced pork with dried tofu set meal. In addition to the main dish, it comes with rice, soup, side dishes, and dessert. The main dish had a delicious sweet and spicy seasoning that paired well with the rice! The meat was tender, and it went perfectly with the tofu! The soup with radish was also tasty, and I was very satisfied with the flavors!

【Overall Evaluation】
If I had a slight concern, it would be that the prices are somewhat high. 😅 There are many types of set meals that I would want to eat every day, but since the prices aren't very cute, I think I'll go occasionally!

Taipei Xingtian Temple Station - A warm family-style restaurant, with exquisite set meals that include soup and side dishes, plus dessert and drink. The owner noticed I didn't have enough rice and specially came over to ask if I wanted another bowl, which was very thoughtful!

📍 Rosemary Roast Chicken Leg Set NT$280
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
The rosemary roast chicken leg is very well marinated, and the chicken skin is deliciously crispy and fragrant, with pepper salt available for dipping. Unfortunately, it didn't come with lemon; otherwise, it would have been even better!
Side Dish: The cucumber was a bit ordinary, nothing special.
Accompaniment: The tofu had a bit of an odd taste, just average.
Soup: Bamboo shoots and enoki mushrooms, quite tasty. The bamboo shoots were rich and tasted very fresh and sweet.
The white rice was decent, not too wet or soft, just right.
For the drink, I chose: South African Rooibos Tea (iced), which has a very rich flavor, caffeine-free, perfect for the evening!
Dessert: Jasmine Green Tea Jelly, not too sweet, with a subtle jasmine fragrance, quite nice!

▶️ Environment
🔹 The interior seating is spacious, with plenty of seats, estimated to accommodate around 20-30 people.
🔹 The decor is quite homey, though some areas look a bit worn, showing signs of age.
🔹 Tableware is provided with the meal.

▶️ Thoughtful Reminders
🔹 Upon entering, you will be guided to a seat, with a menu to fill out at the table, and you order at the counter.
🔹 Payment after the meal can be made via mobile payment (Taiwan Pay, Jkopay, AllPay), but there is no LINE Pay.

▶️ Overall Evaluation
🔹 The meal itself isn’t particularly surprising, and the price isn’t very cheap. At nearly NT$300 for a set meal, the value for money isn’t high, and overall, it feels quite average.
