Hello everyone, I am little frog🐸
I worry every day: "What should I eat today?"

It happened that a friend had to go near Taipei Main Station for something, so I decided to look for food nearby today.

Located at the corner of the intersection, Robben's House has a big signboard... The wooden facade is paired with green plants, which gives it a warm feeling. There are about 20 seats inside, and business is very good. They do not accept reservations!

🍛Curry sauce is available in two flavors: Japanese classic/Nanyang coconut flavor

⭐️Mille-feuille cheese pork chop curry/Japanese classic
You can choose whether you want it spicy or not. I chose mild spicy today🌶️
The sweet Japanese curry is rich and fragrant. There are some minced meat in the sauce, and the taste is very rich. It is a delicious curry. The slightly spicy seasoning enhances the taste.
Thousand-layer cheese pork chop has a crispy outer skin, and you can still taste the gravy inside. There is also cheese in the meat filling. It's super stringy when you bite it, and it's delicious~

⭐️Pastoral Fried Chicken Curry/Nanyang Coconut Fragrance
The meals in the pastoral series will have more vegetables!!!
This bowl was ordered by a friend. The Nanyang coconut curry sauce itself is a bit spicy. People who don’t like spicy food should pay attention. For the Nanyang flavor, a little coconut milk is added to add more aroma, but the taste is not too strong. Personally I think it's just right ~ the fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the meat is not dry, and the small pieces are easy to eat.

🌟Upgrade package $60
Choose two from four: Black sesame cold tofu/hash browns/daily soup/40 yuan drink

▪️Daily soup:
Today is borscht soup, which has a lot of vegetables and a strong tomato flavor.
▪️Black sesame cold tofu:
The soft tofu is added with bonito flakes and topped with black sesame sauce. The sesame flavor in the mouth is very strong and the taste is a bit stronger.

‼ ️Conclusion:
Overall, the curry sauce at this restaurant has a rich and layered taste, which is my favorite. If I’m in the area again, I’ll be willing to pay a return visit!

I’ve seen many people recommend this small shop in Zhongshan District.
I just noticed today that there is no one queuing up.
The store owner will go outside from time to time to confirm the number of people
They will also help communicate so that people can be seated as soon as possible.

The pork chop I originally wanted to eat is no longer available.
Otherwise, I really want to try the full meal

Because the arrival time is later
The store said that the kitchen needs to be tidied up at 20:00
Therefore, the store staff has arranged the ordering in advance
This way you can enjoy your meal directly after sitting down

Since we ran out of pork chops, I chose Tang Yang Chicken this time.
In addition, you can upgrade the package for +60 and choose two from four options.
(The four options are tofu/hash browns/soup/drinks)
I chose borscht and sesame tofu

Overall
Curry can be eaten with vegetables and minced meat.
The taste is not too strong and is relatively close to Japanese style.
Tangyang chicken is also very tender. I saved my main meal until the end.
There's a lot of borscht, as well as diced king oyster mushrooms and potatoes.
Sesame tofu is a matter of opinion, but the sesame flavor is very strong and very good.

There’s nothing I can’t dislike until I finish the last bite.
I would also like to share it with my friends to try it out

Until 20:30, the store reminded me that I hope you can check out first.
I understand that the store may still have to perform closing operations.
I've also worked in the catering industry and I can all cooperate.
So move towards the checkout direction first.

But after checking out, I found that the unfinished meals had been sorted by the store.
Although there may be one bite left, I still want to finish it

It is recommended that the store organizes the desktop next time
You can reconfirm with the guest to avoid making people feel bad.
Originally I wanted to leave directly, but for the sake of my own rights and those of others
I informed the store about this and I hope no one will encounter this again in the future.

This curry is located near Taipei Main Station and the Museum of Contemporary Art. I am a regular customer here. I used to get a $10 discount for takeout, so I often take it out, but this time I found that this discount has been cancelled.

There are not many seats in the store. There are generally about 18 seats at the table, and there are 3 seats at the bar. The curry smell in the store is very strong, and you will smell it on your clothes after eating.

After you sit down, the waiter will bring menus and water to your seat, and will also go to the table to order. You can just check out after finishing your meal, but there is no additional service fee. Like it.
p.s. The shop assistants are very cute, they were even cooler when I was taking photos

There is often a queue during dinner time, so there is a 60-minute dining time limit, but I think this is okay. Curry is not something that takes a long time to eat.

There are two flavors of curry sauce to choose from, "Japanese Classic" and "Nanyang Coconut Flavor", but I choose "Japanese Classic" every time, so I can't comment on "Nanyang Coconut Flavor" yet.
p.s. People who can tolerate spicy food are advised to ask the store clerk to add chili oil~

One of us ordered Japanese Tangyang Fried Chicken Curry for $180, and the other ordered Tianyuan Fried Chicken Curry for $210.
The difference between the two is that the Garden Fried Chicken Curry has some more vegetables, such as king oyster mushrooms, eggplants, bell peppers, and pumpkins. It feels like they are fried, which is very fragrant but not oily. It’s pretty awesome. I like Robben’s very much. All the vegetables are delicious, including the original cauliflower, carrots and potato cubes (the potato cubes are really delicious!)

Robben’s Tang Yang Fried Chicken is also very good. Although there are only 3 pieces, each piece is very big and tastes very good. Highly recommended! (I ate cheese pork chop before and thought it was just popu)

As for the curry sauce, it has a bit of minced meat, is darker, not too watery, and has enough flavor to go well with rice. The first time I ate it, I thought it was very delicious, but maybe because I ate it so often, I felt a little numb. Now I think the curry sauce is just right.

Add set menu + $60 (choose two from four options: black sesame cold tofu, hash browns, daily soup, and 40 yuan drink)
There are 2 small pieces of hash browns. They smell a bit like fuel consumption, but they don’t taste like they are good.
The daily soup is borscht, but I didn’t drink it because I don’t eat tomatoes. My friend said, “There are quite a lot of ingredients in the soup, and there are also chopped potatoes. It’s a passable borscht.”

Overall, the prices at Robben's are very reasonable, the food is delicious, and the portions are sufficient (the two of us only ordered one set meal and we were still super full after finishing it), and because it's close to home, it's my first choice when I want to eat curry. , if you happen to be near Taipei Main Station, I recommend you to come and eat~
