il Giardino Romantico

到職已經快滿一年了，趁著這篇拖了好幾個月的食記，也順便來檢視一下自己對於工作的各種想法吧！
很多人都問我當初怎麼會選上這工作。其實當初沒有想很多。就在小孩差不多在計劃要給保母帶的時間點，有人跟我說這裡有缺，就來了。在大學工作，原以為是最穩定不過的了。朝九晚五的下班，除了固定的特休，連寒暑假都還有放有薪假的權益。不過剛開始從全職媽媽轉職業媽媽真的很不容易。有時候開會也不是你說了算，更不是你主管說你不用參加就真的不用參加。由其實跟校長臨時招開的會議，就是只能等到接近下班時間，他們才有空。所以頭三個月，我哭了好多次。很懷疑自己有沒有辦法勝任這份工作。
由於我們是新的單位，因此全校對我們的期望很高。老闆也有很高的視野，想要做很多事情。這就變成我們當幕僚的要拚了命。熬過了前三個月之後，終於有點喘息的機會。不過再隔三個月，我又接受了另一份大挑戰。德國一所大學的校長來要跟我們學校簽約。學校最高層親口指示：請以最高規格接待！於是苦了我這整整三天要全程陪伴，外加清晨3:00就要從家裡出發去機場接機的苦命人。
不過也因為這樣高規格的接待，讓我在過程中學了真的很多東西、體驗了許多第一次！
其他的不說，光是能在101頂樓喝香檳，就已經夠我這鄉巴佬講個十年了。更別說拜會台中市市長、行政院副院長等行程了。
晚餐就更是不用說 - 全都是董事長、總經理、中研院院士等級的人物。
雖然只是小小咖，但我見識到什麼叫做真正的有氣質的人 - 不會因為你是小咖就完全不鳥你啊（因為他們也知道能與他們同桌，一定有長處吧！）
小的我號稱也跟泰國皇室吃過飯的人，也想見識一下台灣文化中的高規格晚宴。這次學校高層的秘書將晚宴地點安排在遠企的上海醉月樓。本來是非常期待，對於餐廳的整體服務以及菜色！
冷盤
繡球菊花豆腐
第一次見識到如此厲害的刀工！原來電視演的是真的啊！
碗豆炒蝦仁
忘記是什麼肉了...
炒蘆筍
魚
湯
當天晚上的包廂，一走進去，看到非常大的圓桌！（有多大我也不知道如何形容，但基本上是大到不是一個放個圓盤就可以解決的...）因此所有人的菜都是服務人員分配好一人一份。因此看不到整盤的呈現。
但原則上這種場合本來就是需要這樣的服務。
整場吃下來覺得最驚豔的地方，還是整桌貴賓的氣息！身處於這種場合，我只能多學！另外我也很得意地跟主管說：我看到哪位貴賓落單了，我就厚著臉皮去跟他聊天！主管說他有看到，也覺得我很會隨機應變。
至於最重要的菜色... 
我想，這樣說好了：這餐事隔幾個月有了，我卻一點也不會懷念．．．
懂了吧！？

記得當初還在台北的時候，產檢到後來已經算是家常便飯了。中午開始請假就慢慢晃到醫院附近。原本都是買個麵包喝個牛奶了事。後來經過姑姑的介紹得知這家老字號的九如商號，產檢時的午餐才開始有了不一樣的變化。畢竟原本只是一個月一次的產檢，最後變成每兩個禮拜甚至每個禮拜去一次，麵包吃到最後也會厭倦的～ 
孩子雖然已經快十個月了，不過一直沒機會寫什麼格子。我都很好奇大家在生產後到底怎麼寫文的啊？（可以教一下嗎？）
偶爾才可以偷個閒寫個文這樣。整理照片時發現照片既然都拍了，那刪掉也可惜。就找個時間把它貼出來吧！
隨著肚子越來越大，當時的食量也當然越來越驚人。因此這次我除了主食還點了兩道小菜。
雪菜肉絲
純粹是因為想吃點青菜而點的。
涼拌豆絲
這道是為了淋上酸溜溜的醋才點的。我孕期吃了好多醋，不知道仙女長大以後會不會特別愛吃醋～ XD
餛飩湯　
喜歡這間的餛飩，因為他們家的口感跟我們家自己包的口感比較相近。比較沒有很複雜的味道，內餡就是很"乖"的味道這樣。
另外加上一點醋，就是很美味的一餐。
這一餐下肚，飽的很。然後散步一下就去體檢了。所以當時體重爆重，應該都是產檢前大吃的緣故！？
後來附近開了一間福州大餛飩，不知道這間生意有沒有因此受影響。不過他們還有很多其他好吃的，我都還來不及嘗呢！！喜歡江浙風味的可以試試看喔！

