Melange Cafe

Today i am going to introduce you a very famous restaurant in Taipei 
Melange Cafe 





























































Melange is definitely my favourite waffle place in Taipei, actually, anywhere.
but every time i went there, i waited for approximately  an hour !!!! 
Every time  the line there  is so crazy!!!
The first time i went there, i really don't know why 
there are so many people wait for so long to eat here .. 


the cafe don't take reservations and if you miss your number , 
YOU HAVE TO LINE UP ALL OVER AGAIN !!
so this means you have to be there physically when the waiters calls 
out you number.

once i ordered and got the things on my table, i  realize that why 
people would be willing to line up for such  a long time for this place !
the waffle and beverages here are so great!!!

he queues are now very reasonable.

Din Tai Fung cuisine






















Hello everyone today i am going to introduce you
a veryyyy famous Taiwanese restaurant  Din Tai Fung which is 
one of the ten gourmet restaurant of the world.  
Whenever the name DinTaiFung is mentioned, the first thing that
people think of is small, delicate steamed dumplings
I believe that everyone have heard about it. In addition, Dintaifung
serves some of the best cuisine in the world.

Few days ago, Taichung doesn't have the restaurant, but 
Din Tai Fung now is open in Taichung( Far Eastern Department Stores)
How luck we are :)))





























They don't accept reservation so if you want to go to Din Tai Fung,
you have to go earlier than you don't have to wait for a long time.  

The Din Tai Fung is a famous Taiwanese restaurant,
 famous for its small steamed buns(xiao log bao).


They are many options for you, you can have dumplings,
noodle, appetizer, rice, soup,
bun, vegetable and dessert here.

















DUMPLINGS 
























BUN




















APPETIZER




















VEGETABLE 


















APPETIZER

































small steamed buns(xiao log bao)
The signature cuisine.
This is very tasty, delicious and juicy.!!!
I believe that you are gonna love this.  
Each bite is like a visit to the heaven.















Steamed Fish Dumplings



















Braised Beef Noodles 
my favorite dish !!!





















Hot-and-sour soup
 very big portion !!!!

















 Traditional Chicken Soup
The Traditional Chicken Soup uses crispy chicken
They add a little rice wine then each bowl is steamed for 2 hours.
A thin film of golden oil floats on the chicken soup that tastes sweet and refreshing.
 The stewing process also leaves the crispy
chicken very tender and many customers come just to order this hot chicken soup.



One more special thing I want to say, it gave
 me another surprise on their service.
They have special racks for you to put on your hand bag,
that you need not to occupy one more seat.  They even would use a
cloth to cover your handbag so as not to be dirtied by the dishes. 
That's so sweet :)) 




 if you want to know more about Din Tai Fung, please go here


Have a nice day guys :))))))))
