[Taiwan] 宜蘭，礁溪，冒煙的石頭，一泊三食之三食 (Smoking Rock Resort)

在預計冒煙的石頭時，若能在兩週前預付訂金，旅館會多贈送一餐，免費的無菜單料理的晚餐，於是，這次的小旅行就變成了一泊三食的養肉之旅～
If you can pay the down payment two weeks before your stay, you will have the free dinner at the Smoking Rock Resort. Which means you can have the afternoon tea, dinner, and the breakfast on the 2nd morning just like us. It's really good.

Check-in時，就會拿到三份餐券，包含下午茶，晚餐與隔天的早餐，當天由於Check-in時間已是下午四點初頭，櫃檯人員還提醒，由於餐點分量挺大，是否要放棄下午茶？由於自認食量比一般人略大，自然是回絕了，大家就參考一下下面照片，若太晚到，是否要放棄囉！
When you check in, you will receive the meal tickets like above for the meals. Remember to bring it with you for each meal.

下午茶的部分是一人一杯飲料再加上兩盤小點，上面這是梅子冰沙，份量真的很足，至少在500cc以上，可能有750cc也說不定，酸酸甜甜的梅子味還不錯，挺好喝的。
Each person can have a soft drink for the afternoon tea. This is the smoothie with plum taste. Sour, sweet and cool, it tastes good.

兩盤小點就有點中西合併了，有鹹點三明治，蔥油餅，還有甜點鬆餅，蔓越莓，起士蛋糕，倒是餅乾類很少，頂多就是那個類似核桃蛋塔，有點酥脆的口感，整體來說很不錯吃，尤其兩個蛋糕都只是微甜而已，不會容易吃膩，個人有點不喜的是起士蛋糕的奶油太多了。
The desserts and cakes. The desserts are not so sweet, that's the flavor I prefer. Only one thing I might have a little complain. It's the cheese cake, there is too much cream.

晚餐部分則是帶著輕鬆的心情，六點準時到B1等著廚師上菜。
由於我們抵達時只剩下五點半與六點兩個用餐時段，不確定是否還有更晚的用餐時間，雖然理論上應該要有，畢竟有不少人可能更習慣七點，甚至快八點才用餐。
There is no menu for the dinner. You just eat what the chef prepared.

今晚除了主菜是魚和蝦二選一之外，其餘料理都是一人一份的。
第一道是櫻桃沙拉，印象中是非常清淡，微甜的沙拉醬，非常棒地把主角讓給了兩片櫻桃鴨胸肉，嫰但仍然帶著有嚼勁的Q度，非常好吃。
The salad with cherry valley duck. The duck breast is chewy and tasty. It's appetizing for the following food.

生魚片與握壽司，這道料理很明顯是吃粗飽的料理，魚肉給得很大方，大片而且又厚，滿嘴都是魚片的鮮味，只是或許退冰得不夠，甜味比較出不來，至於另兩片握壽司，我相信廚師應該沒有接受過相關的訓練，色香味，三者皆普普。
The sushi and sashimi. This is the one which I think it's not good. It's easy to say that the chef doesn't know how to cut the sashimi and make the sushi. It's just OK.

炒飯配一盤百香果蓮藕，微辣的炒飯，炒得粒粒分明，偏重的口味，搭上甜甜酸酸的百香果蓮藕，很特別，也挺好吃的。
The fried rice with sweet lotus root (passion fruit taste) as the side dish. It's yummy. The rice is dry and a little bit hard which I like, although it's also spicy which I didn't expected. It's zesty.

主菜各點了一魚一蝦，魚是炸馬頭魚，魚肉十分鮮美， 嫰Q，好吃。
The fried tilefish (also called horsehead). The fish is fresh, soft and sweet. So yummy.

蝦則是天使紅蝦，算是不錯。
The shrimp.

接著是一盅雞湯，且雞肉還不少，又大塊。
The soup with chicken.

接著還有一根豬肋排，烤得非常軟嫰，很輕鬆地就可以把豬肉剝下，享受肋排肉的甜美。
The rib. It's soft and just a little sweet, tasty.

最後附上一盤炒水蓮，輕脆的口感，正好中和一下前面的吃下肚的各式肉味，呵～
Fried white water snowflake, it's crispy.