到底是什麼地方可以讓天仙拼出這麼壯觀的拼圖？
這其實是超過十個人的聚餐啦！並不是只有我跟老公去的唷！（孕婦的食量也沒大到這麼誇張啦！）
其實這天帶著很不捨的心情來跟大家聚餐。因為這是去年九月的聚餐。到了十月自己知道要回到中部待產，而生完孩子後就要遷居台中。就在也沒辦法跟大家一起上瑜珈課了。所以這次說什麼都也要來。每一年的教師節前後，班長都會安排與老師聚餐。這次刻意安排在九月初，以免天仙的小寶貝突然想要出來，就跟不到了！
平常練習瑜珈前後僅僅幾分鐘的聊天時間，根本來不及跟大家混熟。因此每一年天仙都很把握聚餐時刻。這次就更不用說了！而且加上這次是吃泰國菜，當然更不能錯過。不過來這邊，對於餐點的期望不用太大。畢竟可以吃到飽，揪一堆人來，菜單上的東西全部點一輪來，吃的好過癮！只要不要太誇張的差，其實還是很不錯的唷！
以上是菜單！樣式也不算少唷！所以這間也算是人多吃了才划算的！不然人少少的來，點個幾盤就吃飽了，很不值得呀！
還有泰式奶茶可以點喔！
空心菜
蔥油雞
泰國米飯
酸辣生蝦
天仙為了解饞只吃了一隻。因為蝦子容易引發過敏，又加上這種吃到飽的餐廳，蝦子的新鮮度其實不太可靠。但又好想吃啊～
這些都是下飯的菜。打拋豬肉
可要小心啊！別一碗一碗的白飯下肚，其他東西就吃不下囉！
辣炒豬肉？
辣炒皮蛋？
天仙的健忘症又犯了（明明前面有拍菜單為啥不回去看呢？）
大薄片
苦瓜鹹蛋
椒麻雞
月亮蝦餅
檸檬魚
涼拌青木瓜
椒麻豆腐
檸檬魚（整條）
宮保海鮮
酸辣湯
沙拉
這麼多選擇了，誰還會想吃沙拉呢？
最後還有甜點！
冰淇淋！
雖然環境普通、服務普通、味道也普通。不過可以一次吃到這麼多口味，誰還會在乎餐點的精緻度或是到底好不好吃了呢？（其實真的不差，但如果是單點式的，我絕對不會推）

蝦密！！！台灣竟然吃的到道地的泰北料理！？！？！？
可惡！竟然到了要離開台北才發現有這間餐廳。得知後馬上約了友人一同來嘗鮮。
店內裝以木製品為主。有南亞風的味道。要不是位在台北市區，如果多點戶外空間，會更有泰北風呢！
原本是想把menu拍拍，但拍到後來發現實在是太多頁了！真的沒辦法！只好選拍幾張比較有特色的料理給大家做參考。
這裡有非常多的泰北料理可以選擇。
所以來這邊用餐，天仙建議別點其他餐廳也吃的到的打拋之類的菜了！
準備好來看看菜色了嗎？
烤松阪豬
因為有小朋友同行，所以點了小朋友可能會喜歡的。這道菜果然好吃到我們最後又加點了一盤！
一般來說，這樣有特色的餐廳，天仙是不會點月亮蝦餅的。不過看了其他網友的實際發現他們的月亮蝦餅很有特色！因此破例點來吃吃看！
這樣的厚度是不是超實在的？！
涼拌酸肉
會想來這間嚐嚐看，主要就是因為看到他們有供應酸肉！一定要點來吃的啊！真懷念的味道～～
炒飯也是為了孩子們點的。而且飯是放在剖開的鳳梨裡喔！
清蒸檸檬魚
好吃的沒話說～ 目前為止還沒失望～
樣子非常的道地，改良的部分非常少。檸檬、花生、辣椒一樣都不少
月亮蝦餅的擺盤就是之前介紹過khantoke用的"桌盤"喔～ [舊文連結]
連擺盤都有特色～　所以當然要點囉！
飲料當然就少不了泰式奶茶囉～
摩摩喳喳
椰漿紫米
甜點也沒令人失望（只是有點小貴）
整體來說我們很滿意。因為這次有小朋友同行，加上我自己當時還是孕婦，其實很多更道地的泰北菜這次沒機會嘗到（因為都偏辣）。下次北上若有機會還想再去吃吃看其他的泰北菜！！
不過價格不親民，所以建議揪滿一桌人，才能一次嘗到多樣菜色喔！

