food notes

Last week, because my friends wanted to go out for dinner, I went to Hi Lai Harbor for dinner on Thursday night. Of course, I had a vegetarian set meal~
(It’s nice that the desserts are marked with information on whether they contain gelatine, an ingredient that is easily eaten by religious vegetarians.)

Then on Sunday, I went to eat with my friend’s family at the Living Buddha in Tainan~

I just want to briefly record my experience of eating at the restaurants on both sides.
(Okay... It's just a mistake because I'm too lazy to use my brain today...)

Let’s start with Hi-Lai Seaport in Taichung.
Basically, dinner on weekdays costs 950 per person and the service fee is 10%. Well... I usually buy a meal coupon first, which saves at least 10% of the service fee. In terms of service... if necessary, I just sit down and Will you charge a fee?
But that's okay. This is my own motorcycle. I don't blame the restaurant. The only thing I want to complain about is... the lady collecting the plates... Can you please collect the plates on the inner side of the table for six people? I understand that it's hard to come and collect a table for six people..., I can really understand..., but what happened when everyone got up to get their food, walked around and came back, and still only the plates by the aisle were collected?
And the wonderful thing is... sometimes they take them all away, and sometimes they don't? I don't understand......
But this is definitely my motorcycle, not the service provider's problem.

The gratin appetizer is delicious~the avocado hand rolls are very healthy!
For the deer, anything without taste must mean it is healthy!

Gratin is delicious, but I personally just love gratin, and as soon as it’s served I think it’s delicious!

The cactus iced tea was so delicious that almost the whole table drank it.

The rice should be stirred before eating, otherwise the taste of the first half will be too bland. The pomelo-flavored radish in the side dishes is so delicious that I want to add some~

The quicksand buns taste better when they are hot, and eating them cold has little effect. The green ones are fried taro balls. The surface is full of tea flavor, and the taro inside is my favorite. It is something you can show off to your colleagues who like taro while eating it. ~

The carrot cake was not bad, a very standard carrot cake with good dipping sauce.
Green vegetables are just... very standard green vegetables...

Let me talk about a very strange point. At the beginning, only hand rolls and gratins are served. After 5 minutes, the other dishes of the set menu are served, right? If you are in a hurry to deal with me, then you don't have to worry about my wishes? Although it's not a big deal..., some of them were already cold when we ate them... which is a bit of a pity...
But this is my motorcycle too, so it’s very convenient for the restaurant to help prepare vegetarian set meals~

The fungus and the side dish are both refreshing and perfect with rice.
The soup is rich and delicious~

Basically, people are full after finishing the set meal.... All-you-can-eat is definitely not a good deal.... Our stomach capacity is limited~

I like all-you-can-eat mainly because of the feeling of having so many choices. Speaking of which, I probably won’t go to Hi-Lai Harbor again... at least for 3 or 4 years. Mainly... I liked it the way it used to be. There was a layer of toasted caramel pudding on top... and now it's gone...

Going to the Living Buddha in Tainan on Sunday~
Basically, the venue outside the restaurant is very comfortable. The rows of stone sculptures create an atmosphere. The lotus flowers and turtles in the pool outside the restaurant are interesting. My friends and children like the turtle pool very much. After dinner, I wanted to see the turtle~

Holiday lunch costs 550 for adults plus 10% service charge.

Basically... vegetables are so delicious~
But in terms of ice products, it's a pity that they only have ordinary popsicles (but there are many choices) and Xiaomei ice cream. However, it has traditional grass jelly, aiyu, pear ice tea, etc., which are very special.

Vegetarian food is clearly labeled, including the presence of eggs, milk, etc.
The drinks offer a lot of fresh juices and fruit vinegars, and the Hong Kong restaurants are also pretty good. There are also interesting parts such as cooking noodles and vegetables by yourself.

The freshly cooked noodles seemed to be delicious. My friend's child ate two bowls, and other friends who had fried rice and fried rice noodles also said they were delicious.
I mainly pick up things I like from behind, like water chestnuts~
Come and eat all you can eat water chestnuts... As expected of me... Their water chestnuts are very delicious, but unfortunately they stopped filling them later...

It feels like... I should still go to Living Buddha. If you like more traditional dishes, Living Buddha would be a good choice~

After eating..., it’s another week where I need to increase my physical activity (tea)
