il Giardino Romantico

This is the new Chinese restaurant on Academia Sinica campus. Reviews of the old restaurant can be seen here and here. The contract they signed ended around the end of September. Many of us were very distraught by this, as we thought they offered very decent food. Fortunately, they moved to somewhere else close by. But since this new place started, we thought we might as well try it out. Even though I had been quite disappointed with the lunch boxes they sold, the restaurant might be another story. Well... 

這是中研院新的中餐廳。約今年九月底的時候原本的餐廳合約到期。聽到此消息很多同事與我都非常的失落。因為原本的餐廳還不錯！還好他們只是搬到附近的其他地方去營業。但既然新的餐廳開了，沒有理由不去試試看。因此同事們相約到此聚餐。雖然對他們出的便當感到極度失望，但心裡抱持著：餐廳可能不一樣的心態去嘗試... 結果... 


Cold dish chicken. 金蔥油雞

We ordered a set meal for 6-8 people. When this first dish arrived, we were astounded by how little the portion was! 

我們點了六到八人的套餐。結果當這第一道菜上桌時我整個傻眼！怎麼才這麼一點！？


Steamed cod. 清蒸鱈魚

Three petty slices of cod... How ridiculous! My colleague scooped a bit for me. When I was ready for a second helping, there was almost none left! 

三片這麼小片的鱈魚就叫做清蒸鱈魚。我同事幫我夾了點，但當我想要再夾一點的時候，已經快沒了！


Pork ribs. 排骨

Apparently this was a bit too fatty. No one wanted to take the last portion... 

聽說是因為太肥了。剩最後一塊的時候，根本沒人想要夾他... 


Shrimps. 蝦子

Personally, this was the only dish that was satisfactory. It was very tasty, and there had been plenty to go around. 

我個人覺得這是這餐唯一還過得去的一到菜。味道很不錯，而且分量也夠！


Crab and tofu. 蟹粉豆腐

Nothing special. 沒啥特別的... 



Veggies. 蔬菜... 

Very dull-looking dish... At least add some clams to it, mate! 

很單調的一到菜。何不加點蛤蠣呢！？


Soup. 湯

There was pork in this, so I passed on this.

這也有豬肉，我就沒碰了... 



Dessert. 甜點

It looked okay, but the fact was that even if it actually tasted okay, we'd all been feeling way too disappointed by the whole meal to enjoy it. 

看起來還算可以啦！不過因為前面已經太過失望了，所以即使他是好吃的，我們也沒啥心情享受了。


Fruit. 飯後水果... 

You can tell that some of these cherry tomatoes were going bad already! 

不知道你們有沒有看的出來，有些番茄早就已經爛掉了捏！

The worst thing of this whole meal, was the fact that no one was full. I myself became hungry again by three in the afternoon, just a couple of hours after the meal! 

最糟糕的是吃完這餐沒有人覺得"飽"。我自己可是到了下午三點（約兩小時後）就肚子又餓了！

 

I think the most normal thing was the beer... 

這餐最正常的應該就屬麥茶了吧！

天仙念：完了！第一次把食記寫成這樣，我會不會被告啊？不過老實說，我是真的挺希望他們能夠改進的！如果有改進，我願意再去吃一次，並且在寫一篇正面的嘉獎他們！畢竟在這裡工作，沒有人會希望院內餐廳是不好吃的呀...
