Da’an District, Taipei City｜小倉屋鰻魚飯 光復本店

Excellent meal!! I always stay around this area and previously I traveled very far to a famous unagi restaurant but after eating here I don’t think I will go far again! All unagi here exceeds my expectation be it the white eel, grilled eel, or grilled then steamed eel!! Minimal fine bones in the eel! Definitely coming back here again!!

The senior and one of the person in charge gave a warm introduction, and we prepared an exclusive menu to taste the signature dishes once. #破鲜3年，#杀粉8年，#烧烤生活。 One sentence explains the technique of cooking eel Kabayaki. As imagined, it is not easy to deal with squid eels.

From the section of eel belly, it is freshly killed and grilled. According to legend, there are many merchants in Kansai, unlike the prevalence of Bushido in Kanto, caesarean section will not cause bad luck. The lacquerware and tableware are all from Japan. The Japanese native species of eel are raised in Taiwan.

The eel is grilled on direct fire to the soul. After three times of cooling, it not only tastes good but also burnt.