這一餐隔至今日已經好幾個月去了。去的時候還是個大肚婆，現在孩子都已經四個月了。時間過得好快啊！
這間燒肉店是我在網路上看到，風評好像還不錯，而且感覺有利害才想來的。後來約了友人真的實現了來這裡的願望。因為這種燒肉只有兩個人吃的話太不划算了。
位置不難找。而且沿街好多燒肉店（是燒肉街萊著嗎？）
雖然坪數不大，不過布置的還滿有feel的。
菜單做的也滿有心思的。
服務態度也不錯。
首先上場的是飲料。我...忘了這是什麼（掩面...逃走）
因為吃燒肉一定會吃暴多肉的，所以來盤沙拉均衡一下。這沙拉有海菜根和風醬，味道很不錯喔。
緊接著令人振奮的燒肉要上場囉！
豬肉
牛肉
雞肉
盤盤紋路都很美麗。
雖然這天沒有專人服務，不過我們自己烤出來的也挺不錯的吧！？
香菇跟杏鮑菇
食材的新鮮度，不沾任何醬料都好好吃。
美人腿
燒肉果然要吃精緻的～～
後來又加點的豬跟牛。還有花枝。
最後還有甜點。前者是原味，後者是紅茶。據說紅茶的不怎麼樣。原味的倒是很棒喔！
非常滿意的一餐。雖然價格不夠親民，不過因為食材很新鮮也很棒，所以天仙覺得滿值得的。
燒肉無敵，果然名不虛傳喔～～

