Hello everyone, I am the little frog 🐸
Miacucina is a vegetarian restaurant. Today, a friend invited me to try the restaurant in Nangsi, located on the second floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi near Zhongshan Station. It's very convenient for public transportation; you can get there by taking exit 2 from Zhongshan Station.

For the vegetarian options, you can customize to include eggs and dairy or go fully vegan. There is a minimum order of one dish or one drink, and the dining time is limited to 90 minutes.

⭐️ Blue Cheese Poached Egg Bacon Pasta $435
The poached egg is cold; when cut open, the yolk is somewhat cooked and not very runny… The creamy pasta is rich, sprinkled with blue cheese, and overall it tastes very creamy. The vegetarian bacon tastes a lot like mushrooms, accompanied by spinach and walnuts.

⭐️ Tomato Meat Sauce Wild Mushroom Risotto $425
The tomato flavor is very strong, with crushed tomatoes and onions, paired with roasted mushrooms. The creamy risotto has a perfect balance of softness.

⭐️ Black Truffle Cream Mushroom Pasta $455
This is also a very rich and creamy mushroom pasta, with the addition of black truffle, which gives it an exceptional aroma. Compared to a simple cream flavor, this pasta stands out with its truffle addition. If you like truffle, you should order this; they give a generous amount of mushrooms.

⭐️ Ganache Berry Pancake $445
The pancake dough is very crispy, with a small amount of strawberries and blueberries, sprinkled with almond slices and drizzled with chocolate sauce, making it a sweet pancake. There is quite a bit of chocolate sauce, and although the strawberries and blueberries provide a slight tartness, it still feels a bit sweet overall.

⭐️ Mia's favorite Strawberry Walnut Salad $350
This is a fruit salad ordered by my friend, which we did not share. She said it was delicious, containing a variety of fruits and walnuts, and the portion is sufficient.

‼️ Conclusion:
The price of the dishes is not low, and there is a 10% service charge for dining in!
Maybe it’s because my usual diet is a bit lighter…
This restaurant is probably one of the more flavorful vegetarian places I’ve been to. The portion sizes are relatively generous… After having these dishes for dinner, I felt the meals were quite rich and heavy overall, so I prefer vegetarian dishes that are more refreshing in flavor… Personally, I have a lower willingness to return.

There are a lot of people waiting for tables during holidays. It is recommended to make reservations in advance or go as soon as the doors open.

#台北 #中山站 #南西商区

I originally drew a Din Tai Fung number plate for dinner, but it started at 85 minutes. I really didn’t want to wait that long, so I ran to this restaurant on the second floor.
Because I had eaten at a branch in Xinyi District before, my impression was pretty good, and I didn’t have to wait in line before choosing to dine.

However, after eating this time, I felt that the impression was not as good as the branch. I originally wanted to give it 4 stars, but I took off 1 star because the noodles were tasteless. And overall, the price is still on the expensive side. Although the portion is quite large, the price is still a bit too high for vegetarian dishes without meat, so I deducted another star.

And in this area, at a similar price, I might choose other restaurants, such as Din Tai Fung.

Miacucina is probably a vegetarian restaurant that everyone who is vegetarian has heard of. What’s great about it is that even people who are not vegetarians will highly recommend it. There are many branches in Taipei. The one we ate today is located in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Nanxi at Zhongshan Station. The branch on the 2nd floor of the first building

Their menu options are very diverse, including salads, pasta, pizza, burgers, Buddha bowls, as well as a variety of appetizers and desserts, which is very suitable for gatherings of many people.

Three-cup Buddha Bowl $395
The bottom is purple rice, which is covered with corn, cucumbers, mushrooms, tofu, pumpkin, shredded carrots and other ingredients. The three cups have a prominent but not overwhelming taste. It tastes very refreshing and healthy. It is a dish that is very suitable for summer.

Black truffle cream mushroom pasta $455
This pasta is my MVP today. The black truffle cream sauce is very rich and tightly coats every noodle. Eat it with mushrooms. It’s really satisfying! People who like white sauce will definitely like this!

Blue cheese poached egg and bacon spaghetti $435
It is recommended that when eating this dish, you must crack the poached eggs first and mix the egg yolks with the pasta. The taste will be completely upgraded ~ (but the egg whites seem a bit too cooked). The taste of blue cheese is quite obvious, so this dish is also good. eat

Cheese meat sauce and onion ring pizza $445
When a friend ate this dish, he exclaimed, "Wow, it looks like real meat sauce." I personally think it has a classic and delicious pizza flavor, and it is a plus to sprinkle some crispy onion rings on top!

Chocolate Banana Waffles $320
This chocolate waffle is really super chocolate~~ Not only is it sprinkled with chocolate chips, but it also has a huge ball of chocolate ice cream on the side. There is even chocolate sauce that you can drizzle on top. It’s very sinful, but it goes with the toasted and fluffy waffle. , just right for Friday night!

Sticky pecan cinnamon rolls $165
The cinnamon flavor of this cinnamon roll is very strong, and you can smell it as soon as it is served. Although I am not a fan of cinnamon rolls, I can still imagine that people who love cinnamon rolls will like it very much, and part of this bread is very crispy and super fragrant. ; It’s super big, even when the five of us shared it, we still felt it was too big

Overall, although the unit price of each item seems not cheap, the portions are actually quite large, and it can be said that there is almost no surprise. I personally recommend everyone to try it, and you will have different views on vegetarian food~

ps. Because the taste of each of their dishes is quite strong, and because the portions are not small, I personally recommend ordering many different items to share, rather than ordering each one. Try more meals!
