[Taiwan] 台北,捷運南京復興站,暴走食舖 (Boso Food)

又來到了週五,似乎該嘗試些比較特別的食物,Google了一番,找到了這家在回家路上的日式居酒屋料理─暴走食舖。
It's Friday, so I search for some food that I may not eat during week days. Boso Food, it's an izakaya, a type of informal Japanese gastropub.


店內裝飾滿簡單的,以水泥牆底色的粗獷風為主,放了幾張暴走風格的海報。
There are some posters represent Boso, the name of the gastropub.


菜單,樣式還不少,其中,燒烤類在八點後,第二串半價,還不錯的優惠。
The menu. For the barbecues, the second one has 50% off if you order after 8 PM.


前幾天,才有同事跟我聊到一種減肥方式,晚餐不吃澱粉,只吃蛋白質與蔬果,正好烤肉第二串半價,決定來試試,就點了一桌的烤物,哈哈~
My colleagues mentioned to me that there is a way to lose weight, no starch for the dinner. For me, it's an interesting thing to try. So I didn't order rice or noodles for the night.


香烤肥腸,外脆內軟,非常好吃。 
Pork Intestines. It's crispy outside and soft inside, and very delicious.


串烤牛肉,牛肉烤得太熟了,肉質偏老。 
Beef. It's well done beef, which means it's not that soft.


串烤雞肉,吃起來應該是雞腿肉,相對來說是有彈性的肉,只是吃不太出來雞肉的甜味,調味又不夠重,平平的肉串。 
Yakitori, I think it's made by chicken leg. It's chewy but the taste is just so so. I couldn't taste the sweet of chicken and nor the flavor of seasonings.


泡菜豬肉捲,跟其他肉串相比,這一串是重口味,不過其實泡菜只有小辣,搭配上軟嫰的培根肉,很好吃的。 
Bacon with kimchi. Compares to others, this one is the strongest. The kimchi is just a little bit spicy and with the nice cooked bacon, taste very good.


蒜烤雞腿排,點來作為主食,但跟雞肉串有一樣的問題,味道太淡,又沒有雞肉本身的甜味。 
Chicken leg with garlic taste. Same problem of the yakitori, there is no any specific flavor.


炙燒明太子阿根廷魷魚,非常好吃,魷魚很Q,再搭上濃郁的明太子,提供了更多樣的口味變化。 
Squid with Mentaiko. This is my favorite for the dinner. The squid is very fresh and very chewy, so good. With the mentaiko, it provides more flavor then just barbecue.


綜合烤鮮蔬,有杏鮑菇,青椒和玉米筍,青菜滿新鮮好吃的,但真的放太多黑胡椒了,搶了蔬菜本身的風味。
Barbecue vegetables. The vegetables, mixed with pleurotus eryngii, green pepper and baby corn, are very good but too much pepper that covers the sweet of the vegetables themselves.
The Pleurotus eryngii also known as king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes, trumpet royale. Reference from Wikipedia.

總結來說,由於沒有點主食,點了比較多的肉串,因此總價沒有預計的便宜,總共742元,一般台灣居酒屋的均價應該大約要1000元上下吧,尤其有點飲料的話;不過這兒的食物稍微遜色了點,雞肉和牛肉料理得不太到位呀!
As a conclusion, because I didn't order rice or noodles, it's not that cheap for the dinner, totally NTD 742 (includes one soft drink which I didn't take a photo). Compares to other izakaya in Taipei, usually around NTD 1,000. 
For the foods, the chicken is not good and the beef is so so here. Others are delicious.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運松江南京站,牛不花

牛不花,不花在蒙古語中也是牛的意思,基本上這就是一家以自家的牛肉麵自豪的餐廳,從介紹來看,我覺得重點就在其湯頭。
This is a restaurant serves beef noodles with Mongolia style.


於是就點了招牌雪花鍵心雙併白湯麵,還滿少看到名字這麼長的餐點。
I ordered the beef noodles with shank and brisket.


不知是不是蒙古習俗,上了幾片餅乾作為開胃菜,餅乾本身滿好吃的。
It provides some cookies for appetizer. Kind of weird for me, but I don't know if this is really Mongolia style or just a new idea of the chef.


略微奇怪的是這兒還供應酒精飲料,不知背後是不是有什麼故事,所以才把牛肉麵和酒精連結在一起,蒙古天冷,餐餐配酒吃飯?忘了這杯是什麼了,總之是雞尾酒,調酒總是帶著甜味與淡淡的酒精味,滿好喝的。
Here also serves some alcohol drinks. This is cocktail with something I don't remember, it might be mango taste.


除了主餐,另外加點了夫妻肺片,小菜普通,而且料比預估地少,跟之前沒多久吃過的川耗子相比,不太划算...
The side dish is Beef and Ox Trip in Chili Sauce which is just so so and a little bit expensive...




