Banqiao District, New Taipei City｜Te Xiang Zhai Western Restaurant

Classy fine dining. Wonderful place for a special occasion. And such a reasonable price comparing the environment and the food and the service you can get here. In Taipei, this can easily cost you $500 or more.

It's a long-established steakhouse. The friendly waitress took us to a seat by the window as soon as we entered. I happen to like to dine by the window. The staff here are trained and can tell what the customers want with just one look. The interior decoration is elegant and matching. There is soft music, and an elderly man in a suit who looks like the boss will go back and forth across the bar to observe the customers dining. The soup is pumpkin soup. The soup fully presents the original flavor of pumpkin. There are many seafood condiments in the soup, but I think it is a bit light. I still like the rich feeling. This crispy seafood soup is just right. The performance is very good. There are many seafood condiments in the puff pastry soup. The soup is rich and delicious. The salad seems to be called Seafood Orange Fragrance or something like that. The seafood is handled very well and you can taste the freshness and sweetness of the ingredients. The main meal is rib-eye steak medium rare, with mushrooms, cauliflower and roasted garlic as side dishes. The surface of the steak has beautiful grill lines, and the interior is micro-cooked with sea salt and tastes great. The ceramic plate on which the steak is served is hot enough to keep it warm. What surprised me the most was the shiitake mushrooms as a side dish. I don’t like shiitake mushrooms, but the mushrooms were processed really well. They don’t have an overwhelming mushroom smell and are very delicious and juicy when you bite them. Highly recommend. . Desserts are tiramisu and baked brûlée. The tiramisu is delicious, but I prefer the one without biscuits in the middle, maybe to increase the taste. The baked brûlée has a rich flavor, and their brûlée is not Sticks to glass, not bad. The drink is pomelo and aloe tea, which is not a big deal. In addition, their ice milk tea tastes a bit astringent, which I think is okay, but others like it quite well. All in all, it's a good store. I heard it's been open for a long time, and the decoration seems to be the same. But I will put more thought into the menu ingredients, and the time-honored restaurant should continue to shine.

Good food and good service! For our mains, we ordered: • 8 oz. Filet Mignon • Roasted Pork and Seabass They come with bread, soup, salad, desserts and drinks which were all delicious! 😋🤤
