Wanhua District, Taipei City｜A-Cai Milkfish Belly

Great supper spot. Dishes are done well with fresh ingredients, I recommend the fish belly soup (though the grilled fish belly seems more popular) along with the basil & garlic fried squid. Attentive and friendly staff as well.

Well, it's delicious. In fact, I heard that this late-night cafeteria existed two years ago. The last time I visited Taiwan, I found that it was closed on Sunday. This time I did my homework so I finally came across it. I have seen many other reviews so I want to list the good and bad points: benefit: - Braised pork rice: It is really delicious, the proportion is even, the meat is moist and the rice is fragrant - Scallion eggs: a large portion, the first bite is delicious, and then I feel that it is no different from other scrambled eggs - Fried fish maw: Actually, I don't like fish, but when I came to the famous Acai milkfish - they even put the fish on the signboard, how could you not try it? It may be due to cultural differences, Taiwanese fish maw looks/taste like a fish (can anyone in Taiwan confirm this?) The first bite has the feeling of "ah! It's fish", but the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes, the more you want to eat it again. There is no fishy taste, so it is recommended. harm: - The smell of oily smoke is heavy in the store. Fortunately, I sat at the door (I have never been so grateful for sitting at the door) and it was not so bad, but I still got choked two or three times - I arrived at 1:30 in the morning on a rainy day. It turned out that I had to queue for half an hour and waited for food for 20 minutes - The food is really delicious, so it's okay to wait. I planned to wait, but I was a little unwilling to wait. In fact, if the store puts one or two more tables, allows setting up a table, or lets customers order food while waiting outside, the kitchen can serve food more efficiently, and customers can be diverted from waiting so long. - But of course, it is also possible that the store is trying to catch the herd mentality, so that customers think it is a good thing when they see people queuing; therefore, there are always people waiting outside the store. - Wait~ Lonely until late at night~ The night is getting desolate~ The night is getting dark~ (By the way, there is a Carrefour Guilin store near here, walking distance from Ximending, open 24 hours; I never knew there was such a department store, which has everything from souvenirs to cooked food to furniture and electrical appliances, which will definitely attract tourists. Returning with a full load/bleeding. The author bought the local Bak Kut Teh instant noodles and prince noodles, and finally needed a pack box to leave orz because I bought too much.)

The food is good. Much better than ximending hawker stalls. Service is fine. The staffs are well organized when taking orders and able to deliver the food although the restaurant is always packed. If the queue is too long, can opt to take out and enjoy the delicious food in your hotel room.
