il Giardino Romantico

雖然不是第一次在中與志用餐，但這應該是頭一回寫食記。我吃過他的迴轉壽司，也吃過他的定食。感覺上迴轉壽司比較優，但定食確實是比較划算。

This is not my first visit to Nakayoshi. I've tried their conveyor belt sushi bar before, and I've also had their teishoku (set meal). I reckon the sushi bar has better quality, but the teishoku has more value (more filling). 

網路上看過一張照片，是說找到陪你一起做很瘋狂的事的人，無價！

有的時候我覺得我身邊的人也蠻瘋狂的，但是自己好像也沒好到哪裡去。話說這次來到廟口夜市其實是為了雪恥。曾經有一次，到了月底，兩人口袋都空空，卻又很想來基隆廟口夜市。怎麼辦？只好限定只帶$300在身上！天啊！那天真的超痛苦的！看到海鮮，不能點！因為一盤點下去，別的就不用吃了！結果這次回來，雖然口袋是有盤纏，但還是為了預防自己花太多錢，因此將金額提高到$500。

到了清邁的第一天晚上，就把行程安排給高中時的兩位好友。想一想還真的超級久沒見面了！我想這就是當第三文化小孩的後遺症吧！身邊比較少會有陪你一起長大的好朋友。因為大家畢業後都會跑到世界各地去發展。這兩位好友原本都在曼谷打拼，後來也因為種種因素搬回了清邁。

約好時間以後，接著就在飯店等著人家來接。所以不負責任之一，就是我沒辦法用很專業的方式告訴你這裡要怎麼來。不過如果告訴tuk tuk，（應該）到的了吧！？

I had arranged to meet up with two of my best friends from high school upon my first night in Chiang Mai. I guess it's one of the many things that third-culture kids have to deal with - that you rarely have friends from childhood by your side when you're all grown up! They scatter all over the world once you leave school. Fortunately, these two friends came back to Chiang Mai after having spent a considerable amount of time in Bangkok. 

  

沒吃過這兩間包子，沒說你來過鹿港。據說，在地人吃的都是老龍師，而阿振都是外地人在買的。其實在地人吃什麼，外地人要不要跟著在地人腳步走，我覺得沒那麼重要。重要的是，你得看你自己喜歡哪一間的口味啊。這兩間都在龍山寺附近。來到鹿港除了逛逛老街，去龍山寺逛逛、拜拜之外，也別忘了買個包子來嚐嚐。

There are two types of meat buns you simply must try when you come to Lukang. Don't tell people you've been to Lukang until you've tried them! Some say that 老龍師（Old Dragon Master, Laolongshi) suit the taste of the locals more, and 阿振 (Azheng) meat buns are for visitors. Well, I think what's more important is what you, yourself, prefer! These are quite close to Longshan Temple, and the Old Street. So they're not hard to locate!

天仙在家裡是出了名的雞肉控。不過天仙有個壞毛病，就是最愛雞腿跟雞翅。所以每次家裡只要出現全雞這種東西，只要看到雞腿沒了、雞翅也沒了，我就完全不想碰它了。這次家裡提早掃墓。當然也準備了全雞。因為祖先的墓在台北，家人一大清早就從台中北上。拜完之後不想再帶回台中，所以就請住在台北的我拿回家處理。當然，這次也是... 等我把它截肢，吃完雞翅跟雞腿之後，剩下的完全不知道該拿它怎麼辦！後來靈機一動！想到一個簡單的方式，既可以處理掉這堆雞肉，又可以輕鬆解決一兩餐！

不知道已經看了幾篇大家分享的食記。心想說：再怎麼說本姑娘也是未來的彰化媳婦兒，怎麼可以不跟進！於是這次到了彰化，就吵著一定要來這間。即使未來的婆婆早就買好燒餅跟豆漿，嗑完之後還是硬要來。

I've seen a few blog entries on this cafe, and had wanted to come and try it myself. Whenever we come to Changhua, we never had time to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee or a light meal. This time, even though my future-mother-in-law, without knowing I had other plans, had already bought us breakfast, I still insisted that we come!

過年期間去了一趟高雄。自己開車去，又是當天來回，因此在高雄也只是去探望一下外婆就快閃返回台中了。回程有人提議說要一路吃回台中，反正大概會塞車，不如就苦中作樂。於是我們決定第一站來到台南麻豆的阿蘭碗粿。老爸老媽說這間好吃。我也沒吃過。基本上因為裡面有我不吃的豬肉，加上前一天才因為腸胃不好送醫院，因此我不打算吃太多。只是聽到大家要一路吃回台中開始興奮了！因為今年過年假期太短，根本沒拍到什麼東西。我想說一路吃回台中，又可以收集好多食記的照片夠我寫好一陣子了！

The family took a short day trip to Kaohsiung during the Lunar New Year holidays. All we did in Kaohsiung was pay our dear Granny a short visit, then left. On our way back, someone suggested that since traffic jam was almost inevitable, we might as well enjoy ourselves by devouring the delicacies along the way back to Taichung. Our first stop was Tainan for their famous 'rice bowl cake'. My parents highly recommended it, but I'd never had it. Seeing that I don't usually eat pork, and that the previous night I was just sent to the hospital for bad tummy, I didn't plan to each much anyway. I got excited about this plan, only because I thought I got a chance to take loads of pictures for articles on the blog. 

遇到冷氣團來襲的周末，唯一能夠覺得還不賴的就是可以躲在被窩裡睡晚晚。要不是這天剛好有事要外出，可能就會一整天窩在被窩裡吧！既然要出門，而過年期間也因為假期短，所以根本沒花到什麼錢。我們才有機會奢侈地外出享用一下早午餐。Cafe Cafe天仙並不是第一次光顧（舊食記附在文末）。所以信心滿滿的帶著蔡同學來到這裡。一走進店裡就發現不太對耶！怎麼跟我印象中的Cafe Cafe不太一樣？

The best thing to do in the morning of a cold weekend, is to stay in bed until... whenever! However, we had missions to accomplish this day, so we had to leave our comfy duvet and get out of the house. Since we had a very short Lunar New Year holiday, that meant we still had plenty left in our monthly budget. We decided to treat ourselves to a scrumptious brunch. This was not my first visit to Cafe Cafe (go to the links at the bottom of the article to see the old posts). I was quite confident that my companion would enjoy this meal! But when I saw the place, I was a bit shocked! It looked nothing like the Cafe Cafe I remembered!

繼聖誕節那天嚐過了三本味的招牌起司鮭魚握壽司之後（看舊文），每一天都在想著要再找一天來補上用650D拍他重新篇食記。恰好與朋友相約時，她也看到了那篇食記，就讓我逮到機會回來補拍。不過這天還是有點小遺憾。原因就是因為我實在太小看他了。原以為就只有兩個人，位子應該比較好喬。不料人多的哩！我們能有位子就不錯了！只是食用時間只有短短的一個小時不到。不過我們也接受了。因為我們並不打算吃很多。重點是要來嘗嘗招牌握壽司，其他都不重要了！

After my first visit to this Japanese place, and tried their cheese and salmon nigiri sushi, I craved for my next visit! I wanted to come back and re-take the photos, since I only had my phone with me last time. My friend and I were discussing where to eat, and she happened to see the last article I wrote about this place. We decided to come here, so I got my chance to retake these photos. However, I underestimated the place, thinking that it was a weekday, and that there were only the two of us, getting a table wouldn't be that difficult! We did manage to get a table, but we had less than an hour to dine. It was okay, though. We accepted the condition, for we really wanted to have the nigiri sushi!
