石川制研（無訂位，5人以上用餐請先詢問有無座位） — Restaurant in New Taipei

This is THE place to eat, if you can get in! Slightly off the beaten track, this restaurant serves up the most innovative and well cooked food you can find in all of jiufen, and possibly all of the entire district! Upon entering, you are greeted by the magnificent Lele, a friendly happy dog that just wants a bit of a cuddle. The lovely lady who also greeted us took the time to explain that there would be a wait and asked if we were okay.

Stumbled upon this place on Google while searching for dinner, apparently you have to book for a reservation before coming but we just tried a hit or miss, thankfully ladyboss has empty seats!

Very fragrant, chicken was soft and tender! Yummy! Wine clams were also good! They topped it with Vietnamese basil, good combo!...
