An Unforgetable Hitsu-mabushi !!

HIHI!!!!

    After introducing Italian cuisine and American food,several Japanese restuarants in Taichung are worth to be introduced and should not be overlooked! The acceptance of Japannese food in Taiwan is higher than others in think, especially for the "Japanese eel"! Almost everyone loves " Japanese eel" since its soft, juicy and delicious. For me, "Japanese eel" is difficult to be resisted so that my friend and I googled some delicious restuarants which have delicious "Japanese eel" cuisine and I want to share them with you! The Japaness restaurtan called "大東屋日本料理專門店". They offers sashimi, every kinds of kobobs, Japaness saki, the most important- ''Japanese eel'' as well. They are  famouse for "Japanese eel" since the eels come from Japan and they are Grilled freshly and presently, which means you can see the cooks Grilled the eels just in front of us! The building of the restaurant is made of wood so that it looks like a Japanese-style bar. The inside which is dim with wooded-table displays an atmosphere of night. So now, let me quickly show you what i had at "大東屋日本料理專門店"!



鹽酥鰻龍骨(份) NT.40


This was a savory which was hard but crispy. A very interesting food!



Boiled Vegetable燙青菜(時令菜) NT.40

 This boiled vegetable was not ordinary but special which was covered by some Katsuobushi cutt into slices. The sauce of it was not salty but a little sweet. The favor of the boiled vegetable was fresh.  I will still order it  next time!



 Hitsu-mabushi 鰻魚飯 (小) NT.140
                                    (大) NT.250


The   Hitsu-mabushi was in a lunch box!




Wow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It looks delicious, isn't it? The Hitsu-mabushi was very very juicy, soft and DELICIOUS!!! The rice was chewy. The sauce was sweet.  Now, i suggest you go there and enjoy their Hitsu-mabushi!!

Enjoy a Bloomin' Onion at "Outback"

One of my friend worked part-time in a famouse American restaurant named "Outback" which is a multiple restaurtant around the world. The emplyees in Outback have 20 % discount if they dine there. Last week, she invited me to eat at Outback so that I would have the same discount as she. When the first time I walked into Outback, the wide pavement and the atmosphere which is like a lounge bar suprised me a lot! It was hardly for me to image that Outback is just a restaurant. However, they also provide wine if you really need to drink. Actually, Outback is a steak house but it also provides other delicious cuisine such Italian pasta or other American food. Briefly, you can have many food choice at Outback so that I think one of the advantages you dine there is that it can satisfied every customers who have different appetites! Now, let me introduce you what we had ordered at Outback!




Before showing the food pictures, the cover of the menu was worth to be introduced. Obviously, the declining sun follwing with the truck fully reflects on the amorous feelings in America. The warm and interesting cover makes the customer feel comfortable.


 Before the food we ordered, they gave us the" brown sugar with honey bread" for free. The bread was delicious so that I ate totally two of it. It tasted soft and sweet. It had the smell of brown sugar which is also sweet. I think the bread itself was delicious enough so that is was unnecessary to add the butter.




Bloomin' Onion

An Outback original! A giant,
hand-carved onion cooked until golden
brown and served with our mayonnaise
horsradish sauce.$290





The "Bloomin' Onion" is a recommended specialty of Outback. The cuisin is well-known by its flower appearance and crispy taste. It tasted crispy and crumbly. It smelled oily but savoury. My friedn talked me that it is the most popular cuisine of Outback. To be honest, I also think it is a interesting and delicious cuisine so that i will order it all the time whnever I go there.




Kookaburra Wings
Chicken wings tossed in secret spices and served with
creamy Blue Cheese dressing and celery. Choose mild,
medium or hot.
$190(Half)/$350(Full)


The "Chicken Wings" were juicy and soft. It had different and special flavor while tasting it with celery and blue cheese. Although it is a common food of America cuisine, it is still a famouse dish among others.
   