很甜的各色水果。
整體來說，晚餐的份量還真不少，好吃又能滿足地吃到各種肉，有家禽的鴨胸，雞塊，海鮮的馬頭魚或天使紅蝦及生魚片，還有四隻腳的豬肋排，蛋白質補充得超級多；只是，不知道是不是泡溫泉真的消耗許多熱量，還是六點實在是太早吃飯了，近半夜時還是出門買宵夜了，哈～
The fruit, it's sweet. A really good ending for the dinner.

隔天早上，則是在一樓享用buffet式的早餐，一下樓就小小地驚訝了下，居然這麼豐盛，民宿很少看到有這麼多樣的早餐，以中式來說，有地瓜粥，還有十樣搭配粥的小菜。
The breakfast is all you can eat and it serves a lot of foods. The first area is congee with sweet potatoes and the side dishes for congee that Taiwanese may have.

偏西式一點則是青菜沙拉吧，我完全不考慮作為早餐的區塊，只知道樣式不少，哈～
The second area is the vegetables and salad that someone may eat really light for the breakfast.

在角落，則放了三樣比較油一點的台式早餐，蔥油餅，蘿蔔糕和雞蛋豆腐。
The third section is kind of local foods include scallion pie (also called scallion cake), radish cake and egg tofu (or I found someone called it Wrinkly Old Man Tofu).

另外還有算是正餐區的料理，鴨賞，炒青菜，火腿片，炸雞塊等等；另外則是我沒有拍到照片的飲料區和西式麵包區，飲料有熱豆漿，熱牛奶，冰的養樂多，西瓜汁，甚至還有優格，真的是非常豐富，每一區塊都有許多選擇。
And others may have fried vegetables, meats and so on.

由於東西樣式多，又煮得好吃，很難得的，我吃了非常多的早餐，上面的份量，我吃了兩盤，第三盤則是配粥的小菜加一碗地瓜粥，為了健康，我又拿了一盤水果，真的是超爽啊～
The food is really good, I have two plates as above and one plate with the side dishes for congee, and one more plate with the vegetables. For me, I usually just eat a little for the breakfast. Today, it's more like my lunch, ha~

[Taiwan] 宜蘭，礁溪，冒煙的石頭，一泊三食之一泊 (Smoking Rock Resort)

冒煙的石頭，是間網路上頗有名氣的，位於礁溪的溫泉旅館，由於忘了拍外觀照，我從官網上下載了上面的照片，就像一顆大石頭矗立在礁溪有名的湯圍溝溫泉公園旁，如果是搭首都客運的車子前往礁溪，記得在下高速公路後，第三站的湯圍溝溫泉公園站下車，三分鐘內就可走到。

I totally forgot to take photos from outside of this hotel, the Smoking Rock Resort. So I took above photo from its website, http://www.smoking-rock.com/about.php. The resort is just next to the WuanChuanGo Park. If you take the bus to Jiaoxi, you can get off at the bus stop and you can arrive the resort in 2 minutes.

下車Check-in之後，入住有十五坪大小的F01雙人套房。
This is the room we stayed, F01. If you reserve it and pay the down payment two weeks before, you can have three meals in the resort just like us.

臥室與湯屋分成獨立的兩個房間，進門後右轉是臥室，空間很大，很舒服。
When you open the door and go right, it's the bed room.

房間附有浴袍，拖鞋，拖鞋很好穿，且可直接穿至室外，並不是一般飯店的廉價紙拖鞋，由於太舒服，後來直接帶回家當作平常穿的拖鞋(服務人員有說，拖鞋是可以帶走的)。
The dressing table and the bathrobe. The flips are under the bathrobe. It's really convenient you can wear it to go the 1F or B1 to have the dinner or breakfast. You can even go outside to buy some supper.

稍微有點軟的King size雙人床，晚上在泡過湯後，躺在這樣微軟的床上，還挺容易入睡的，睡了個挺舒服的覺。
The king size bed. It's a little bit soft, if you prefer harder, then it may not be proper for you. I have a good sleep on it.

或許因為大家都泡湯，再加上宜蘭多雨，故附了一台除溼機，另外則是可躺在床上看的電視，冰箱，礦泉水，迎賓水果等等，滿豐富的，且冰箱裡還有兩瓶免費的汽水，可讓人在泡完湯後，補充水份。
The TV, dehumidifier and refrigerator. Because you may have the hot spring in the other room, it has dehumidifier to lower the humidity. There are two cans of soft drink and they are fee. It's for you to drink after you go to a hot spring bath.