湯頭雖然看起來很濃郁,但其實喝起來沒什麼味道,我的口味在朋友中已經算是清淡的,每次吃飯的沾醬,我都只是沾一下,用來提味而已,但這碗湯真的喝不出味道,淺嚐了一下,就加了些蒜味來提味;除此之外,麵條和牛肉都很好吃,只是就給人一種三者沒有融合,不是整體的感覺。 
The beef noodle is good. The white soup is what the chef very proud of. He spends many hour to cook it. Even it looks really strong, if it is Ramem. In fact, I can't taste any specific flavor. It's so light that the menu recommends the customer to use the meshed garlic to extract more flavor. The noodles and beef shank or brisket are good, really delicious.


甜點,好吃的梅子點心。 
A cute dessert, really nice.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運西湖站,炭為觀止窯烤披薩屋 (Bake King Pizza Pub)

在捷運西湖站附近,有條411巷,是附近許多餐廳,攤販聚集的美食區,在這眾多的中式料理中,炭為觀止提供了很特別的選擇─窯烤披薩。
This is a restaurant very close to Metro Xihu station. Most of the restaurants nearby are Chinese foods, this one is very unique. It serves wood fire kiln pizza.


台灣常見的三種義式料理─披薩,義大利麵和燉飯,這兒都有提供,既然以披薩為名,自然是要嚐嚐囉,我點了一個窯燒香辣花枝披薩套餐,包含了一份雞米花。
It provides pizza, pasta and risotto. All these three kinds of food in Taiwan are called Italian foods. I ordered a 9 inches pizza of squid. And plus NTD 88 and have a set with side dish, soup and drink.


自助式的蕃茄湯,可無限續碗。
The soap is unlimited, so you should ladle out the soap by your own.


不錯吃的雞米花,外脆內軟,也不油膩,挺適合搭配披薩的。
The popcorn chicken, crispy and chewy. Good.



披薩上桌之後,有點懷疑是不是上成了海鮮披薩,不過...管他的呢,反正有蝦有花枝,還有蟹肉絲,很好吃,真的讓人感慨,披薩還是要吃窯烤的才美味,一般烤箱烤的就是差了一點,這間就是我方便的好選擇!
I guess the chef gave me the pizza with seafood, not squid. Anyway, the pizza is delicious with lots of seafood. I like the taste with crispy crust and not too much cheese but full of fresh foods.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運中山站,酒留米日式精食居酒屋 (Kurume Izakaya)

這天,人在捷運中山站附近,想找間日式餐廳作為晚餐,用了App在附近尋找,沒想到走了走,來到這間離捷運站其實有點距離的日式居酒屋─酒留米。
What I was at the Metro Zhongshan station, I use Google maps try to find a good restaurant for my dinner. So I found this Japanese restaurant, the Kurume Izakaya.


而且這附近的巷弄稍微有點混亂,明明兩步外就是中山北路,但彎進來的巷子卻都叫做華陰街,找不到56巷,幸好靠著Google地圖的定位,還是順利找到。
It's a little weird that the address is on Zhongshan North Road, but the alley nearby all called Huayin Street...Anyway, Google maps guide me to find the restaurant.


一坐下來,桌上放著一付碟筷加一粒花生,吃完後可作為筷架使用。
Every seat already has the chopsticks, a plate and peanut. When finish the peanut, the shell can be the chopsticks holder. 




翻開菜單,發現這兒的烤物不多,因此沒有點很多食物,多點了一瓶北海道網走的白啤酒,挺順口好喝的,不過,價格偏高,一瓶280元,我本來以為會是玻璃瓶裝的,結果卻是易開罐...
After reading the menu, it doesn't serve much barbecue stuff. I just ordered a little and had a bear from Hokkaido. It's kind of light bear, very smooth. But the price is a little bit high. What I expected is 500 or 600 c.c. in a glass, not just 350 c.c. can for NTD 280.


烤雞心,切薄片後烤得火候相當一致,很香,也保留了雞心的Q度,好吃。
Chicken heart. It's sliced for easy heating. Smells good and very chewy. Delicious.


烤雞腿肉,表皮微焦,內裡鎖位水份,非常多汁,烤得很棒!
Chicken leg. Juicy and chewy taste of the chicken leg which is the best.


松阪豬炒水蓮,出乎意料地大盤,水蓮很青脆,非常好吃,吃得非常過癮。
Fried white water snowflake with Matsusaka pig. The white water snowflake is very crispy and fresh, very delicious. 




明太子炒烏龍,烏龍麵很Q,算是簡單的美味!
Yakiudon with Mentaiko, an easy, simple and delicious main dish.  

東西好吃,只是上菜順序和我預期的不一樣,我以為會是晚餐模式,先上炒烏龍+炒水蓮,然後再上烤物讓我配啤酒,結果店家提供續攤模式,先上酒,接著上烤物,讓同桌的人好好聊天,等真的準備要散場時,再上水蓮和烏龍麵讓大家吃飽,實在有點不符合我的預期呀~
The food is good at Kurume Izakaya, but the style is a little bit different than I expected. I though it should serve the Yakiudon and Fried white water snowflake first. After I finish them, I can enjoy the barbecue and the bear for my dessert. In fact, it's totally different. The chef provide the bear and barbecue first for those friends just after work to have something to eat and chat or even complain something from work. Ha, I think this is the style of Izakaya in Japan.

