Taipei Travel

We came for dinner to 阿才的店 (Ah Cai de dian means Ah Cai Restaurant) located at No. 26號, Section 2, Ren'ai Road, Zhongzheng District. We ordered the famous 阿才豆腐 （Ah Cai Toufu with duck and pork sausage chinese salted ham, mushrooms and beans) and 油條阿仔 (dough fritters with vegetables). It was out of this world. Never tasted such combination. We also ordered the 空心菜 （kangkong fried with dried red chili). A potent combination. Recommended if you want to try traditional Taiwanese food away from the usual touristy crowd. The ambience was like a scene from an old Japanese Hut with chinese posters from movies of 60/70. The guests were mainly local Taiwanese and Japanese. A hidden gem tucked away in a small street corner.

We came as two families on a weeknight. The place was still not full when we arrived. It has a homey feel. We ordered grilled fish and fried milkfish, pig knuckles, fish soup and eggplants.

I love 阿才的店, it's got all types of Taiwanese cuisine, and quick stir fries that are tasty and go so well with 18 days Taiwanese beer. We order the fried preserved eggs, it looks pitch black but taste great. I also recommend beef stir fry with water spinach in barbecue sauce and cabbage stir fry with dry chili and vinegar, strangely enough, they are match mate in heaven. At the end we ordered pork belly pickle soup, which is the perfect ending. I love their small 2 story house, with many retro goodies, it's like going back to grandma's house to eat, it's definitely a Taiwanese culture you have to experience.

新住所 台湾台北仁愛路二段26號 定休日 月曜日 営業時間 〜深夜0時 NHK世界入りにくい居酒屋で放映された店舗から仁愛路に面した洒落たお店に変わりましたが、女将の愛想のなさはテレビのままです。事前にfacebook、messengerで確認、予約して伺いました。事前予約が良いと思います。料理は選んだ料理のせいかも知れませんが、期待したほどではありませんでした。値段はリーズナブルです。日本語のメニューもあるので、注文もしやすいです。ご参考になれば嬉しいです！

今天才發現它已經搬家了！口味一如既往，是適合下酒的道地台菜。據說舊址在2018年2月28日就吹熄燈號，同年5/26在新店址重新開張，大家不要跑錯了。飯後招待的香草芭樂很好吃！
