WOW Bistro — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

I ordered the mixed seafood pasta with pumpkin soup and lemon coffee. There's room for improvement here, but the experience and food was very good.

I was seated quickly, the waitress did her best to walk me through my options. The atmosphere is classy and the music was modern and decent. The kitchen looks clean.

I highly recommend the soup upgrade, it was creamy, sweet, savory and lightly salty... really you can't get much better pumpkin soup than that.

The pasta was dried spaghetti. I'm a little disappointed that and upscale Italian place like this doesn't make their own. The scallops and salmon were both overcooked, but surprising the shrimp was about right. The sauce was delicious, partially because the smoked salmon flavor seeps into the sauce, but it really saved the dish.

The coffee was also very good. It came out looking like a sunrise, presentation was fantastic.

Overall the service was great and the experience was very good. I'll be back, but probably skip the...

The food was overall pretty uninspiring - we ordered 2 risottos, 1 pasta, porkchops and duck breasts:

Seafood risotto tasted more like a rice soaked in broth/soup, did not have a creamy consistency Truffle/mushroom risotto was better Salted pork pasta had a pretty good consistency Pork chop portion felt pretty plentiful, but the meat was a bit overcooked Duck was really overcooked with a chewy/rubbery skin, the most disappointing one of them all.

We also had a trio of desserts, and the chocolate mousse cake was quite alright.

For the price and average review, I expected a bit more? Especially for that night, the entire kitchen had two staff so the service was...

🚩大台北 WOW Bistro 旺．慢食餐酒館 ⭐️My google reviews: 3.3 stars . 這間是Google評分特別高的餐酒館， 今天除了來蹭飯吃， 順便也來看看這間是不是真的那～麼厲害 . 點了個雙人豪華組合餐，1480元， 其中包含了2杯紅/白酒餐酒， 光是有餐酒這個價錢就夠佛心， 開胃菜選了人氣餐點， 🔴檸檬虱目魚酥捲， 第4張圖，單點130元， 用餛飩皮將醃漬虱目魚菲力包起來下去炸， 九層塔調味， 「魚菲力」指的是虱目魚的「魚嶺」，也就是背鰭的部位， 肉質軟嫩好比菲力牛排， 阿這道吃起來就還可以 . 🔴香煎西班牙伊比利豬， 第2張圖，單點680元， Bellota等級的梅花豬部位， 搭配的西班牙紅酒鹽之花， 阿這幾年很夯的鹽之花是啥咧， 就跟著工程師Ted一起來邊吃邊學， 鹽之花俗稱食鹽界的「凱迪拉克」， 製造方式是採自鹽田最表層的中空四角柱結晶， 遠遠看起來就像雪花一般， 由於沒有經過純化及精製， 鹽之花的鈉含量遠低於一般食鹽，並且礦物質豐富， 使得其風味澄淨細緻、更有層次， 此外，鹽之花的含水量也比一般精鹽高出不少， 這使得它在口中溶解速度較慢，味道能更持久， 小小一撮即有顯著的提味效果， 這也是為什麼一般不會將其當作烹調用鹽， 以避免因為融化而失去原有的滋味， 不同產地的鹽之花，因氣候及地理條件上的差異， 在成份及口味上各具特色， 並且由於人工製作費時耗力且產量稀少，而使得價格昂貴， 簡單來講， 就是鹽巴界中的高檔貨拉 . 阿這道伊比利豬沒啥毛病， 不過就是煎的太油拉， 盤子內積油 . 主廚推薦 🔴蒜炒蘆筍綜合海鮮義大利麵👎， 第3張圖，單點330元， 哎呀，沒有味道阿， 也幾乎沒有蒜香， 不好吃 . 🔴西西里義式捲餅Cannoli， 第5張圖，單點80元， Cannoli是義大利的經典甜點，發原自西西里地區， 外筒由油酥麵皮油炸製成， 捲入以Ricotta起司為基底具有奶油質感的甜餡料， 我選了原味， 酥脆的餅皮吃起來口味有點像牛舌餅，厚的那種， 冰冰涼涼的幕斯口感內餡， 加上一些開心果仁， 很少吃到開心果做的甜點， 這個搭配不錯不錯， 最後， 🔴初戀檸檬派， 第6張圖，單點80元， 一般 . 📌總結， 這家目前就蘆洲跟中山2間店， 今天💰2個人吃了1628元， 餐點的部分其實不乏新意， 害我去網路上查了不少資料， 而且價格算是平易近人， CP值不錯，難怪評分不低， 但就是整體味道並沒有深得我心， 然後餐廳裡有小果蠅飛來飛去， 廚餘沒有密封不行阿 . 更多精準中立的美食評論在 IG:...