[Taiwan] 台北,捷運港墘站,川耗子南北麵典

某天黃昏,在內湖737巷附近找餐廳,由於看到某拉麵店的評分很高,找到了這一帶,沒想到拉麵店沒開,最後就在隔壁的川耗子南北麵典吃晚餐,我是做好了會被辣慘的心理準備推開大門,沒想到...
One day, I was going out for dinner in Neihu. To be honest, I was looking for the Ramen restaurant, but it was closed on that day. So I just choose the one next door, the noodle from Sichuan Province. When saw it, I had the expectation it will be spicy.




先點了蕃茄牛腩麵作為主食,雖然看起來好像有不少辣油,不過吃起來不辣,麵條很Q,很好吃,牛腩也還算大塊,挺好吃的一碗的牛肉麵,在快吃完時才發覺它的威力,看來湯頭應該加了不少花椒去熬煮,後來就開始冒汗,也感覺到舌頭麻麻的,算是另一種體驗。
The famous noodle from Sichuan in Taiwan is Beef Noodle, so I ordered it. The noodle is delicious and springy. And the beef is a big piece of sirloin, very chewy. Even it looks red, it's not spicy for me who doesn't really eat spicy foods. I guess the chef put many Chinese red pepper, so it tastes numb and still make me sweat.



小菜則點了燙青菜和夫妻肺片,有趣的是在查找夫妻肺片的英文翻譯,原來在2008年北京奧運時,曾經為了中式料理而推出了料理的官方翻譯,查不到網路版本的內容,沒想到卻在兩篇報導中查到不一樣的翻譯,就一起寫上來了。
I also ordered two side dishes. One is Boiled Vegetables and the other is Pork Lungs in Chili Sauce or Beef and Ox Trip in Chili Sauce. 

整體來說,口味還是比一般的台式料理重了點,不過有個優點是麻辣,而不是紅辣椒的刺激性的辣,讓比較不能吃辣的人也可吃出食物的美味,雖然吃到後面舌頭就麻了...另一個優點是餐廳附有冰水跟冷氣,吃飽後就可以降溫之後再離開,哈~
Generally speaking, all these three dishes have more strong flavor than usual Taiwanese foods. It's good. And they are not spicy, but numb. And I still sweat a lot. A good thing is that the restaurant has air condition and ice water. After I finish them, I sit in there for 5 minutes to cool down, ha~

[Taiwan] 花蓮(Hualien),東大門夜市(Dongdameng Night Market)

吃完冰,接著來逛夜市,我們來到了東大門夜市,這真是一個奇怪的夜市,似乎結合了好幾個不同夜市的攤商,一邊叫東大門市夜,另一個入口又寫著福町夜市,然後裡面還有原住民一條街,各省一條街,感覺就是個大雜燴的夜市,相對就沒有自己的特色,或許因為這是個新規劃的夜市,所以攤商之間的空位很多,相對來說很好逛,只是就有點沒感覺,哈哈~
To me, this is a weird night market. There are are different names when you arrive the market. From one side is called Dongdameng, and the other side is Futing night market. And there are also the Streets of Aboriginal Cuisines and the Streets of China Cuisines... It's a big night market, but someone may say there is nothing special for this night market.

在中間的廣場上,這個晚上還有原住民歌手的現場演唱!
Live music with local band.



後來,選擇來來烤肉,買了宵夜回旅館吃,烤得還不錯,只是聊得開心,配著啤酒都吃下肚後,還是沒想到要拍照記錄,呵~
At last, we chose barbecue for the ending of this day.

[Taiwan] 花蓮(Hualien),五霸焦糖包心粉圓

吃完扁食,下一攤是五霸焦糖包心粉圓,一個我之前都沒聽過的冰點,不過似乎挺紅的,在晚上九點半左右,還是好多人排隊,老闆想收攤都不行,客人沒停過~
When finishing the won ton, next stop is a restaurant for ice. So hot, and then so cool. Ha, ha~ This is kind of Taiwan style.


其實選擇不多,不過以那繁雜的工序,如果樣式多點,恐怕就更忙不過來了~
There are not many choices, just some minor difference about what inside the ice. If it's winter, user might select hot desserts, but not today.




五霸焦糖包心粉圓算是一般刨冰的變形,固定提供十餘種的內容物,然後在冰上加煉乳,就成了這一道五霸焦糖包心粉圓,滿好吃的,甜味相對糖水來說,比較柔和,只是冰的部分稍微少了點,有一點點不過癮~
This is my first time to try this and there are so many sweats under the ice. It's really delicious. Usually I don't try so many, because I may focus to have more ice to cool down.
