  Delicious! I initially thought it would taste like a packaged meal, but the flavor was surprisingly rich.

This place is perfect for meeting friends at NTU and finding a spot to sit around!

-Red wine braised beef and poached egg combo meal-380-On the plate there are two large slices of triangular hash browns, a German sausage wrapped in bacon and cut in half, and two slices of French bread spread with garlic sauce. The salad on the side is a bit small, the lettuce is of average quality, and the dressing on it is thick Caesar dressing. The soup of the main course beef stew in red wine is relatively thin, and the taste is heavier and salty, with a little sourness of red wine and spiciness of black pepper. There are at least four or five pieces of beef brisket inside, all of which are stewed until they are soft and delicious. There are also some large pieces of carrots and celery. Finally, a half-cooked poached egg is placed. After eating the whole plate, you won’t feel like there’s anything particularly outrageous about it, but it’s not particularly amazing either.
The meal comes with a 100 yuan drink. This time I chose the Ice American. However, their Ice American is very bitter, so I suggest you order other drinks.

-Spicy seafood cuttlefish pasta-280-The noodles taste average. The cuttlefish sauce has no obvious cuttlefish seafood flavor. Just salty and a little creamy. The spicy part is not too obvious if you eat it alone. It is very slightly spicy. It will only feel spicier if you eat the pickled peppers inside. The seafood ingredients are of average quality, including three shrimps, small rolls, clams, flower branches, and some fried onions and ham. The taste is also quite average and not particularly amazing.

-Fresh cheese-100-a cheese with a strong fresh creamy feel. It is soft and melts when touched. The sweetness is on the high side, about 70 to 80% sweet. I personally don’t like it that much.
