籠裏 Bar Lonely — Restaurant in Tainan

After the longest lockdown in taiwan, finally the govt eased on eating inside the restaurant and bars, it was a friendly get together, friends from taipei had joined for a mini vacation.This place was always in my GO-WISH-LIST, finally achieved my goal because of my friends.... We expected crowd, but wasn't many because still people are worried about pandemic, ambience was so good, very unique lighting with some decent painting hanging around, a place to visit for private talks and of course a cozy place to hang out... coming to the menu, it was like a bar made just for the covid season, the items in the menu were really funny, but seemed realistic to the present situation.

Red oolong Whiskey chicken - Favourites of the day ---- soda infused whisky (the thin coloured syrup on the plate), I could also feel the manicured twist of lemon which was inside the syrup... The chicken was well cooked and really juicy, I as an Indian would want it to be more cooked, but it was really good with the whiskey syrup, (would recommend the chef to try out with BOURBON or JACK DANIELS, it would replenish the twist in the customer's tongue heheh 😂 lol

Stay home --- Its was a cocktail kind of a drink which was just like orange juice but mixed with some citrus fruits, I could not name it, but it was pretty decent.. it had Gin Earl Grey Grapefruit Lychee- A cocktail with lychee dominating the taste of the drink. 潺 (TRICKLE)- THis is was the second cocktail, I have pretty much tasted trickle in many places, but this was like a taiwanese version of it hehe, I dont think they used COGNAC in it, I think it was just some good brandy that tasted, anyway it was decent for expensive for that small glass

ALL the dishes were pretty good and appetising especially for the chicken, if it was for non alcohol person then they would be at the best time, because we could feel the whiskey rhythm singing in our brains heheheh🤣lol Peace out guys...

First off, the reservation process via phone is professional and friendly. The setting is in the proximity of snail alley with strong presence of distinctive Tainan arts and craft spirit. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door and escorted to our seat of our choice. The interior is clean, classy and elegant. Lighting is intimate and furniture setting are stylish and cozy. Staff members were very knowledgeable, sincere and kind in providing memorable night out experience. Drinks were of quality and thoughtfully crafted. The menu cleverly takes form of descriptive placards and the desserts (esp. whiskey chocolate cake) were simply heavenly. Overall the experience was very positive - unpretentious, intimate...

特調 錦鯉 $350

印象中 口感清爽 酒感不重 含啤酒 所以適合只喝過啤酒的人 能找到一種熟悉的感覺

籠裏復刻 洋子的下午茶 $400

看起來就是個甜點 但略過上方的抹茶泡沫 下方就是 柑橘類的調酒 然後就是有一種在哪喝過的感覺

籠裏復刻 春香 $400

一碰到玻璃杯的瞬間 茉莉花的香味撲鼻而來 一入口的感受是偏短暫的 清爽（檸檬類）→有酒感 →果香類營造的包裹感 最後的尾韻在一點點杜松子 和茶酒的感受中結束 整體的前中後 其實開始和結束的有點突然 期待可以在感覺到更多層次 但算是少數喝起來清爽 卻意外有酒感 又容易上酒意的調酒

特調 藝妓 $350

香氣豐富 風味變化多端 酸甜感為主 酒感算輕 意外的沒感受到薑味 氣泡感細膩 不適合新手小白的第一杯 因為很可能會迷失方向 適合喜歡層次感的人

特調 牡丹 $400

由於瓶口類似聞香杯的設計 故更加聚攏了茉莉花香的味道 而廣藿香使它轉化成 另一種難以描述的香氣 一入口的柚子胡椒味 隨著喝的時間越久越加明顯且微辣 和白葡萄酒的酸感意外的搭 皮斯可&琴酒和包種茶呈現出來的茶酒 算是蠻清爽的 總結就是一杯 花香調偏重 些許草本味 但柚子胡椒 讓其又像鹹食的調酒

特調 武士 $400

看似像咖啡甜點系調酒 殊不知 深焙的鐵觀音 搭上輕泥煤的蘇格蘭威士忌 直接是一個複雜到難以理解的領域 中段有感受到巴薩米克醋 但層次深遠到我選擇放棄理解 聽說尾段有巧克力味 總結 不是每個人類都能接受的 大人系調酒

特調 般ㄅㄢ若ㄖㄨㄛˋ $400

上桌後店員會幫忙 用火燒一下冰塊上的八角 因此一靠近杯口 濃郁的八角味 沁入鼻腔 而這也更揉合 入口感受到的 草本木質調 琴酒是主角 不喜歡勿試 而中後段的檜木與馬告 會讓人有 置身於森林的感覺 很清新很純粹 卻也感到整座山林的 鬱鬱蔥蔥 整體 很適合 當最後一杯 有酒感 多層次 回歸本質的快樂

籠裏復刻 桑格莉亞 $400

印象中就是 果香調 清爽好喝 酒感輕 不會有人討厭的調酒

籠裏復刻 寅次郎之夢 $400

印象只剩杏仁味很重 酒感應該不重 經過查詢 歐肯12年 蘇格蘭威士忌 就是 烤杏仁、焦糖太妃糖 所散發出一種特有的柔和 與細緻的歐肯特軒口感 不喜歡杏仁茶的人類 勿試

雖然去之前看Google...
