The Loyal Qing Trading Company is located on Qingdao East Road in the Zhongzheng District, just a three-minute walk from the Shandao Temple Station. The interior decor combines Taiwanese and Japanese styles, creating a rustic yet high-quality ambiance.

Today, I enjoyed soft-shell crab and shrimp risotto, family-recipe braised pork rice, chicken broth with shredded bamboo shoots, and white peach jasmine green tea, plus a bottle of soda, totaling 430 NTD.

Soft-shell Crab and Shrimp Risotto:
Crispy fried soft-shell crab is placed whole on top of the rice, accompanied by a generous amount of shrimp, creating a stunning visual presentation. The crunchy crab shell contrasts beautifully with the chewy shrimp. The risotto absorbs the sauce, delivering a slightly sweet flavor, moist texture without being overly sticky, and the cucumber provides a refreshing palate cleanser. It's a remarkably delicious dish.

Family-recipe Braised Pork Rice:
The bone-in pork is stewed until it’s incredibly tender, with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat. Paired with shredded bamboo shoots cooked in chicken broth and pickled vegetables, the whole bowl is deliciously rich. The rice is equally flavorful, with each grain distinct.

Chicken Broth with Shredded Bamboo Shoots:
It has a crunchy texture, is not astringent, and the fibers are delicate, carrying a subtle chicken aroma.

White Peach Jasmine Green Tea:
The tea is crystal clear, and the floral jasmine aroma harmonizes with the fruity white peach scent, providing a refreshing taste that is not overly sweet.

The herbal tea offered in the shop is available for unlimited refills, and its sweet aftertaste with a slight bitterness is not only delicious but also helps cleanse the palate. The spicy pepper sauce and garlic chili sauce pack a high level of heat, highly recommended for spice lovers to try.

Overall, this is a Taiwanese restaurant with delicious dishes and a comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant uses QR code ordering, which is quite convenient. Aside from the slightly pricier soft-shell crab, the prices of the other dishes are reasonable, offering great value for money.

I recommend it to everyone!

Due to spending time at National Taiwan University Hospital with a patient, I've grown tired of the food court on the first basement floor. So, I decided to run out and buy food from a place a bit farther away, and it just so happened that this restaurant is next to Shuangyue.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw that it was very crowded. Since I was just helping the patient buy some stewed beef shank for nourishment, I chose to take out. The aroma of the beef was fine, with the beef shank carrying the scent of the seasoning packet, along with fresh and good scallions and garlic. However, it might be due to the cut of meat or the fact that it wasn't stewed long enough; the beef shank had a bit too much bounce to it, and I couldn't really taste the texture and thickness of the meat itself. Moreover, compared to the price, the portion size was also on the high side.

However, later on, I saw the dishes being served to the dine-in customers, and they looked very delicious. Although the food at this restaurant is relatively expensive, I would definitely want to bring friends here to eat if I have the chance.
