某天，女友介紹了一間位在捷運中山站附近的居酒屋-時代1931，原來這是日本的東京餐廳工坊有限公司來台開的第二間餐廳，前身是一間彈珠汽水工坊，在二樓仍可看到當時的管線，改建之後營造成1931年，帶著日本風味的台灣餐廳，也由於1931年正好是電影《KANO》中，嘉農棒球隊贏得全台冠軍，赴日本參加夏季甲子園大賽的那一年，在二樓，就有個角落展示著相關物品。
One night, my girl introduced me an izakaya near Metro Zhongshan station, Jidai 1931. It's an factory which produced ramune in the past, so you can still see the pipe lines at the second floor.
The decoration of this restaurant is trying to bring back the atmosphere in 1931 at Taiwan. Which is also the year Kano baseball team won the champion and go to Japan to join Summer Koshien in the movie, KANO. So you can find a corner at 2nd floor where demo relative items.
這兒的菜單有三大張，實在供應不少東西，在這麼一個下雨的夜晚，實在想喝碗暖暖的湯，於是就點了相撲鍋，再加上這兒的招牌菜-牛肉稻草燒，以及一些串燒。
There are three pages of the menu which means here serves many kinds of foods. Since it's really cold, so we have a chankonabe. And here is famous of the meat cooked by the straws, so we ordered a beef grilled by the straws. And several pieces of Skewered food.
這是我第一次看到三得利的生啤酒，一時沒忍住，就點了一杯來嚐嚐，泡沫很綿密，很容易入口，啤酒微帶點苦味，稍微少見一點(除了台啤)，還滿好喝的。
This is the first time I find a izakaya provides Suntory draft (draught) beer, so I ordered one cup to try. The bubble is soft and easy to drink, but the taste of the beer is just a little bit bitter.
常見的招待小菜-毛豆，口味比較輕淡一點，還不錯。
The free appetizer.
炒水蓮，由於比較少見而點，清脆鮮美，炒得很好吃。
The fried white water snowflake. We ordered it since it's not so common. It's crispy and tastes good.
雞心串燒，少見的整顆雞心，吃過很多家都只提供切片雞心，整顆雞心更容易把美味鎖在裡面，多汁又甜，非常好吃，因此建議不要，或者只滴幾滴檸檬就好，這樣酸味才不會蓋過雞心的鮮美。
The chicken heart. This is really good because it's the whole heart. Not like others which slice it as pieces. With a whole, it can easily keep the juice inside and makes it mellow and tasty.
烤帶皮玉米筍，必須說，這真的是我吃過最不好吃的了，感覺好像沒烤熟，仍然帶點硬硬的玉米筍，或許因此甜味沒有出來，普普。
The baby corn which I don't recommend to try here. I guess the chef doesn't grill it well so it is too hard and not sweet.
大蒜雞腿肉串燒，個人覺得這個蒜味醬的調味不是太好，或許怕蒜味太濃讓人反感，但我覺得調得太淡了，沒有蒜香，且醬料本身卻又蓋過了雞肉香，反而嚐不出食材的味道，有點普通的一道菜。
The garlic chicken leg, it's so so.
相撲鍋非常好吃，尤其是豬肉丸子，吸飽了湯汁，一口咬下，口中豐富的鮮美味，再加上豬肉的香甜，很棒，還會覺得只有三顆丸子，實在好少。
The chankonabe is really yummy in a winter day like today, a rainy day. The best I like it's the pork balls. It's flavorful of the soup and still sweet of pork, really delicious.
牛肉稻草燒，是我第一次吃用稻草烤出來的食物，真的覺得有不一樣的香味，雖然不確定是稻草香，呵~不過，烤得五分熟的牛肉，加點鹽，真的很好吃，就只是覺得少了點~
The beef (steak) grilled by the straws. It smells differently and taste good. It grilled really good, just medium rare. So good, just not enough even I already feel full.
總共是1,382元，算是便宜的居酒屋消費。
It costs NTD 1,382 in total.

週五晚上，微微飄著毛毛雨，來到了南京復興站旁，這條有著許多餐廳的小巷裡，不知該怎麼抉擇今天的晚餐，後來還是透過Google Maps的評價，選了這家有4.2顆星的11 Pasta 食義。
On a Friday night, I took the Metro to Nanjing Fuxing Station first, then I found this restaurant, 11 Pasta, has a really high score on Google Maps. So I eat my dinner here.
義大利麵是餐廳主要供應的餐點，印象中似乎是加個70元可以升級套餐，不過我想要吃義大利麵加披薩，如果升級套餐應該就吃不完了，透過觀察四周客人的餐點份量，再與服務生確認，最後點了清炒檸檬海鮮義大利麵，以及經典瑪格莉特PIZZA，口味上都比較淡一點，應該是吃得完的，服務生也提醒了一句，如果擔心吃不完，至少披薩是可以外帶的。
Just like the name, it serves Italian foods. Majorly are pastas. Although I'm only one person, I still want to try pasta and pizza, so I ask the waiter how big is the meal. He said if I really eat a lot, maybe I can try. If I cannot finish it, the pizza can be take away. So I ordered the Spaghetti with sea food in lemon sauce and Magretta pizza which should be lighter for me to finish.
