Listening to recommendations for "stock cancer," I decided to give it a try while in Taichung. It looks like there are two rounds for Chinese dining, both of which are completely full, so if you're going, remember to make a reservation.

The service and the dishes were all quite good, and the speed of service was stable; it was neither rushed nor took too long. This time, something interesting happened when I was drinking the clam chowder; I bit into a small round foreign object that looked a bit like a small pearl. After consulting with the chef, the restaurant confirmed that it was indeed a pearl. Because of this little incident, we didn't have to pay for our soup~~~

I'll share my thoughts on the dishes in the explanation below the photos.

Let me start with the conclusion: the price is reasonable, the food is exquisite and delicious, and it is the first choice for parties.

I came to Pino Coco for a dinner with my family on the first day of the new year. As soon as I sat down, I felt the relaxed atmosphere in the store. There were also many family dinner guests around. Today I found that the menu was slightly different from the past. After taking a closer look, I found that the service fee has changed from 10% to 20%. Considering that it is the first day of the new year, this change is reasonable. It would be better if the service staff could remind you in advance.

Based on previous dining experience, you don’t need to order too much for the main meal, and having a variety of appetizers is enough for everyone to share.

First, today's Pino soup. Today is mushroom soup. It has a rich mushroom aroma and a smooth texture that won't make you feel greasy. After drinking it, you'll whet your appetite.

Next is fried shrimp with shrimp oil + kiln-baked bread. The shrimp itself is delicious, and paired with the rich shrimp sauce, the taste is very rich. The kiln-baked bread is crispy on the outside and filled with shrimp paste in the middle. The sauce that overflows after you bite into it blends with the aroma of the bread, making every bite full of satisfaction.

The charcoal-grilled octopus legs are tasty, but not a must-order.

Homemade Danish cheese sticks are crispy cheese sticks that are easy to chew and have a rich cheese flavor that gets better and better the more you chew them.

Charcoal Grilled Seafood Salad is filled with fresh seafood, the combination of charcoal grilled aroma and seafood, paired with lettuce to refresh and relieve greasiness. What’s special is that there are ice flowers in it, which is a rare ingredient and is worth a try.

The signature fried chicken wings are fried to a golden and crispy outer skin, which is still smoking when you bite into it. The fresh meat and soft texture make you bite after bite.

The strawberry smoothie tastes a bit like yogurt smoothie. It is rich and smooth. It feels like Dayuanzi’s strawberry smoothie?

Mascarpone Cheese Melon Pizza and Chestnut Pumpkin Cheese Pizza are two main dishes. You can choose two flavors of 9-inch pizza to make a double combo. The pizza crust is chewy, the zucchini is crispy and paired with the rich cheese, it's quite special and delicious. There are pumpkin and chestnuts on the other side, but I don't like pumpkin so I can't comment on it, but the ham added on top is very thick and flavorful, and it's delicious.

Prawn Duo Creamy Pasta is a staple food. The noodle is very springy. It is topped with shrimp sauce similar to the shrimp fried in shrimp oil. The aroma is fragrant. The meat of the two prawns is delicious and full of satisfaction when biting into it.

The last two main dishes were a bit too much, so just ordering one should be enough. Overall, although it is a slightly more expensive restaurant, the dining experience is quite satisfying. Compared with MEATGQ next door, the price of Pinot Coco is not only much cheaper, but the satisfaction is even better than him. If family and friends want to have a dinner together, this would definitely be among my top choices.