這兒是連結臥室與湯屋的廊道，也是房間門打開後，面對的地方，一進房間，就又直接可看到戶外，還挺奇妙的設計，感覺很不錯，覺得室內好開闊。
The corridor connects two rooms.

另一側自然就是湯屋，淋浴間與大大的大理石浴缸，感覺一家四口在裡面泡湯都沒問題，且淋浴間旁還有壁掛式的液晶電視，可以一邊泡湯，一邊舒服地看著電視，真是享受。
When you go left is the bath room. Above is the shower room and the bathtub. There is also a TV on the wall. So you can stay in the bathtub and watch TV.

如果太熱，還可以在旁邊的躺椅稍作休息。
The chair you can take a rest if the hot spring is too hot for you.

房間的另一側便是洗手檯與廁所，做到了乾溼分離，且都有加裝免治馬桶，在冬天，這更是舒服。
至於提供的沐浴乳，洗髮精，都是歐舒丹的，並不是不知名的小廠，洗起來也很令人放心。
The sink and the washlet. Next to the sink are the bathroom accessories and are all from L'Occitane.

晚上泡完溫泉，會肚子餓，應該是正常的，店家連這個都考慮到了，穿上拖鞋，一出門，就是很小型的湯圍溝夜市，有約七八家攤販，就在門口賣蔥油餅，烤肉串，烤魷魚等等，很適合的宵夜，出來買個兩三百塊，吃完再好好地睡一覺吧！
And the location of Smoking Rock Resort is really good, just next to the Tangweigou Park. There is a small night market here. If you want some supper in the night, it's really convenient.

[Japan] 奈良，元喜神雞白湯 (Aoniyoshi)

這家餐廳是行前做功課時找到的，畢竟我要在奈良待一個晚上，除了志津香，應該要再找一家餐廳，發現這兒有道很不一樣的料理，只有在奈良才吃得到的「雞白湯」，這間元喜神雞白湯位在奈良商店街較遠離近鐵奈良站的一側，門口有個中國餐廳(飛天)的大大的招牌，進到室內後的左側，就是元喜神雞白湯了！
The Aoniyoshi is a little bit hard to find. You may need to find the China Dining first, the sign is more big. Then walk in but go to the left hand side, and you'll see it. This is a ramen restaurant which I found via a blogger.

由於太特別，桌上還有說明書說明該如何享用，先享用拉麵(或是沾麵)，再把剩餘湯汁，白飯及生雞蛋倒入碗中，加熱幾分鐘後，就是一碗熱騰騰的粥品作為結尾。
The most famous food here is Toripaitan Tukemen. I heard this dish you can only eat in Nara, so it tells you how to eat it. First, eat the noodles. And then heat the rice and egg with the soup, it will bring more flavors.

拉麵部分有雞白湯和醬油口味兩種，既然店名都叫做雞白湯，我自然不會去選醬油口味，選了雞白湯味玉拉麵，多了我愛的溫泉蛋。

There are many different types of noodles you can eat with Toripaitan Tukemen, I ordered ramen.

依慣例，單點了「唐揚炸雞」作為配菜，外皮酥脆，內裡湯汁滿溢，好吃極了。
As usual, I ordered fried chicken for the side dish. It's really juicy and chewy, so yummy.

雞白湯味玉拉麵，湯頭很清，可能因為是雞骨去熬煮的，「雞」味挺濃郁，算是另一種拉麵的口味，麵條也算是有嚼勁，再加上好吃的溫泉蛋，這是一碗好吃的拉麵；吃完後，把湯汁全部倒入碗裡，加入白飯，把生雞蛋打散，淋入湯汁，再加熱幾分鐘，就是一碗好吃的雜炊，超香超讚的，不一樣的美食，一樣的高級享受呀！
The Toripaitan Tukemen. The first thing is eating the ramen. The soup is clear, I guess that's because it's made by chicken. Compares to port or beef, it should be clear. The noodles are chewy which I like. After finish them, put the rest of everything into the bowl and add rice & egg, then heat it. The congee is so delicious. It recall the good taste of the ramen but brings more. So good~
