[Taiwan] 台北,捷運東門站,廖家牛肉麵 (Liao Beef Noodle)


某個週日的下午,女朋友介紹我們來到金華街吃有名的廖家牛肉麵,本來想說都已經下午兩點了,應該可以立即享用,沒想到,居然還要排隊...還好是只有十個人左右,大概就等個十五到廿分鐘,如果再更久一點,或許我可能就會改變心意了。
這兒的菜單很簡單,直接貼在玻璃門上,牛肉麵(分大碗小碗),牛肉湯麵,牛肉湯跟牛骨湯,沒得選擇,直接來兩碗牛肉麵。
On a Sunday afternoon, we came to Liao Beef Noodle at 2 o'clock PM. We expect that we should be able to directly get in and get something to eat. But, there are around 10 people before us. This really surprises me.
The menu is really simple, it only serves Beef Noodle, Noodle with beef soup (no beef), and Beef soup only. 



進了店面才發現,幾乎桌桌都另外點了小菜,我也去點了幾道,豬耳朵,豆干海帶,與台式泡菜,前三樣滷菜都不錯,有入味,只是覺得豬耳朵的C/P值不高,少了點,但是豆干非常棒,能有這麼好的刀工的麵店不多,切得這麼細,很適合沾點醬汁,很容易散發至全口,好吃,推薦為必點小菜;泡菜則是典型的酸酸甜甜的台式泡菜,而且甜味略重,也挺不錯。
Besides the beef noodle, people always will have some side dishes here. We had pig ear, bean curd, kelp, and Taiwan style kimchi. The bean curd is something you must have here. Not just because it's tasty but also how the chef slices it. It's not easy to find a place to serve the bean curd with such thin style which provides you a different taste.




重頭戲的牛肉麵,湯頭是清燉湯頭,搭配上紅燒牛肉,這是我第一次吃到這樣的組合,有點新奇,又很符合我的胃口,喜歡喝清燉湯頭,吃紅燒牛肉,又比較有味道,而且,覺得老闆滷牛肉時是不是有什麼特殊手法,一口咬下,有鼓特別的口味充盈口中,我覺得是以蒜味為主的味道,其他的我就嚐不出來了,算是有點有趣又會讓人一口接一口的滋味,很棒!麵雖然是陽春麵,煮的硬度剛好,仍有嚼勁,跟著湯汁一起下肚,很好吃;至於搭配的空心菜也很新鮮,跟牛肉味又很搭,真的是很棒的一碗牛肉麵,難怪這個時間點還要排隊(我們入內用餐時,後面仍然至少排了十個人,看來即使是非用餐時間,等十個人也算是正常)。
The beef noodle. The spinach tastes good with the beef soup. This is kind of special not so many beef noodle restaurants provide these two together. The soup is light and you can still taste a little beef flavor. The noodle is chewy and tastes better to eat with the beef soup. The beef is really special. When I bite it, I can taste something goes out from it and full of my mouth. I guess it's garlic flavor, and maybe others but I can't tell. It's unique and delicious.

[Japan] 東京,台東區,麵屋武藏武骨相傳 (Menya Musashi Bukotsu Souden)


逛了一整天,一直到晚上八點才注意到還沒有吃,就在阿美橫町尋找晚餐,看到麵屋武藏的招牌,想起在台灣吃過,都挺好吃的,就決定也在日本吃吃,看看是否一樣美味?
It's already passed eight o'clock and we just found out that we hadn't had our dinner. Since we didn't have a chance to eat ramen for this trip in Tokyo, we select this ramen restaurant for our dinner, the Menya Musashi Bukotsu Souden. Even it's almost 9 PM, the customers are kept coming.


這兒採用的是自助點餐,餐點選擇沒有那麼多,就分成豚骨(白),蒜味(黑)和辣味(紅),基本上我比較喜歡湯麵,就點了厚切叉燒豚骨拉麵,女朋友則覺得湯麵都太鹹,點了辣味沾麵;今天在寫Blog時一查,才發現這兒是以沾麵出名的店?
It uses a machine to handle the orders. It's simple, you can select the classical taste (white, cooked with pork bones), spicy (red) and garlic (black), and with soup (ramen) or Tsukemen.



厚切叉燒一上,真的是讓我大大地驚訝了一把!居然有七大厚片的叉燒,真的是太爽了,尤其是一個這麼餓的晚上~
The thick chashu with classical taste. This is my first time to have so many chashu, it's wonderful since I was so hungry.




湯看起來還算是輕淡的,不過豬骨的味道有出來,麵用的是細麵,很Q,帶上豬骨湯的味道,真是好吃;厚切叉燒是以瘦肉為主,可以這樣大口吃肉的感覺,真是超棒的!
The soup is tasty and you can tell that the noodle has the flavor from the soup. It's good. The chashu doesn't have that much oil, you can just eat them and don't need to worry about the fat.



女朋友點的沾麵,印象中不會很辣,也不錯吃,叉燒部分則有比較多的肥肉,相較更軟嫰一點。
My girlfriend ordered the spicy Tsukemen.

[Japan] 東京,千代田區,萬世牧場 (肉的萬世,Niku Mansei)


這天我們的行程是在秋葉原逛街,透過網路在附近找了間口啤不錯的店,位在肉的萬世五樓的萬世牧場,到了才知道,原來整棟樓都是肉的萬世,每層樓提供不同的肉料理,提供燒肉的萬世牧場位在五樓,來吃和牛燒肉~
Today's tour is to go around the Akihabara, so we find a restaurant nearby for our lunch - the Niku Mansei. The whole building is belong to the company and with different style of food for each floor. 