有時候覺得連鎖店的好處就是沒有驚喜但也不會有雷。雖然和民稱不上頂級的美味，但至少來吃過幾次都覺得還算不錯。服務上也沒什麼好挑剔的。不過在繼續下去之前，我得先說：這篇有生魚片！然後呢... 孩子都生了，也很健康！所以麻煩大家不要再念說孕婦不能吃生魚片了喔～啾咪～！
這天來這兒時間還算早。不過兩個人都餓的差不多了。本來想再衝去吃海南雞飯的（想到此時肚子還沒有很大，還可以趴趴走），但又有點懶。所以就選擇就近解決。老公說他沒吃過，剛好帶他來嘗個鮮。
Nothing much could be said abour a franchise like this. There's not much to expect from it, but then that also minimizes the chance of being disappointed. I'd been here a few times and thought the food okay. The service was also quite satisfactory. Before I continue, however, I must say that yes, I had sashimi again... I know it's risky to eat raw food during pregnancy, but now that the child's been born, and she's fit and well, please cut me some lack~
We were here quite early that day, but we were hungry already. We though about heading to Hainan Chicken, thinking it was still okay to travel the distance, but then we both got lazy and settled for closer by choices. My hubby said he'd never had Watami before, so here we were! 
研究了一下菜單決定直接點雙人套餐。選擇也還算多。
There were a lot of choices. In the end, we decided to order set meals for two.
看到飲料單，還真想來杯啤酒啊！還好老公這天沒有很囂張的點啤酒... 
The drink list was quite extensive. Really craved for some icy cold beer... but I refrained!! 
另外也有多人適用的宴會料理喔！
There was also a menu for big parties.
東區這間和民坪數比較大，怕大家需要服務卻叫不到人，所以這個按鈕還算是個貼心的設計。
This location was quite large in space, so in case you needed service, but couldn't find anyone, they'd thoughtfully designed this bell, so you could just 'ring' them.
首先上場的是沙拉。啊～是我不喜歡的凱薩耶... 還好醬料沒有很多。我還是喜歡吃原味的生菜啊～
The first dish up was the salad. Unfortunately it was my least favourite - Caeasar salad. Thankfully there was not much sauce. I prefer my salad on its own. 
唐揚雞沒有很驚豔的表現，但也還不錯（因為有檸檬啊）
Japanese style fried chicken. Nothing special, but it tasted quite fine with the lemon sprinkled over it.
還有個鍋。
There was also hot pot! 
店員介紹說這個湯是不能喝的（因為很鹹）。其實還不錯。料也滿豐富的。兩個人吃差不多呢。
The waitress told us no to drink the soup, as it was really salty. The pot was quite nice. There were quite a lot of stuff in it. Just right for the two of us.
再來就是烤雞肉串。這倒是滿不錯的。我到現在還記得（也不知道經過多久了），表示真的還不錯。
And then there was skewer chicken, which was quite nice, as I remembered.
然後，老公知道我喜歡吃生魚片，又不敢吃太多，因此自己點了這份。分我兩片生魚片，剩下的自己吃。讓我可以解饞，卻又不會說罪惡感太重這樣～
Hubby knew how hard it was for me to hold my crave for sashimi. He ordered this for himself so he could give me a slice or two of the sashimi. It was nice to fulfill the crave, without feeling too guilty. 
其實沒有很驚艷，但來過幾次覺得都還不錯。想不到吃什麼的話，聚餐倒是個不錯的選擇。
It wasn't anything special, as said earlier. But each experience had been just fine. I suppose it would be a safe choice if you can't figure out what to eat!

然後看在天仙此時還可以隨意走動，體力腿力也還算okay，就趕緊安排在走幾步路抵達了著名的東區粉圓。這次吃完沒多久就看到漲價的新聞。然後也因為後來身體越來越笨重，還真的就再也沒去過了...
Then seeing that I still had enough stamina to go on, we took a stroll and soon arrived at the famous "Eastern Ice Store". Not long after our visit, the news reported that they raised the price. And also because I had less and less stamina as I approach the mid and late trimesters, this was our last visit since... 
雖然翻桌率高，不過人每次都很多。可以稍微等一等就會有位子。不過如果單獨一人來，就有點麻煩了。
The place is always crowded, so it might take a while to get seats. Though if you were alone, it might be a little challenge... 
如果太甜或不夠甜，都可以自己調整。
這裡的服務很"台北"。意思就是你要再點餐前就想好要什麼，不然店員會很著急，後面排隊的人大概也會翻白眼。所以中南部來的朋友應該會覺得很不習慣吧～
The self service hot water and sugar syrup are for those who feel they could adjust the taste a bit. 
The service here is quite 'Taipei'... Be forewarned! Please remember to decide what you want beforehand, or else the one to take your oder would feel quite impatient... so will the people lining up behind you.
雖然還不錯吃，不過漲價之後，天仙覺得他也沒值得那個價錢。所以也不會吵著要去吃。除非有外國友人來訪，帶他們來嘗鮮還可以，不過這價格若要跟其他店家比起來，真的有點高啊...
It's pretty good! However, it really isn't worth what it costs now. I guess unless friends come to visit from abroad, and they'd like to tastes some local dishes... I shouldn't want to come back.

這間其實是我們再次錯過慶城街海南雞飯的變調晚餐。不過這次我們已經有找到食記證實他們應該是例假日都公休，只是決定還是去賭一下。老公還在肖想著可以去Hooters看辣妹，不過我實在是沒興趣啊！！後來決定吃這間觀察了很久的百八魚場。
Our dinner here was actually before we finally got a chance to taste the hainan chicken at Chincheng Street [click to see old post]. Although this time, we did suspect that the chicken place was closed on all holidays, we still wanted to give it another shot. The other half had dreamed of the chance to go to Hooters, but I had absolutely no interest in it at all! So in the end, we decided to try this Japanese place. 
菜單上有提醒：生魚片丼飯若沒特別要求，一率為熟飯。懷著身孕的我，不敢這一整餐都吃生魚片，當然只好忍痛跳過！
The menu reminds you that the sashimi rice comes with cooked rice. If you want the sushi rice in your sashimi rice, you've got to ask for it. As it was not a good idea to eat too much raw fish during pregnancy, I had to give up the idea of having an entire meal of sashimi! 
只是一般到了這種店，有生魚片一定會點生魚片的我，這下子還真的不知道該點啥來吃了呢！
But then came the challenge! I'd always order sashimi dishes whenever I could... Now that I shouldn't... what should I order?