Toowoomba Pasta
Grilled shrimp, mushrooms
and Parmesan with fettuccine and a rich
cream sauce.$450


There were many shrimps and mushrooms in" Toowoomba Pasta". Because of the cream sauce, it tasted vey oily and salty. It was an American Style pasta which is heany taste than Italian style pasta. Actually, I didn't like this cuisine since it was too  fat for me.





Cheesecake
New York-style with a choice of raspberry or homemade chocolate sauce. $190


Is it happy for you if you have desserts after  meal? Having desserts after meal is an full enjoment
for me. I heard that the cheesecake came from New York so that the quantitiy of it is limited. Surprinsingly, it melted immediately when I ate it. Also, it was not so sweet to me but the flavor of cheese fullfilled my mouth. I can't forget the flavor of the cheesecake.  


Eventually, I recommend everybody  to Outback since their cuisine are delicious and the environment there are also comfortable for us to have a wonderful meal. Although the price is a little expensive, it is worth for you to try once. I will provide some information of Outback below. I hope you will enjoy your meal next time, see you!

Delicious Italian Cuisine in "White Door"

Welcome to my blog!
The first delicious restaurant in Taichung that I want to share is just near our Dunghai University!!!
So now, you start to image that you are a princess living in a white palace and enjoys Italian cuisine. Although  it sounds a little strange, you will be very surprised if you go into "White door" where i was atracted by their delicious cuisine and fancy environment which decorated by white and pink! "White door" is a restaurant providing delicious Italian cuisine with beautiful decoration, then the customers feel relax and enjoy while dining there.   


The appearance of "White door" is plain only with white door and yellow wall. Since I took pictures of that at night so that it is pity we can't see how bright their appearance is!

There were many fake flowers decorated upon the shelfs near the corner.  Many girls were attracted by this kind of decoration so that  many girls came than boys.




The cover of the menu which is also pink and decorated by a bow!


Ya! it's the content of the menu. Spaghetti, penne, Fafalle, Italy pizza and some steaks are the main cuisine in "White door". They also provides some popular casserole! As you can see, the price of that is not so expensive, then the average price of one person is about NT.300.  

 The centerpiece before our dinner was very simple without too many tablewares so that we could just enjoy our delicious meal.

There were more waiters than waitress! How surprised!

Next, I am going to introduce the delicious spaghetti and homemade pizza!

It is "Spaghetti with pine nuts and clams in pesto sauce!" NT. 170
In "White door", this  is the most popular spaghetti with many many clams and many many spaghetti in adish! The sauce was not too salty but had the taste of fresh seafood. The clams were also fresh and delicious as well as plump and pretty. The Spaghetti was chewy and al dente! Yummy! This dish is worth to be introduced to you! If you like spaghetti in pesto sauce, I suggest you  go to "White door" and taste it right now!

The waiter will give you another dish for you to throw the left shells from the clams!












The spaghetti was another dish my friend ordered. It is called" Spaghetti with chicken in spicy meat sauce". NT.170  The chicken inside was also many which tasted soft and tender. The sauce smelled like a garlic mixed with meat. Although this was too heavy for me, it was also yummy and delicious!


An organge juice from the set selection!
However, i didn't drink it since it was too sweet!
The juice was as normal as that of aconviencece store.






It is "Shrimp and corn pizza with Margherita pizza".NT.230 In "White door", we can order two different kinds of pizza in a 8 size pizza. The pizza tasted crispy and chewy that was like cookies. Of couse, it was too big for me to eat  so that i suggest you can order one pizza then share it with 2-3 people.

"White door" was a very suitable restaurant for meetings or dates because of their comfortable dining environment and delicious food. They have reasonable price and good attitude in servicing to customers. The most important thing is that their location is near Dunghai University so that it only takes fewer minutes to there. Next time if you wonder about where to have dinner, the restarant-"White door" will be one of the best choice!
