A well-positioned new restaurant chain doing land-office business. Eight Japanese combo meals such as tempura, teriyaki, or grilled fish, all priced at 200 NTD with unlimited white rice and miso soup. Perfect for a quick meal after work. More expensive than a roadside bento, but you do have a professionally-decorated space to enjoy your meal, which makes it a better option when out with the SO.
She had the grilled salmon fillet, I had the teriyaki beef donburi. Also comes with a small plate of well-dressed veggies, a chawanmushi egg custard, and a milk-pudding dessert.
Usually gyu-don is made with thinly sliced beef but here they use smaller, thicker sirloin chunks which were satisfyingly meaty but a bit tough and didn't seem salty enough. The chawanmushi is a nice value-add but it came in a plastic pudding cup which cheapened the feel a bit. Plus it was made obvious that it was a bulk-produced item reheated in the microwave. Well, what did you expect for 200NTD?
