Reviews
Location: Wanhua District, Taipei City
Group Gathering Dinner
It's rare that the company dinner consists of individual meals.
Upon entering the restaurant, it’s a very old building with a charming and antique atmosphere, which looks quite unique.
The menu options are not particularly numerous, but in terms of set meals, there seems to be quite a variety.
🌟 Golden Shrimp Balls
At first, the golden flavor isn’t very strong, but it does coat the shrimp balls.
The shrimp balls have a bouncy texture, but the flavor isn’t very pronounced.
I had high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed.
To add texture, they included water chestnuts, which I personally didn’t really enjoy.
The rice dishes and soup were rather standard.
The tofu was quite delicious and tender, but the flavor was just as expected—nothing particularly memorable.
🌟 Nostalgic Braised Pork
The ratio of fat to lean meat is just right.
The seasoning is also pretty much in line with what braised pork should taste like.
It pairs well with soup and rice; overall, I found it to be very tasty.
This is definitely a dish I would want to order again next time.
Overall, I didn’t particularly love the meal.
It wouldn’t be a restaurant I’d want to revisit, as Taipei has many other options to choose from.
That’s about it.
-Stewed Beef Tendon with Double Dates with Rice $390 - The tendon is quite soft, the seasoning is relatively light and the sauce flavor is mild, and there are a lot of white radish as side dishes, which is quite satisfactory
-Jinsha Shrimp Ball Guest Rice $380-This one is amazing! The shrimps are very large and the meat is fresh. The outer layer is fried into a crispy skin. It has a slight golden sand flavor and is not greasy.
- Nostalgic braised pork rice $380 - The braised pork is a big piece and very soft and tender. The seasoning is slightly sweet and the skin on it is a little hard.
-Roasted Chicken Rice with Black Date Sauce $370-The edges of the chicken legs can be fried to a crisp, and it feels like they are fried with care. The sauce is brushed on the skin last, and the chicken itself is not overly seasoned.
-Huangmei Drink (Iced) $130 - I think it is a pretty average sour plum soup.
-The rice is cooked well. You can add soy sauce and lard to make bibimbap.
-Today’s side dishes include braised chicken feet, egg tofu and seaweed, all of which are quite satisfactory.
-The attached soup has a strong aroma of Polygonum multiflorum, and there are two pieces of pork ribs in it, which is not bad.
