The Mexican shrimp risotto is rich and slightly spicy, while the red wine beef omurice has a nice chewy texture and is overall quite good. However, the stir-fried wild mushroom chicken thigh noodles are a bit dry and lack saltiness.
Although the restaurant is not very spacious, it is clean, and the pets can roam freely, adding a sense of healing and happiness to the dining experience.
The staff regularly helps customers take pictures together, and their photography skills are quite good, allowing you to feel their enthusiasm and friendliness.
食。光機在內壢一帶相當有名,甚至可以說是元智學生的共同記憶之一。整體定位偏向寵物友善咖啡廳,但更準確地說,是一間「為了狗勾也值得來」的地方。低消200元的設定,在能享受餐點、空間,甚至還能和店內狗狗互動的前提下,確實顯得相當划算。
店內氛圍輕鬆溫暖,空間不追求精緻,但乾淨舒服。最重要的是,這裡真的可以和多隻狗狗近距離互動與合照,對喜歡動物的人來說,體驗價值遠高於一般咖啡廳。
餐點方面,鮮脆香煎牛排蘿蔓沙拉 表現穩定。蘿蔓新鮮爽脆,牛排熟度掌握得宜,口感算是嫩,不會乾柴,整體風味清爽,是一道吃起來沒有負擔的主食沙拉。
甜點 香蕉巧克力荷蘭小鬆餅 則偏紮實路線。鬆餅本體厚實、有嚼感,搭配巧克力與香蕉的組合,風味上沒有問題,但口感與一般鬆軟型鬆餅不同,會比較看個人喜好。如果偏好輕盈鬆軟口感,可能會覺得略重。
整體而言,食。光機的餐點屬於「不難吃、穩定表現」,但真正的核心價值在於空間與狗狗。對於喜歡寵物的人來說,這裡的體驗幾乎可以忽略餐點的小缺點。簡單說,這是一間「為了狗勾可以一直來」的店。
[Taoyuan Zhongli] Food. Light Machine 2.0
I've saved up for at least three years and still haven't had the chance to go!
To eat, I don’t necessarily run far,
But for a restaurant that allows pets, it's worth a special trip XD
That day, I specifically went to check out the newly relocated 2.0.
There are a total of six dogs, sorted by age:
Qiusen, AUDI, Huahua, Brandy, Wuhuarou, and Chunli.
The top three oldest are all Border Collies (tri-color and meteor color).
Brandy is a Samoyed, with very fluffy fur.
Wuhuarou is a rare Bernese Mountain Dog, super big! (Fooday's camera didn't capture it) It has a kind of big brother, very steady vibe, lying down like a carpet XD so soft and pettable.
Chunli is a giant Poodle, with curly, soft fur.
Keeping pets is really not easy, but the cleanliness of the environment is very well maintained.
You can feel that these furry kids are well taken care of.
Although the shop space isn't large and the dogs can’t run around,
They are taken out regularly for bathroom breaks.
The dogs move around freely and rest by the dining tables.
So cute RRRRR! It's a super comforting and happy dining time.
There is a fixed time for staff to take group photos (they're great at it).
I recommend everyone to find time to come play with them ❤️

✨ Personal recommendation
◽ Mexican Shrimp Risotto✨$360
> I really liked this dish! The mildly spicy flavor of the Mexican spice powder blends well with the risotto, the shrimp is shelled, and it tastes really fragrant – very fresh feeling.
◽ Stir-fried Wild Mushroom Chicken Thigh Noodles $380
> I was quite disappointed that the seasoning wasn't salty enough, and there wasn't much sauce. The chicken thigh was also overcooked, very burnt on the surface, without the juiciness of the meat, overall quite dry.
◽ Red Wine Beef Omurice✨$360
> The sourness of the red wine sauce is evident, and the meat isn't tender, it's more elastic in texture. Overall, it's not bad.
Feel free to like, leave a comment, and share 🫶🏻 Let's explore food, drink, and fun together!
