Rose Tea Cafe — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

The lady who took my order was sooo nice... they don't allow eating in diner except if you an out of towner Louisiana-ian that has no clue that restaurants don't allow eating inside. Met a young man going to school studying architecture while I was eating and we talked about the design of life... Idbe lying if I said it was anything but a blessing to eat here . . I told her I was from LA and enjoyed spicy and she recommended the chicken over the beef and guess what.... Could not have been more please with the meal and the crispy spring rolls I also ordered... I rN out of room ate 1 spring roll lime two bites of the rice and all the peppers and chicken... this was the best spicy chicken I have eaten in a long time... if you pass this place and don't grab soemthing ... ur loss... as soon as G and Wyatt either or both are within 3/4 hours of this place... we will be here ... thank...

Though, it was fairly tasty: the veggies were not cooked enough for me, they were basically raw and since I have no teeth: definitely was not satisfied with that outcome: would have rather had them steamed a lot first till much softer, then added to the dish! Did not care for the rice cakes, though thought I would give it a try: next time regular white rice on the side would be better for me! I went home and tried to cook the veggies more, though, I was ae to cook the broccoli more and eat it, the rest not so much: though, I did manage to it it: it took a long time and I was able to make two meals out of it! Most eaten last night for dinner, the rest for lunch today! I added my own sauce and flour to make more of a pasty sauce out of last night's dinner though! Today ate as is after heating it! Still added in a bit of my own gravy...

Recently moved to Pitt for school and kept walking by this cafe, looked interesting and had a lot of my favorite Taiwanese dishes, so I thought I'd give it a try. I got the fried pork chop over rice, eggplant w/ basil, and sauteed green beans. Wow... the comfort that Taiwanese food brings me? This hit the spot! And I found a surprise when I started eating my pork chop rice, it came w/ a small serving of braise pork underneath and a tea egg, which basically was the bowtie on top of a fantastic meal! Portions are fairly big too, I have enough leftovers for a meal or two~ Will definitely be going back to try...