提供的檸檬水壺與水杯，檸檬還滿新鮮的，水裡真的有檸檬香與檸檬酸，呵～
The lemon water which you can really taste the flavor of water. I believe this means the lemon is fresh.
餐具，覺得店家有比較用心去找合適的餐具，與餐廳氛圍有搭。
The tablewares.
義大利的義大利麵地圖，忘了上次是在哪裡看到的，很適合在這兒展示。
An interesting map which shows different pastas located in Italy.
清炒檸檬海鮮義大利麵一上桌，心就安了一半以上，擺盤很漂亮，不過麵的份量沒有很多，應該可以輕鬆解決，加上濃郁的檸檬香，清爽順口，真的是一下子就吃完了，而且，海鮮配料還很多樣化，居然還有少見的魚片與孔雀蛤，讓人很滿足。
The Spaghetti with sea food in lemon sauce. When I saw it, I know I can finish the meal, I portion is not so big as I expected. This is my first time to try pasta with lemon sauce, it makes me feel light while eating it. There are multiple sea foods that includes fish and peacock clams which are rare to see. That's good.
店家另外有提供一個置放貝殼類的小盤，這是一個沒有那麼多餐廳會注意，但如果有提供，又是一個很貼心的小服務，讚！
The waiter also serves an extra plate to keep the shells. It's a small part of the services but which will make the customer thinks the chef really cares. This is a really good service.
經典瑪格莉特PIZZA，披薩中間軟Q，帶著濃濃的起士香，外圍一圈貼是酥脆可口，搭配得非常好吃。
The Magretta pizza. It's simple and yummy. The inner is soft but the outer is crispy, tastes really good.
以整體的份量來說，11 Pasta 食義並不像請請義大利餐廳那麼多，如果在請請，義大利麵加上披薩會讓我吃到十二分飽，在這兒大概就是九點五分到十分吧，算是吃得滿足又過癮呀！如果有兩個人以上，推薦要點兩盤義大利麵加上一個披薩，這麼好吃的食物，多吃一點吧！
As a conclusion for the portion of 11 Pasta. Compares to Cin Cin Osteria which I also ate pasta and a pizza. If I feel 120% when I finish the foods in Cin Cin Osteria, here is just about 95% to 100%. If you came with 2 persons, you should definitely try two pastas and one pizza to try more yummy foods here.

第二天，我們的行程是前往三鷹之森吉卜力美術館，由於買到的門票是下午四點鐘，在此之前就先在吉祥寺地區逛街，大約十一點初頭來到這間位於六鳴館二樓的比內や吉祥寺店，或許因為是平常日加上到的時間也早，我們是當天前幾組客人，不用等待直接入座。
On the 2nd day, we plan to visit Ghibli Museum, so we take the metro to Kichijōji Station then walked there. Our first stop is Hinaiya to eat our lunch. When we arrived at 11:30 AM, they are just opened. We can directly get in.
看完菜單之後，既然這兒還有串燒，決定一次吃個過癮，點五份串燒加上親子丼的套餐，1980円。
Since I love chicken, I want to eat as much as I can, I directly order the Oyakodon with 5 pieces of Skewered food.
每桌都有的醃漬小菜，應該是梅子類，很酸，嚐嚐即可。
The free side dishes, which is sour, and sour only.
原來應該是四份串燒加上一顆半熟蛋嗎？哈～基本上，除了最後一樣的雞肉丸子普普，或許因為被做成絞肉之後，雞的香甜味道就不容易出來，其他都很好吃，尤其是嫰Q的雞心與雞肝，雞的香甜與美味，完全可以品嚐出來～
The 5 pieces of Skewered food are really yummy especially for the chicken liver and chicken heart.
重頭戲的親子丼，那半熟蛋的視覺美感與口中的滑嫰口感，真的是讓人一口接一口，再加上剛好煮熟的雞肉塊，真的是一下子就可以扒完大半碗飯，超美味的啦！
The oyakodon, when the liquid egg mixed with the rice, it looks so luscious. I just can't stop. With the soft and chewy chicken, it's wonderful.
最後加上一杯生啤，真是爽快！
End with a cup of beer, bravo!

愛樂廚房是間在公館算是挺有名氣的韓式銅盤烤肉吃到飽餐廳，只要380元即可，若平日來，還能四人同行，一人免費，等於一個人只要285元，真的是非常划算，更好的是，居然還不收服務費。
This is an all you can eat Korea BBQ restaurant in Taipei with cheap price. Each person only needs NTD 380, and if you come with a group of 4 people, one person is free during weekdays. Which means only NTD 285 per person. There is also another good thing, no extra 10% service fee.
看了菜單才知道，原來這兒還提供580吃到飽，增加了一些海鮮類，如蝦，蛤蜊等等，還有比較高級的牛肉，不過以鍋盤烤肉來說，倒不會想吃這些，故點了380的吃到飽。
Actually, there are two sets of the menu, NTD 380 or 580. The set of NTD 580 has sea foods and better class of beef. Tonight, we just want some meats, so we order the NTD 380.