天仙極少介紹中研院附近的餐飲。其實這是因為中研院周邊真的是鳥不生蛋... 沒什麼好介紹的。不過這間小餐館卻是這鳥不生蛋的地方裡還算是頗有特色的地方。滿值得一提的！
這是一間清真餐館。所以雞牛魚都有，就是沒有豬。為了避免吃到前些日子鬧很大的餿水油，我想這間小餐館生意應該有變好喔～ XD
I seldom introduce restaurants around Academia Sinica. This is because there are very few restaurants here that are worth blogging about. This place, however, is one of the few places around campus that is actually quite worth mentioning. 
It is the only place around here that offers halal food. As the scandal of the tainted oil has everyone worried to death about eating out, you can be sure that none of that oil is used here - Muslims don't eat pork, so they won't use lard oil! 
菜單如上。
價格雖比便當貴了一些些，不過道都是挺特別的菜色。雖然住在這附近也好幾年有了，不過卻到最近才開始漸漸地變成熟客（我都快要搬走了說）。
The menu is as above - bilingual! 
It's slightly more expensive than a normal lunch box, but it's more of a western style place. I've been here for quite some years now, but only recently have I become a regular. 
某些餐點可選擇免費附贈的湯或紅茶。天仙當然是選擇湯囉！
這湯味道很清淡。玉米也很甜。不過如果當時天氣熱些，天仙會把它放到涼一點再喝。
Some of the meals come with either free soup or free tea. Of course, I'd pick the soup. 
It's a clear veggie soup. The corn tastes sweet. If we happen to pop in during a hot day, I'd wait for the soup to cool down a bit. 
約克夏紅茶 - 老公點的。我若要喝也只是淺嘗一口～
Yorkshire tea for the other half. I'd take a sip if I felt thirsty.
燉牛丸子義大利麵。
Beef ball spaghetti. 
牛肉丸子的味道挺特殊的。應該是有加特殊香料進去。
The beef ball tastes quite nice. I think it has special herbs in it.
這麵條也不錯。量是剛剛好。也有撒起司，所以趁熱攪拌，還會有點牽絲～
The noodles are slightly overcooked (the way Taiwanese people are used to). 
這是老公點的～ 
也是麵，只是主食是分開送上的。
This is another serving of pasta.
The main dish is served seperately.
香煎雞腿排。
因為都是現做得所以要等比較久。
Chicken leg - all dishes are cooked on the spot, so it may take a while. 
看似乾澀，但是吃起來一點都不柴。
Looks dry, but it tasted quite tender! 
為了滿足好奇心點來吃吃看得圓麵包～
I was curious about their bread, so we ordered a serving to try.
老闆娘還貼心地附上這個沾醬。
不過我們都覺得拿來沾麵剩下來的醬比較好吃耶（哈哈哈）
The shop owner kindly gave us a bowl of sauce as a dip, but we both preferred using the bread to clean up our pasta dishes. 
 
這應該算是舊莊一帶比較有特色也值得介紹的店家了！如果各位剛好有來中研院洽公，人數不多不想吃桌菜，這倒是個不錯的選擇喔！
I reckon this is probably the only place worth blogging in the vicinity. If you happen to be here during a business errand or what not, and you don't feel like having Chinese food for whatever reason, this might be a nice alternative!

