West District, Taichung City｜Uncle ALEX Kitchen 地中海風 家庭料理

Introduction: This is a Mediterranean cuisine in southern France, similar to the common Western food, and the signature dish is cheese pot. Service: Excellent, the uncle is very enthusiastic, the staff's explanation of the dishes is also very professional, and there is also table service. Uncle also gave guests Christmas gifts near Christmas, which was very thoughtful. Dishes: Excellent, including desserts are made by Uncle himself, the meals are quite unique and delicious Environment: Good, although the decoration is relatively simple and family style, but many exquisite decorations make the environment very warm Meal introduction: ⚫French yogurt salad: Although it looks ordinary, the sweet and sour yogurt sauce has a rose aroma, and it is very appetizing with refreshing vegetables and fruits ⚫Italian sweet and sour salad: Same as French yogurt salad, but the sauce has orange flavor and a little saltiness ⚫Greek Sour Cucumber Chicken Salad: The shredded chicken is very generous, unlike the usual few crumbs on the outside. The pickle mustard dipped in apple cider vinegar was refreshing. ⚫Venice Seafood Bisque: The bisque is decorated with green sauce and shrimp in the shape of flowers, very cute! The soup is quite rich, a bit like spaghetti sauce. ⚫ Parsley Tomato Vegetable Oxtail Soup: Salty, more suitable for people with strong taste ⚫ Seafood Cheese Pot: The must-order cheese pot in this restaurant! There are scallops and q-bomb shrimp in the seafood pot, which is very delicious when wrapped in rich cheese. There are also crunchy croutons that can be eaten with cheese, one bite after another can't stop. ⚫Duck breast with red wine cherry: When eating, a bite of duck meat is served with apples and cucumbers, and then dipped in red wine sauce. It has a familiar feeling. This dish is very suitable for those who like refreshing taste. ⚫ Boneless Beef Short Ribs: The meat is tender and juicy, and it is delicious with onion and garlic slices ⚫Baked pork knuckles with vanilla cheese: lean pork knuckles are selected, the meat is firm, and the skin is full of collagen. The baked cheese adds more texture and melts in the mouth. I didn't order it originally, but I added it when I saw that it was delicious at other tables. This dish must be ordered with the cheese pot. ⚫Red wine stewed beef: beef stewed with red wine without water. The taste is very soft and tender with the aroma of red wine, but without the choking taste of wine. Uncle introduced two ways of eating, the Chinese style of pouring the sauce on the rice and the Western style of putting the rice in the sauce for a while to turn it into stewed rice. The Western style of stewed rice makes the rice full of the smell of red wine beef. Highly recommend. ⚫ Dessert: Even the desserts are made by Uncle himself! On the left is a blueberry cheesecake, in the middle is an egg tart with dried raspberries, and on the right is a matcha jelly made with matcha powder that Uncle brought back from Japan. The matcha jelly is very refreshing, with a strong tea aroma but not astringent. The frankincense of the egg tart and cheesecake is very strong, with a touch of berry flavor, sweet but not greasy, even if I don't like desserts, I can finish a whole serving or more. ⚫Rose tea: sweet and sour, with the aroma of roses, my favorite fruit tea. When I asked for ice, uncle also thoughtfully said that girls should not drink too much ice, just go ice 😂 ⚫Lavender tea: only hot, but the strong lavender fragrance is refreshing and thirst-quenching ⚫Rose aperitif: Sweet and sour, a bit choking, but the alcohol concentration is only 4%, I can finish it even if I hate the smell of alcohol. Taste the suitable consumption of different meals, which can help you taste the characteristics of each meal.

A restaurant worth visiting again and again. The main course of today's meal is steak and pork knuckles, both of which are amazing and delicious. The steak is as "tender and bloodless" as described by the boss, and still retains the authenticity of the meat. The pork knuckle has a special skin and tender meat, and it has a refreshing flavor when dipped in the sauce. Cheese pot is indeed a side meal that I have been looking forward to for a long time. I think Uncle has a perfect balance between refreshing and full-bodied. You can eat one bite after another without getting greasy. Delicious to enjoy, even special festivals have intimate little surprises What is impressive is Uncle's enthusiasm for each guest and his love for his restaurant. Almost like a host, the atmosphere of each table is lively but not awkward. The boss who loves his work so much will definitely only entertain every guest with confident works. recommended restaurants

Alex is friendly and a great chef!! We walked into this restaurant accidentally as we are looking for dinner after 8.40pm. Saw this very nicely decorated restaurant and decided to walk in. It's indeed the right decision as the food served are nice and tasty. Alex is so friendly and we did chat and gotten to know him better. Will I drop by this restaurant again when I am in TaiChung in near future, I think the answer is definitely "YES"!!
