小川家 — Restaurant in Taichung

This thoughtfully presented set meal is a delightful harmony of flavors and aesthetics. The highlight is the deep-fried cheese-stuffed meatball—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. With one bite, the melted cheese blends beautifully with the savory meat, delivering a rich and satisfying flavor. The gooey cheese pull adds a fun, comforting touch.

Accompanied by tender, well-seasoned carrots and broccoli, the dish feels balanced and vibrant. The miso soup is warm and mellow, rounding out the savory components nicely.

Served on a wooden tray with elegant, minimalist tableware, the entire experience feels thoughtfully curated. It’s not just a meal—it’s a feast for both the senses...
