This time we ordered a total of four main dishes: 3 portions of today's soup for $79 each, and 1 complete set for $210.

My impression is that it's tasty, but not tasty enough to make me want to return. 🤔 It's more like: it can be chosen for special occasions when you want to gather, but only if you're looking for something slightly different from the usual.

That's about the feeling I have.

👇 I’ll share my thoughts on the dishes at the bottom, and below is an explanation about the restaurant atmosphere.

This restaurant is close to Nangang Train/Subway Station, and there are buses nearby, making transportation very convenient.
Convenience level: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

The chain of restaurants offers both Chinese and Western cuisine. This time we opted for Western, which includes pasta and steak, among others.
(OS. But the menu still featured fried rice 😂)

The entrance to the Chinese restaurant is very obvious, so much so that the establishment even placed a sign to inform you: to go to the Western restaurant, you need to walk next door; do not enter the wrong restaurant...

It's not hard to understand why they need to do this, as among the 4 of us gathered for dinner, despite countless reminders, someone still walked into the wrong place 😅.

The Western restaurant is hidden inside a bakery. From the entrance, it just looks like a bakery, and only upon entering can you discover that there are tables and chairs, and a kitchen — it's a restaurant 👩‍🍳.

However, saying this might help you imagine that with a bakery in front and a restaurant behind, the entire space actually feels cramped and not very spacious. To save corridor space, the seating felt a bit crowded, which greatly affected my dining mood 😩.
Just think about it: during the meal, I had to squeeze my bag with me; there was no place to hang my umbrella, so I had to leave it at the corner of the table; the air conditioning also didn’t feel particularly cool; the comfort of the environment really felt lacking.

I understand that space in Taipei is not cheap, but I also can’t ignore that the environment made it hard for me to enjoy the food🥲.

I’ve been looking at this place for a long time, and I finally tried it!

I ordered the first recommended mentaiko smoked salmon pasta. It has a very strong aroma of mentaiko and the texture of the noodles is relatively hard. Overall it is very delicious. For 210 yuan, you can have a full set of side dishes, salad, soup and Beverage selection.

For the drink, I chose hazelnut latte. The coffee itself is very strong and bitter, I love it♥️

There is a discount of 150 yuan here, and the price of the main course is around 330-550. The portion is very large, and it is the kind that even a boy will be full after eating it.

Overall, the consumer experience is good and can be fully recommended.

Ordered two meals today:
Jade Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice
Bolognese chicken leg steak gratin

Let’s talk about the egg fried rice first. Although it is said to be an Italian restaurant, the fried rice is delicious. The ingredients are rich and the seasoning also gives the fried rice a layered texture. It depends on whether the price is acceptable.

I personally also like the baked noodles, but some people may find it a bit salty, mainly because there is a lot of meat sauce and a lot of meat~

We also added some soup of the day, Italian tomato and vegetable soup, which was also delicious.

Finally, my wife went to the refrigerator and chose the lace lemon cake. The cake was a little dry but not insignificant. I liked the lemon frosting very much!

So this dining experience was great and I will want to keep visiting!