上到五樓,發現視野還不錯,不過,用餐過程中,要專心顧肉,都要抓三到五分熟,實在很少有機會往外看就是了;今天特地利用中午來品嚐日本的和牛燒肉,畢竟在日本(印象中似乎歐美也是如此),想品嚐好料時(尤其是很貴的好料),中午去吃可以省點錢,晚上總是會比較貴的。
We go up to the 5th floor for the Korea-style Brabeque. If you want to eat something good, or you may say expensive, try it for the lunch. It will always cheaper than dinner. Today, we came here for the Wagyu.


由於是午餐,提供的都是套餐,若是晚餐,那就要單點了。我們點了三種牛肉(和牛赤身,牛小排與牛舌)與厚切牛舌兩份套餐。
The lunch menu, it's available until 4 PM. Every selection is a set which will include salad, side dishes, rice and soup. We select the Variety of the Meat (wagyu healthy cut, wagyu kalbi and beef tongue) and Thick sliced beef tongue (upper grade).




套餐包含沙拉,泡菜,白飯與湯,除了白飯算是表現平平, 日本的白飯似乎總是比較好吃。
The set includes salad, side dishes, rice and soup. It's OK besides the rice. The rice is always good when you eat it in Japan.

吃了燒肉,似乎不能不配一杯啤酒呀!
Since barbeque is hot, I need bear to cool me down.


厚切牛舌,超級嫰,烤個三到五分熟,真是甜美極了~
The beef tongue is really really good, especial it's so thick.



和牛赤身,也就是和牛的廋肉,雖然油花較少,吃起來仍然很嫰,好吃。牛小排更不用說,唯一的一點小遺憾是牛舌難以避免地被厚切牛舌比下去了,有那麼一點美中不足,如果能換個部位的肉就好了!
The wagyu healthy cut, wagyu kalbi are good, but the beef tongue is not that good when we already have the thick sliced beef tongue (upper grade).

[Japan] 東京,中央區, 牛かつ もと村 コレド室町店 (Gyuukatsumotomura)



看完金魚展之後,時間也差不多到了用晚餐的時間,就在日本橋室町二號大樓的地下一樓,找到一家炸牛排的店─牛かつ もと村 コレド,我在2016年時於京都的京都勝牛第一次吃到炸牛排,一直想再回味一下,於是決定在此用餐。
At Coredo Muromachi 2 B1, there is a famous restaurant which serves fried steak, the Gyuukatsumotomura. In 2016, that's my first time to try the new food, fried steak, at Kyoto Katsugyu. It's delicious. Since I didn't have a plan for today's dinner, we decided to try the fried steak.


每個人的位置都有一塊石板,上菜之後才知道是用來再次加熱牛排用的,由為廚師只會將牛排炸到三分熟,每個人再依自己喜好,重新加熱到五分,七分,甚至全熟加以享用,算是一種客制化的服務。
It has a hot slate for each customer to heat the steak again. I guess the chef may only fry the steak about 30 seconds, it's just Rare. So they provide the hot slate for the user to heat it for himself.










這兒的炸牛排有兩種,一塊130克,兩塊260克,既然難得有機會,當然是點兩塊,軟嫰的牛排,搭配高麗菜絲,哇沙米,或是光吃,各種不同美妙滋味與口感,真是好吃~
There are two sized of the steak, 130g or 260g. Based on my experience in Kyoto, I want to eat two pieces, ha~

[Japan] 東京,中央區,「江戸・金魚の涼」 金魚藝術展 (Art Aquarium)



 


逛完築地市場的下午,我們來到了日本橋,參觀一下日本道路的起點,日本橋,接著在橋上尋找麒麟雕像,那是我很喜歡的日本作家─東野圭吾的小說「麒麟之翼」的故事起點,雖然,我還沒看過那部小說,但能來到小說場景,還是讓人開心~
In the afternoon, we moved to Nihonbashi to watch the Art Aquarium. Before that, we went to Nihonbashi to visit the start of the roads in Japan. And also find the kirin statue which is also the start of a novel, Kirin no Tsubasa (Beautiful Wings). The author is Keigo Higashino, who is one of my favorite Japanese author.








接著來到日本橋室町大樓,在一樓,掛上了手繪的金魚燈籠,也在大樓前的廣場佈置了夏季慶典的攤位,可以在此感受一下日本夏季的夜晚愉悅氛圍。
The Art Aquarium is at Coredo Muromach.Before get in, you can see the hand-made latern and also there is a festival there. You can enjoy the atmosphere in the summer night in Japan.
























這是一個展示金魚,光線與流動的展覽,打光多彩多姿,絕大部分的展品也都可以360度觀賞,就是為了從不同角度欣賞,有時有點眼花瞭亂,有時又能看到一個不同的世界,有趣極了。
The show is all about the fish, light and movement. It's colorful and beautiful.


沒想到逛到最後,居然還發現新生物,真的沒想過會有藍色的水母,還以為水母都是近乎透明或是白色的。
And also a chance to know new things. I can't even image the jellyfish can has such color.


由於場地偏暗,加上現在大家都愛拍照留下美麗回憶,我覺得這個展挺適合情侶或是希望感情昇溫的「友達以上」來參觀。
This is also a good show for couples. You can knew why by above photo.

這個展覽的場館不算大,就看參觀的人有多愛拍照囉!畢竟現場的光源不多,如果用閃光燈,又太妨礙其他人觀賞,其實不太好拍,我估計一般應該可以逛個一小時到一個半小時。
With the colorful light, people like to take photos. At the same time, the light is not enough for people to take photos. It's kind of contradictory, but this is why people stay there for much longer. For me, I stayed for about 90 minutes. If you don't take so much photos, maybe one hour is enough.
