In Japan, my favorite place to enjoy it is in some garden of a temple, under the spring or autumn time sunlight, with perhaps a small jar of Sake. (Chilled or warmed, depends on the weather.)
I also love to have it on a train, bring along a Perrier and a bit of wine to go with it, but unfortunately, the kind of stuff they serve nowadays in Taiwan isn't good at all.
In Taipei, however, if you've got a bit more time than a rushed at work lunch, and you happen to be somewhere near 師大路(Shi-Da road) area, you can consider to give this restaurant a try.
This place used to be a small, crowded, noisy and greasy eatery also selling take-out lunch box, a few years ago the boss decided to dress the place up, although still selling the same type of food, but the ambiance is totally changed, turned out to be a brilliant idea.
Now, you can sit down at a quiet corner next to the window, listening to classical music, and enjoy your dessert(although the portion is very small, but it comes with the menu, you can't beat the price, only around NT160 per set menu, including soup, main course, dessert and one beverage) with a cup of coffee.
Entrance decoration designed to match their theme: simple dinning in a bamboo garden.
Our favorite spot
Steamy hot potato and carrot soup, simple but hearty.
Main course: 便當 (lunch box stuff)
They don't put too much unnecessary sauce on it, so you can taste the original ingredients and it's pretty healthy. Tasty as well.
There's always an egg, but they change the vegetables constantly.
Steamed rice under everything.
Thin slices of barbecued pork, juicy and nice, with a hint of fennel aroma.
Deep fried chicken leg, crispy outside and tender inside.
Dessert was a small bowl of red bean soup, good for a chilly winter afternoon.
In summer, they serve ice cream, tea jello and cheese cake instead.
