This 龍來旺小館 was recommended by my friend Fen Yuan
One bite and I was blown away, it's really super delicious and fresh
The shop is small but very clean and refreshing,
There are 4-person tables outside, and round tables inside, perfect for group meals
Besides the regular menu items, there are also fresh catches of the day,
Super fresh, kept in a small fridge,
Prices are listed on the wall, completely open and transparent
There are so many dishes here, some require advance reservation,
But the prices are very affordable, similar to stir-fry restaurants
Some dishes are quite unique, you won't get tired of eating them
Free white rice for dine-in,
1. Pickled Radish: NT$150
This is the house-made radish, very crisp,
With a hint of sweet and savory flavor, very appetizing and helps cut the richness
2. Blanched Shrimp: NT$250
The shrimp are super fresh and large, just blanched,
No seasoning needed, naturally sweet and fresh,
Can be paired with wasabi soy sauce on the side to enhance the sweetness even more
3. Stir-Fried Clams: NT$150
This huge plate of clams is fresh and perfectly seasoned,
Every clam is plump and juicy, paired with garlic and basil, super rice-killing
This large plate is only 150, basically stir-fry restaurant prices but restaurant quality!!
4. Three-Cup Squid: NT$490
This three-cup dish is perfectly executed, old ginger is dried out nicely, garlic is fried but still tender
The squid is fresh and springy, sauce is savory and flavorful, another rice killer
5. Clam Soup: NT$150
Same as the stir-fried clams, huge pot that's refreshing and sweet,
Really wonder if the owner is even making money~~~
6. Spicy Chicken Cartilage: NT$250
This chicken cartilage is also super tasty and great with rice, although it looks like lots of chili, it's actually mildly spicy
Crispy outside, tender inside, not greasy at all
The chicken cartilage has no bones, with a bit of tender chicken meat, very aromatic
7. Stir-Fried Water Spinach: NT$150
Garlic is used generously, crisp and not greasy, cooked just right
8. Typhoon Shelter Enoki Mushrooms: NT$250
This is recommended, super thick fresh mushrooms deep-fried, paired with typhoon shelter garlic crumbs
The mushroom is crispy outside and juicy inside, paired with crispy garlic crumbs and green onions
Perfect to pair with beer
9. Fried Corn: NT$200
This is also a signature dish here, must order!!
The pre-filled corn is deep-fried, a bit like salt & pepper chicken style
The pepper aroma enhances the corn's sweetness even more
Soft corn with sweet aroma, super easy to eat, loved by both adults and kids
10. Braised Bamboo Shoots: NT$320
A bit like bamboo shoots stir-fried with shredded pork, but first time trying fresh sweet bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork,
Savory with a hint of sweetness, very crisp, delicious and great with rice
11. Dragon Tiger Grouper: NT$1,100
When this fish was served, Fen Yuan was shocked, it's huge~~
Super generous portion, the fish meat is incredibly fresh,
Thick and firm texture, springy, sweet, and gelatinous,
Because it's so fresh, steaming it is already delicious
12. Tea Jelly: Complimentary
The tea jelly is plum tea jelly, made with quality ingredients,
You can really taste the plum sweetness and aroma, very nice
I honestly think this restaurant is really delicious
Prices are similar to stir-fry restaurants, but the quality matches a proper restaurant
Will come back next time to try other dishes
