京兆尹 aka King Join

King Join-京兆尹
台北市大安區四維路18號(近仁愛路圓環)TEL:02-27013225


This is a chinese restaurant serving emperor's food. It's really an honour to be able to dine in this restaurant. Luckily we found it..so happy!
It was raining very heavily and we had to take a taxi from Sun Yat Sen Memorial Station to King Join Restaurant. It was quite near though.
We were early so not many people, in fact, there was only 1 table occupied. We got a window seat and immediately ordered tea as i was freezing! Yummy! even the tea tasted good. The tea leaves were fragrant and the pot was placed atop of a teapot warmer with a tea light candle to keep the tea warm. The names of the dishes here are very unique especially the dim sums..we had 果仁奶酪, 驢打滾, 豌豆黃, 愛窩窩..well..pictures are below!hehe..


We shared a set menu inclusive of a 紫米饭 with pine nuts，金瓜汤，mini plate of chicken and another plate of mixed vegetables,3 dim sums and 果仁奶酪(chinese yogurt). After we had finished, we ordered another 3 kinds of dim sum and 八宝紫米甜品。We did not made a wrong choice as all the foods were very tasty. The dim sums are sweets but not too sweet especially the glutinous rice one was marvellous! I guess they were all good for our health as their food are all suited for the emperors and empresses!
It was indeed an honour to be able to dine in this special restaurant. Hope to come back again to try more of their dishes!

People's Park Complex hidden treasures

I know it can be frustrating if you can't make up your mind between the three roasted meat stalls and four other dim sum stalls. They all look the same but you know surely one of those stalls is the famous one which your grandparents and parents grew up eating.  Today, I'd introduce to you one of the best dimsum and roast meats non-restaurant style, together with some new findings in the current People's Park Complex.  It has been a long while since I last wowed at the dimsum before me. The stall only displays a pathetic number of dishes in the glass cabinet as compared to Ho Kee which display a wide myriad of choices. Yet... 道记(Chop Hean Kuan) 's dimsums sells like hot cakes. The price range is not large, cheapest at 90c for items like the ugly looking yet tempting siew mai, egg tarts and 韭菜角, the most expensive item is 2 bucks for the 糯米鸡. The mini char siew bao was heaven. I seldom fancy this because it feels  often feels like eating marinated card board.

Jimoto-Ya (Singapore)

Image
Sometimes, i wished there isn't so many new restaurants sprouting around our tiny island everyday (pocket is bleeding), but at times, i am exhilarated especially when something like Jimoto-Ya is in town! Thanks to one of Jimoto-Ya's sake supplier who strongly recommended the place, that i had to try it right away. And in a week, there goes 2 meals at Jimoto-Ya. I was there on a weekday afternoon and a weekend night respectively. Both experience were unique on its own yet similar in the right points.  From top: Ebi Shoyu Ramen Set (19 SGD), Curry Rice Set (19 SGD), Ebi Shio Ramen Set (19 SGD) Lunch and dinner menu are the same at the moment with ramen and rice sets taking the limelight. For lunch, i shared the above 3 sets with my 2 girlfriends who were as delighted as me to eat them the second the food was served. The smell of amaebi boiled for hours alleviating from the soup made it even more irresistible. The choices were decided with the help of the boss, Se

Tendon Kohaku's 2nd outlet!

Image
Ever since I chanced upon Tendon Hokaku (even though I've read so much about it before that plus all the instagram spams on my wall) at its 1st outlet at Suntec, been missing it. Just that the queue can be quite a pain especially during the peak hours. So there's also peak periods for dining nowadays!  It's opening at Circular Road last week has caused such a hype especially amongst the working crowd in the area. CBD IS HAPPENING TOO!    Quickly, the queue has formed with longer queue times as the days go by. I went on a Wednesday at 1pm and the waiting time was 15 mins, better than I expected. Then on Thursday, it became 40 mins. I'm not sure how long it'll be in the days to come. But if you all agree with me, the perpetual queue is a good sign too!    The cosy outlet has about 6-7 tables and some counter seats so I reckon it can hold up to 20 pax at each time. Menu is a standard 4 types: Seafood, chicken and mixed vegetables tendon (spicy or non-spicy) at $15 whil
