"Have you ever eaten raw chicken?"

Near the Taoyuan Art and Culture District, there is an izakaya
with delicious food and many unique dishes,
like moon-viewing chicken sashimi.
They even broadcast sports events, which has made it one of my top recommended restaurants.

"Mr. Q Barbecue Izakaya"

🍚 Today's orders
After all, it's an izakaya, and it's hard to say you’ve been if you don’t order at least seven or eight items.
Let’s choose three must-try dishes to write about!

👉 Moon-viewing Chicken Sashimi
That’s right, raw chicken!

Raw!

Chicken often carries salmonella, and generally speaking, it is considered inedible.
However, the rearing, production processes, and temperatures of the Kai Ding chicken are extremely stringent, allowing it to be safe for raw consumption.

Mix the tender Kai Ding chicken with egg yolk
It tastes smooth and tender, with a very unique texture.
The freshness of the chicken, the richness of the egg, and the spiciness of the onion pair together wonderfully. This has been a dish we’ve ordered almost every time we visit Mr. Q over the past two years, which has been nearly ten visits.

A little reminder: If you’re wary of raw meat, there's no need to force yourself to try it; raw chicken has a relatively small audience and may not suit those who aren’t accustomed to it.
But if you’re willing to try, I think it would be an amazing experience.

👉 Squid Sausage
The texture is different from regular sausages;
it's chewy but not too tough and easy to bite.
It also has a unique aroma, which we really enjoy.

Most importantly, please make sure to eat it with the garlic slices on the plate.
Although the way of eating is similar to ordinary sausages, the enhancement it offers far surpasses that of regular sausages and it’s definitely a perfect dish to pair with drinks.

👉 Pork Belly Garlic Roll
This is a must-order item for us every time.
Recommended consumption time: within 30 seconds of serving.
Bite into it while the garlic is still hot; the aroma of the pork and the intense garlic flavor quickly spread in your mouth.
If you love garlic, this dish is absolutely a must-order.

It’s worth noting that the texture of each garlic clove varies.
Some can be crunchy, while others are soft and easily squished, so every time you eat it, it’s a little different. I prefer the latter.

🍚 Summary:
👉 They broadcast sports events.
👉 The food is delicious, with unique dishes such as chicken sashimi.
👉 It's slightly on the expensive side but worth it.
