Reviews
In the alley near the Night Market on Yizhong Street, there’s good food 🍴.
The store is really quite hidden, but the number of customers hasn’t diminished at all. I was especially surprised to see mostly middle-aged and older people that day! I wonder if it’s due to word-of-mouth or if they found it online; the business is surprisingly good even though the location is so tucked away. 😦
The inside of the restaurant is small but very cozy, giving off a family-style restaurant vibe. There were already a few people queuing outside even before opening. That day we visited was after a typhoon, so it was pouring rain, but after we were seated, it quickly filled up, with customers who had made reservations in addition to those waiting.
The meals are ordered via smartphone, and cooking starts after payment is made at the counter; cash is the only accepted payment method.
The two of us ordered the following dishes to share 👇🏻
-
Chargrilled Squid and Shrimp Korean-style Creamy Pasta $405
A whole large squid / two shrimp / Korean creamy sauce / clams / wild mushrooms -
Pan-seared Scallops and Shrimp Paste Clam Pasta $415
Four raw-grade scallops / clams / shrimp paste / wild mushrooms / bonito flakes
Both dishes were completely different in flavor, but they were very fragrant and delicious. Besides looking great, the flavors suited our taste, and the ingredients used were very fresh (like scallops and squid). The pasta was chewy and evenly coated with sauce, and the portion was enough to fill a man's stomach, though women might find it a bit more filling.
However, compared to the two flavors, the Korean creamy one felt a bit richer, but the highlight was definitely the super large squid on top, which had a wonderful chargrilled aroma and was extremely tasty. 🤤

My friend and I ordered a set to share, and when we asked the owner if he could give us another small bowl, he generously said he would just give us another one directly (we both felt a bit bad and told him it was okay, but we really appreciated his kindness; he was very hospitable💗).
The creamy soup and fries were quite good; I would personally order them again next time. The crispy bread was slightly lacking, with a texture and flavor that fell in between. -
