Location: Xinyi District, Taipei City

This is one of my favorite places. Whenever I want to eat pasta in Taipei, this place comes to mind. The space at the Yixian branch is much larger than the Qingcheng branch, and it seems there aren't as many people, making it easier to find a table when I decide to go on a whim.

🌟 Squid Ink Cream Sauce with Salty Egg Yolk Flat Noodles
The flavor of the salted egg yolk is very clear, without feeling too milky. The richness combined with the seafood makes for a very smooth experience when eating. The flat noodles are cooked to a perfect chewy texture, but due to the salted egg yolk, there is a slight oiliness at the end, which doesn’t detract from the dish’s deliciousness at all.

🌟 Tiramisu
My favorite dessert 🥰. This dish has a higher cream cheese content, but it’s not overly sweet or heavy. It pairs wonderfully and is very tasty 😋.

I also sampled a bite of the dishes my friends ordered, and every one of them was above standard. I highly recommend this place if you're around the City Hall and don't know what to eat! 😋

I should have eaten at cin cin N times; I can really get full with my large appetite!
This time I ordered:
👍 Main dish: Salted egg yolk soft shell crab with thin noodles
👍 Set B + 198 - Grilled fresh tuna salad + black tea
(Usually, I have to order C) 🤣

First of all, I have to say that the value for money is quite high; the fresh tuna in the salad, paired with the dressing and crunchy toppings, as well as the potatoes, not only satisfied my taste but also the texture! 😋 Oh my, I'm craving it again!
Then, about the main dish: the salted egg yolk flavor is really incorporated into the noodles, but it’s not too strong or salty. If you like salted egg yolk, you should definitely give this a try; the noodles have a firmer texture, which I find quite chewy!
Next, I must mention the soft shell crab itself; when I bit into it, I felt like there was crab roe inside, not just a crispy texture.

Finally, the black tea is just malt-flavored black tea. It’s clearly labeled as malt-flavored on the menu, so it’s pretty standard, nothing too spectacular.

If it's a gathering with multiple people, I definitely recommend it; everyone can share and have pizza or other types of dishes!

And lastly, the restroom was very clean, which I liked. The staff maybe seemed a bit tired and didn’t hear our orders clearly but did confirm everything. If they could be a bit more proactive in providing a basket for belongings, I think it would be even better!

The spaghetti really needs to feature the salted egg yolk series
You can tell right away that salted egg yolk is the star; it’s really delicious

The risotto has a texture comparable to that of foreign dishes
The staff suggested it could be a little softer for easier eating
And it really is (the service was great)
Overall, the main dish portion is just right and very tasty 😋

The appetizer of braised tripe did not disappoint either
Paired with toasted bread, it adds layers to the texture
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