點完不到五分鐘，桌上就放滿了。
When we ordered, the waiter just serves everything you can order on the table.
一開始就放了滿滿的料的銅盤烤肉，侍者直接就放了一盤雞肉上去，很嫰很好吃，其他的菜色，基本上都可以在吃到飽專區進行補充，但豆腐除外，我沒找到，這一點很可惜，甜美的肉汁都流到四周成為湯底，若能有幾塊豆腐吸收，一定很好吃。
The BBQ. It's chicken on the pot. For me, the chicken is more sweet and soft than pork. The vegetables you can have more.
算是普通的辣炒年糕與豬肉。
The pork.
可另外單點的味噌湯，海鮮煎餅與韓式炸雞，裡面我最喜歡炸雞，薄薄的麵衣加上飽滿的肉汁，很好吃，建議要第一盤解決，冷了之後，就覺得有點太油，沒那麼好吃了；至於海鮮煎餅與味噌湯算是普通。
The fried chicken, soup and seafood pancake. The fried chicken is the best with the thin coating and juicy chicken. The miso soup and seafood pancake are OK.
在吃到飽專區，還有幾樣韓式小菜，我們拿的不多，以韓式泡菜與海帶芽為主，這兒的泡菜真的挺好吃，夠辣且夠脆！
The kimchi is Korean style, crispy and spicy. It tastes really good.
就肉類來說，愛樂廚房提供羊肉，雞肉(辣雞肉與一般雞肉，應該都是雞胸肉)，豬肉與牛肉(牛肉應該是牛五花與牛小排)，樣式算是充足，我個人最喜歡的是雞肉與牛五花，比較鮮嫰多汁。
There are lamb, beef, chicken and pork as the choices for meat. For me, I like the beef and chicken which I recommend you can focus on. And don't set a high expectation for what you eat, this is a NTD 380 buffet, don't forget about this.
不過這兒有兩點，我個人不太喜歡：
1. 居然不接受兩個人的訂位，雖然兩個人在週五晚上七點半抵達，也是不用等就有位子。
2. 居然問都不問，就直接把熟食區可單點的菜式全部上了一桌，飲料也是預先設定好的檸檬紅茶，然後在廚房快要結束供餐時，居然把沒什麼人拿取的甜地瓜，強迫中獎式地分發到每一桌，實在讓人覺得不遵重來用餐的客人。
最後，則是一個提醒，不要吃這兒的冰淇淋，化學味道太重。
There are two things I don't really like about this restaurant:
1. It doesn't accept a reservation for only 2 people.
2. The chef doesn't ask what we want to order for the dishes, he just serves everything.
And one thing I really don't recommend you to try here, the ice cream. I believe it should be a really, really cheap ice cream. The taste is awful. Don't try it.
總結一下，以380元吃到飽來評價，這兒的餐點水準是足夠的，或許因為位在學校附近，相對要吵雜一點，因此雖然叫做「愛樂廚房」，但其實並沒有什麼來此享受音樂的感覺，反而是個不錯的，與朋友聚餐的地點，不會吵雜到聽不清與朋友之間的聊天，也不會太安靜到分心去聽其他桌的聊天，真沒想到可以控制地這麼好，哈～
As a conclusion, it's worthy as a NTD 380 all you can eat restaurant. The quality is OK for the price. You can come here with your friends for chatting.

與同事飛抵紐西蘭基督城時，完全沒想到今天(12月9日)的晚餐要自理，想說這次應該算是跟團旅行，應該都包在團費裡才是，原來只有騎車期間才全包，哈～總之，大家一起在七點多出門逛逛找餐廳，有幾位一起看上了這間，風格挺不同的餐廳用餐，寫部落格時一查才發現，原來這是間南美風格的餐廳，難怪風格很不同。
When we arrived Christchurch on Dec 9th, 2017, I didn't expect that we need to find our dinner by ourselves. I thought everything was included with the company tour. Anyway, we walked on the street and try to find something special, this building seems really different compares to others. After some search, it's a South America style restaurant. We're lucky to find it.
說實話，點餐時其實看不懂Espetada這個字，但因為很餓，還是要點有肉的，於是就點了牛肉(Beef)，室友反而不太餓，就只點了捲餅；回來一查才知道，Espetada是葡萄牙語，意思是串燒，難怪上菜時會是一盤成串的牛肉塊。
Because there are so many people here, my colleagues are separated to several tables. My roommate and I were sat on a table of two. We ordered the Beef Espetada and Burritos (because my roommate is not hungry, but I was).
牛肉串燒的賣相非常好，烤得五分熟的牛肉塊串成一串，掛在洋蔥，黑豆等蔬菜上，雖然沒有肉汁一直往下滴，但仍保有這樣的意向，感覺滋味就很棒，切塊後與底下的配菜一起入口，滋味多變，好吃。
The Beef Espetada is really attractive. It is grilled as medium rare which is perfect with the onions and beans. It's tasty.
捲餅還算是不錯，只是沒有牛肉串燒那麼驚艷。
The burritos is simple, but yummy.
