小方舟串燒酒場 — Restaurant in Tainan

“Overrated” “Big hat, no cattle” “Empty suit” “Pretty body, but no heart or soul” These are some of the expressions that come to my mind when I think back of this place. Unfortunately, this is another case of a fancy building decor that makes one believe the food might be good, but this one is just not the case. I love how a Japanese restaurant can open in Taiwan and people think that decor and employees yelling “Irashaimase!” makes for a quality establishment. First thing - never never run out of Japanese Karaage. It is the most basic item at any Izakaya. Second - when a customer is looking at a menu, ask if he is done before just taking the menu away. Third - The food’s taste is so-so and not presented very well. If you want true Izakaya style food, there is a little Izakaya in Anping (I love that it’s not overrun with people so I won’t say the restaurant’s name; just that it is in Anping :) ) that is run by a Japanese lady and a Taiwanese guy. The place is unpretentious unlike this one but the food is excellent and the two proprietors are kind...

This BBQ spot is a standout in Taiwan’s culinary scene! They offer a unique blend of traditional Taiwanese BBQ flavors with a creative twist, and there are elements of Japanese dining style that elevate the experience. The food is thoughtfully prepared, flavorful, and the ambiance adds to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore a fresh take...

—2訪— 2023的最後一天和最好的朋友來聚餐～補照片 —— 這裡的烤串絕大部分都是雞肉跟豬肉，牛肉只有2個品項，有點可惜，一直吃雞肉會膩。

店員解說的語速快到像「投資一定有風險，基金投資有賺有賠，申購前應詳閱公開說明書。」大概是人潮太多了非常忙碌，但解說內容還算詳盡。

1.味噌蛤蜊豆腐湯，大約2人份，太甜….味道超重有一個很濃的甜味，不合胃口，裡面也有一些沒泡發的海帶芽。 2.雞心串（菜單左上角烤串類都是一份2串）醬也是偏甜。 3.黑板菜單—燉牛筋，超級好吃，中間一大塊豆腐吸飽醬汁很下飯。牛筋量給非常多～而且燉得極度軟爛，最喜歡這道✨ 4.牛舌打卡$199，份量很少，旁邊一小坨蔥鹽醬調味很棒，薑的味道有點明顯，蘸點鹽也很好吃～吃起來沒什麼牛舌的感覺，反倒像是一般的牛排🤣 5.雞腿串非常好吃呢！肉好嫩還一直滴汁，皮薄烤得酥脆！烤雞翅的皮也是超薄超脆！ 6.水蓮是我很喜歡的蔬菜，但這盤炒得不是很完美。水蓮很脆，但是脆到有些部分是硬的，有些吃起來不會，感覺沒有炒均勻；調味部分我覺得完全沒鹹味，可以再鹹一點，（二訪就沒有生生跟太鹹的問題了～）生蛋黃攪拌後其實完全沒有存在感🥲 7.明太子雞腿串很讚歐～明太子醬很濃，雞肉也沒有腥味所以很喜歡。 8.酒蒸蛤蜊的蛤蜊肉超～飽滿～但是完全沒有酒香味，也沒有一般居酒屋會吃到的調味—蒜末、辣椒末；湯汁喝了一口發現就是超級普通的蛤蜊湯味道而已….有點可惜 9.櫻花蝦炒飯大概2-3人份，好ㄘ！ 10.胡麻炸豆腐，外殼蠻厚蠻硬的，很像夜市的炸牛奶QQ 11.日式炸雞令人驚艷，雖然賣相沒有很好顏色比較深，讓人以為吃起來會很乾硬，殊不知超嫩多汁外表也很脆呢 12.香蕉梅酒$150給超少，實際的量大概只有半杯玻璃杯 13.烤肥腸很香～份量也不錯 14.豬舌很特別，以為會像牛舌一樣薄薄的脆彈，結果完全不一樣，很軟嫩厚實！ 15.雞肉丸蠻普通的，調味太重了

綜上，吃太多雞了有點膩，希望能再多開發幾個品項～ 菜單有專門一區蔬食區 坐在吧台看廚師烹飪也是一種享受，琦錦的刀工很好而且把自己的...
