(Haemul pajeon)Pajeon with seafood
My Review:
I loved this! Way different from how I make it at home, this way is better. I waited a bit before eating it, which made it soggy, but if I had eaten it right there it would have been 5 stars!

My Review:
This restaurant also had many Michelin nods, but this was not it. It was hot and flavourless. I tried added some condiments, but that made it worse. I order the one with eel, but the eel was not deboned, so I couldn't eat this. Not much to write home about.

These were amazing. Great texture, and good seasoning. I kept comming back to these.

My Review:
These really good too, strong pepper flavour. But be careful when they are fresh out of the oven, because they are hot!

蛋餅夾油條
(Dànbǐng Jiā Yóutiáo)Fried breadsticks wrapped in an egg crepe
My Review:
Not entirely sure how to eat this, as it is way too big to fit into you mouth. So I had to unroll it and eat it, and the it is way less special. Just a thin omelette and fried airy breadsticks.
蘿蔔糕
(Luóbogāo)Radish cake
My Review:
Nice and filling, and the radish is not too overwhelming. It is really dense, and it is straight to the point. This portion was maybe a little to big.
🍽️ Restaurant

鼎泰豐
(Dǐng Tài Fēng)Din Tai Fung
My Review:
It is good, but I feel like I've had better. Maybe the restaurant experience is better, as this was just a little to wet for me at part. It is also pretty price compared to other foods here.
🐔 Chicken

🍞 Bakery
2 of 2 tried
哈密瓜麵包
(Hāmìguā Miànbāo)Melon bread
My Review:
This was nice, fresh out of the oven with some butter. It was crunch, but maybe a little to warm to enjoy the flavors well? It was not that much better from what I had from the convience store.
Mister Donut
(Mister Donut)Mister Donut donut
My Review:
A little to mushy, for my taste. I thought it would be more airy. Maybe I got the wrong flavour?
🍲 Hot Pot
1 of 1 tried
火鍋
(Huǒguō)Hot pot
My Review:
This was fine. I did not know what half the things were, and it was quite a bit of work to cook everything my self. But in the end I had a nice stew, that I filled with rice. This was also in Alisan, so maybe I would have liked it more in the city?

My Review:
Pretty good, I could taste that the dough was hand made! The sauce did wonders for me.
小籠包

I am not really a dessert person, and I was expecting this to be warm, but it was still pretty good!
フルーツサンド

This is just an excuse to eat fruit with whipped cream. The white bread is only there so your hands don't get dirty, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't good.

My Review:
These were really good! I can taste that they were fresh. Would have like a little more crush tough

I liked the curry filling in this one, more than the curry I got for the Katsu Karee. This was excellent, but only a little too simple.
カツサンド
(Katsu Sando)Deep-fried pork cutlet sandwich with soft white bread and tangy sauce
My Review:
This is just an excuse to eat a pork cutlet, but I'll take it! The soft white bread, without crust, is mostly there to make you feel better. I could have done with some sliced cabbage as well, for a crunch.
おこのみやき
(Okonomiyaki)Savory pancake with toppings
My Review:
There is somehting about the combination of the brown sauce, the mayonaise and the bonito flake that my tongue does not like. Once I scraped it off, it tasted fine.
たこやき
(Takoyaki)Octopus balls, a popular street snack
My Review:
The balls were more squishy than I expected them to be. Also the brownsauce + mayonaise + bonito flakes left a bad taste in my mouth that lasted for way too long.

Probably my fault for getting them from the convience store, but I was not that impressed.

My Review:
As you know, this stuff is amazing.

My Review:
This dish feels so simple, as it is mostly warm flavorful water, but still it impressed me!
焼きそば
(Yakisoba)Stir-fried noodles with vegetables and sweet-savory sauce
My Review:
This was great, especially with the beer! Juicy meat, crunchy cabbage and a smokey sauce. I had the classic problem with a noodles dish where all the goodies sink to the bottom. If it was mixed better, this could have been a 5!
🐔 Chicken

I didn't expect there to be an egg filling. This tasted really weird.

My Review:
A bit sandy and crumbly, but the big pieces of almond were a nice touch.
月饼
(Yuèbǐng)Mooncake (traditional festival pastry with sweet or savory filling)
My Review:
I had one with greenbean paste, and another with lotus seeds. Both strong flavors. Not really my style, but I see the potential. (I tried some with a jam like filling too, those were much better)