這頓牛排餐其實不是要慶祝什麼。而是某天我路途遙遠地坐公車回來，在車上特地打電話請老公去公車站接我這個帶著球跑的孕婦，一起走回家。結果我下了公車原以為是自己早到了，不料慢慢地走回家，還很吃力地爬上了四樓，一開門就見老公竟然躺在床上給我睡覺！原本我也是不想這麼依賴老公的。只是那天晚了，體力差，只想要在回家路程上有人陪伴。老公見我如此生氣當然也是很不好受啦。知道自己貪睡錯過來站牌接我走回家的時機，於是隔天在我一問之下就說要請我吃牛排作為補償。於是就有了這一餐。
This meal was not to celebrate some kind of special day. But it was rather a compensation meal! One night, I came home from a long bus ride. While on the bus, I called my husband and asked that he meet me at the bus stop to walk me home. Since it was late at night, I had already used up my energy for the day, and all I was asking for was his company on the way. After I got off the bus, I thought I had arrived too early, as I did not see him. But then, as I walked all the way home, and up those four flights of stairs, the first thing I saw when I opened the door was my darling husband, DOZING OFF on the bed... Now under normal circumstances, I could tell myself to not be too clingy. But I was pregnant! And was well into late second trimester!! So, in short, I was furiuos! The next day, I asked him what he had thought of doing to make it up to me... hence, we were here for a steak feast! 
這是我們第二次來訪。第一次沒拍照當然也沒食記可寫。而且第一次來訪時我也還沒開始吃牛肉。這次來就我們夫妻倆，拍照也比較好拍。
This was not our first visit to the steakhouse. I didn't take any photos during our first visit, so obviously, there had been no article posted. This time, there were just the two of us, so nothing could stop me from taking pictures of the meal! 
菜單上寫著推薦餐點。
The menu lists the recommended meals. 
也有兩人分享餐可選擇。
There was also a page of recommendation for a feast for two.
不然也可以選擇溫馨小套餐～
Otherwise, you can also pick from these lovely sets.
等候時見桌上還有打卡優惠。不過要上傳當然是要等餐點上了才一起打卡上傳！
There was also a sticker on the table that tells you if you check-in on Facebook, you'd get a complimentary plate of braised beef tendons. Well, the check-in can wait till the meal arrived! 
餐具都放桌上，用餐巾紙蓋著也不怕生灰塵。
The utensils were on the table, covered by napkins to avoid dust and what not.
沙拉吧。平價牛排的沙拉吧也沒啥好說的，就一般般囉！
The salad bar was nothing special. Keep in mind, it was an economic steakhouse, so don't expect anything fancy! 
不過湯倒是有兩種可選擇，還算有誠意。
There were two kinds of soups to choose from, which was quite nice! 
飲料的選擇也頗多。
Also a variety of drinks to choose from. 
就連麵包也有兩款任君挑選。
There are even two types of bread to choose from. 
不過這可得自己去烤喔！
But the toasting is self-serviced.
不算難吃，但我看這麵包上塗的，也不知道那醬有沒有問題。所以只敢吃一片。（至少我還賞臉吃了一片啊）
With the scandal of the tainted oil, I could not help but wonder whether the spread on the bread had problems. So I had only a few bites. 
羅宋湯 So-called 'Russian soup'
玉米湯 Corn chowder
湯的味道以這個價位還算不錯。料也挺實在的。不至於撈半天撈不到料。
Amazingly enough, there were ample ingredients found in the soup. 
老公取的沙拉。 
Salad bowl made by my other half.
重頭戲來了！
這是我點的小公牛莎朗。配上我愛的捲捲麵～
Then came the main course! 
My sirloin with fusilli. 
以及老公點的雞牛雙拼搭配義大利麵～
And steak + chicken and speghetti. 
以平價牛排來說，烤成這樣算是不錯的了！而且沒有許多人害怕的血水。鮮嫩好滋味！
For the cost of the steak, I thought they did a fine job with the steak. If you like it medium or medium-rare, I think that would give you the best taste. 
而且排餐上桌時並不會淋上醬汁。所以想吃原味的就撒點胡椒粉跟玫瑰鹽。
天仙拿了這些醬，是要拿來拌麵用的～
Unlike most night-market style steaks, they don't come drenched in heavy tasting sauce. So you might as well enjoy the steak with a sprinkle of pepper and rose salt. 
As for these sauces, they were for the pasta!
