il Giardino Romantico

富元是老公以前常跟樂團的人來吃的一間小館子。交往的時候，老公知道我愛吃雞肉，又愛吃油雞，就帶我來這裡吃。其實他真的很不錯吃。涼涼的油雞，夏天吃也不嫌悶熱。這次來已經是懷孕中期的時候。初期胃口不好，又不是那麼想吃雞，不過到了中期，雖然還是偏愛牛肉多一點，但對雞的興趣也漸漸的恢復了。當時肚子還不算大，但走久了還是覺得累，所以老公就騎著機車帶我來這裡吃。現在肚子大起來了，短距離的路程還可以勉強給他載，但長程的就真的坐得很不舒服。這間要來吃恐怕也要等生完孩子才能再來了！

This is a place my husband used to come and dine with his friends in the band. When we first started going out, knowing that I fancied chicken, he took me here to try their chicken. It was not bad! The chicken was served cold, making it a nice summertime meal. This time round, I was already during my second trimester of my pregnancy. I'd gradually regained my appetite for chicken, although many times, I still prefer beef. My tummy wasn't bulging out so much then, so it was still okay to ride on the back of the scooter. Now, I can only go on short rides. Long rides make me feel quite uncomfortable... So I guess if I do want to come back for their chicken rice, it'll have to wait till the baby arrives. 

 

我對這間印象最深刻的就是他們那個大到不行的湯匙！結果今天給我的並不是大湯匙～ 

另外，他們員工的嗓門也都很大（不知道在大聲什麼 XDDDD）

每個桌上都有供應茶水，但我這天就不想喝茶（其實我都盡量避免，唯有泰式奶茶我會無法克制所以平常就不喝茶！Quota全留給泰式奶茶去～）結果跟他們要白開水竟然沒有（這點有讓我訝異到！）

My impression of the place was that they served the meal with a gigantic spoon. I don't know why I didn't get that gigantic spoon this time. 

Another impression was that the people there had really loud voices... 

Tea was served for every table, but being pregnant, I wanted to avoid tea as much as I could (since I love Thai milk tea so much, that's about the only tea I drink). When I asked for plain water, I was a bit shocked that they didn't provide any... 



油雞飯有三樣配菜。配菜雖不算驚豔，但也不失美味。最重要的還是主角油雞算不錯吃！所以配菜我也就不這麼講究。

The main course was the chicken, of course. But there are three side dishes that comes with it. They weren't bad, but there wasn't anything special about them either. The protagonist was the chicken, so as long as the chicken was delicious enough, I didn't really care that much. 



老公點的排骨飯。這次附上的湯匙就是我稍早提到的超大湯匙。曾經試過把它塞到嘴巴裡，還真的是很勉強...（我真無聊...）

Pork chop - what my husband ordered. This time, it was served with the gigantic spoon I mentioned earlier. I tried once, stuffing the spoon into my mouth... okay, it wasn't a smart thing to do... Don't do it.



配菜都是差不多的。排骨炸的還不錯。不會柴。不過我還是比較喜歡他們的油雞。

The side dishes were quite similar. The pork chop was quite nice. It was nice and tender. Pretty juicy too. But I still prefer the chicken. 

 

之前與老公樂團的朋友們來吃過它們的合菜，其實也不錯。這間就位於京華城附近的小巷子內。其實那周邊也有滿多好吃的！斜對面就一間熱炒，感覺也是很不錯（每次都很多人）

We once came with my husband's friends in the band for a feast. Most of the dishes were quite nice. It's located in the alley by Living Mall. There are quite some places in these alleys that seem worth trying! The one adjacent to this place seemed crowded all the time... Might give it a try some time.

吃完以後覺得要來點甜的做結尾。那一陣子吃完飯總是要來個甜的才會感覺有吃飽！後來第一次妊娠糖尿病沒驗過就不敢再這樣肆無忌憚地吃了！

Afterwards, we came for dessert as an ending to this meal. During that time, it was the only way I'd feel full after a meal! 



其實這天本來想吃愛玉的，但老闆娘說沒有了！（才中午ㄟ怎麼就沒了呢？？）所以就點了豆花跟招牌的鴉片粉圓。

I had wanted to have some lemon jelly (aiyu), but the shopowner said they were out.... It was still noon! How was that possible? So, we ordered douhua and their signature opium fen yuan (tapioca balls - don't worry, opium is just a name, not an ingredient!!)



雖然看起來冰塊很多，但攪拌過之後也融得差不多了。剛好稀釋一下糖水。吃起來也不覺得過甜，滿好吃的！

It seemed to have a lot of ice in it, but once you mix it up a bit, it would all melt, diluting the sugar syrup and also perfecting the taste.



老公點的豆花。也是有粉圓。

Douhua - also with tapioca balls.



後來我們發現碗上印有奇怪的字樣，原來是要轉向自己，反著看。不過其實有點多此一舉啊！因為如果轉個方向，印正的，還是可以讀得出來的啊～

Then, we noticed something interesting... These Chinese characters were printed upside down. But if it faces you, then you'd be able to read it. A bit redundant if you ask me. Once you turn the bowl around, if it's printed the right way up, you can still make out the words just fine!
