茶薰館 Kaoru Smell Rst 每週三公休Wed off營業時間內最晚20:00前入座下單 — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

I stumbled into this eatery quite by chance. Looking at the menu / photos outside the shop, I noticed it was serving several familiar Cantonese dishes. I ordered a mutton dish (三丝炒酱羊肉) and a dish of water spinach (空心菜) while my friend ordered the "stinky tofu" soup. The food was simply delicious and the portions were generous. Ordinarily, I don't really like the smell of stinky tofu but I did try the soup and it was very tasty. It is an unpretentious eatery with a surprisingly good selection of dishes at very affordable prices. I saw several customers ordering their "bento" meal. A "bento" meal starts at only around NT$120 (less than US$4) and suitable for an individual diner. The meal for the two of us was less than NT$500. The shop is a short 10 min walk from Taipei Main Station Exit M7. We live around Nanjing E Road / Tianjin Road and so it wasn't too far for us to walk either. If you have a craving for some Hong Kong comfort food in Taipei, then I would certainly recommend that you try this...

Very unexpected flavors, but not in a bad way; keep an open mind! Nothing is the traditional flavors I had imagined at first glance, but it’s more of a creative fusion vs simply weakening original flavors to fit the average Taiwanese palate. Possibly most intriguing was their dumplings, whose slightly thicker skin and thinner sauce are reminiscent vaguely of bawan, but clearly not. Would love to try preordering their turnip...

interesting & delicious food, very heartily prepared. owner is so kind and friendly, he shared with us how to get around TaiWan🥰 the chicken is so soft and the chilli sauce is very tasty. drinks (ice lemon tea and milk tea) are homemade, not sweet, very refreshing! price is affordable too. i will be visiting this store again in a few days. highly...
