il Giardino Romantico

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.

天仙念：吃完這樣的大餐之後又走了一下，到了國父紀念館才甘願上車。懷孕後期很懷念這樣的體力跟腿力呢！！
