[TAIPEI - TOWN by Bryan Nagao Taipei 😋]
在台北其中一間喜歡定期去的西餐廳。 雖然知道米其蓮沒到訪過所以不會列入今年的榜裡，這𥚃的菜一直都很穩定好吃，沒有多餘的花巧。憑採用本地新鮮食材的優勢，這𥚃甚至比香港的總店還要好食。當然更比很多香港及台灣的一些一星或亞洲50大西餐廳好吃多了。
餐廳剛好開業一週年，它們把過去一年出名的菜綜合放在菜單。 我們幾乎吃遍了菜單全部的菜，當中最難忘的非主菜的雞莫屬。無論是什麼部位，肉的口感都是略帶輕微嚼勁但咬下去夠嫩而且還保留雞的味道。我們直覺不會但還是跟主廚確認有沒有用真空低溫烹調法。主廚說這取巧達到肉嫩的方法會失去肉本身的特味道，所以整個菜單都沒用。這道菜雞的嫩度更是要經過長時間慢煮才能達到。 期待四月份的春季菜單。
One of my favourite western cuisine spots in Taipei which I visit regularly. Although I understand that Michelin didn’t visit this restaurant hence unlikely to obtain any rating in Michelin guide this year, the food here is consistently well executed and tasty without too much unnecessary gimmicks. With the advantage of using local fresh produce, the quality here tastes better than the main shop in HK. And it’s for sure even better than many Michelin one star and Asia Top 50 western restaurants that I’ve tried in HK and Taiwan.
As the restaurant has opened for one year, they are gathering their best dishes from past menus into one as a celebration of their anniversary. We tried almost all dishes from the menu and the best one has to be the main course chicken dish. No matter which part of the chicken it is, the meat was tender yet still gives the slight chewy texture. Given the flavour of the chicken still remains, we doubted if sous-vide method was used and clarified with the chef. The answer was negative as expected and the chef said none of their dishes use ‘this method’ as this short cut approach will lose the real flavour of the meat. He had to slow cook the chicken for hours in order to achieve such quality. Look forward to the spring menu in April.
