il Giardino Romantico

懷孕後期總算能體會大家所說的「懷孕真辛苦」。有時候周末在家，連吃飯這種簡單的事情，一想到要四層樓要爬上爬下的真的都懶了。不過這天與老公已起午睡起來，竟然就差不多到晚餐時間了。雖說吃重口味的容易水腫，但這天就突然好想吃鐵板燒。一方面是想多吃一點肉，讓肚子裡的北鼻多長點肉，另一方面是也實在想不到要吃啥好。因為肚子現在變得好大顆，坐機車也不方便，所幸就跟老公決定要開車去汐止，不進市區去，想說汐止車位可能還比較好找。

繞了一會兒，只看到大浦。但大浦又在馬路邊，停車不好停。所以又多繞了一會兒。後來總算是看到了這間圓多立。我們瞧著店門口等候的人頗多的，覺得應該不難吃才對！老公把車子停在附近的停車場後我們便慢慢地散步過去。大概是剛睡醒沒多久，覺得雙腿實在很無力。有時候遇到這種情形還真的會擔心我要怎麼撐到北鼻出生啊！不過還好，真的是因為剛睡醒。因為隔天我又是活龍一條了！

As I enter the final trimester, I started to realise why everyone thought pregnancy was tough. During the weekend, when we had nothing planned, even the simplest idea of climbing up and down four flights of stairs just to get a meal frightened me! On this occassion, my hubby and I woke up from a nap in the afternoon only to find that it was already getting dark. Although I try to avoid food with strong flavours to avoid swelling, I really wanted to have tepanyaki somehow. I wanted to have some beef so the baby could grow bigger, and it was also because I really couldn't think of anything else I wanted to eat. As the baby grew bigger, it was more difficult to ride on the back of the scooter, so we decided to drive to Xizhi, instead of heading into downtown. We thought that parking would be slightly easier. 

After a while, all we saw was the chain store 大埔 (Dapu). It was just beside the main street, so we decided to look further, since it was difficult to park. Then, we finally found this place - 圓多立 (Yuan duo li). We saw that there was a crowd in front of the place, waiting their turn, and thought that it was probably pretty good. We found a parking lot nearby and slowly walked back to the restaurant. I think it was because I had just woken up that caused my limbs to feel quite weak. At times like this, I would often wonder how I'd get through to the day the baby arrived! Thankfully, I think it really was because I had just woken up!  



雖說要等候，但其實也沒有等太久。鐵板燒就這樣吃，哪能給你吃多久。而且還有位子讓你坐著等，所以也不至於太虐待孕婦。等候的時候剛好看到牆上的公告。原來是老店了。好像號稱是汐止第一間鐵板燒呢！

Even though we had to wait, it wasn't a long wait. After all, how long would it take you to finish a tepanyaki meal? There were benches, so it was nice to have a place to sit while we waited. During the wait, we saw a poster on the wall, briefly stating the history of the restaurant. Seemed to have survived quite a while. Apparently, it was the first tepanyaki place in the neighbourhood. 



想吃肉又必須要吃青菜，鐵板燒真的是一個好選擇。

Tepanyaki would be a great choice if you want both meat and veggies in a single meal. 



天仙沒有很討厭豆芽，但也沒有很愛。有時候會想吃，有時候又不太想吃。整個都是看心情。

在我們面前料理的師傅看起來是前輩級的。如果不是老闆本身，鐵定也是元老級的人物了。邊幫我們料理，也一邊關心我肚子裡的孩子。小聊了一下。

I have quite mixed feelings towards sprouts. I don't like them, but I don't hate them either. It all depends on my mood, really.

The cook that prepared our food seemed to be an old employee (or maybe the owner!). He chatted a bit with us while preparing our meal. 





這天我們點了兩道都是牛肉。一個菲力一個莎朗（不過我有點忘了哪一個是哪一個 XD）。

We ordered two sets, both beef - one fillet and the other sirloin. I can't tell which pic is which though! 





我瞧他們拿出來的是一整片的牛肉。料理時才切塊。不像之前在某美食廣場吃的，雖說是牛排，但拿出來的食材卻已經是切塊切好的。不僅令人懷疑是不是有用某種方式處理過。而圓多立的牛肉，吃起來就很正常。雖說鐵板燒的醬汁屬重口味，但還是不難吃出牛肉本身的味道。可惜的是這支手機拍特寫的功能並不強，對焦對好久還是對不好。想要拍景深效果的話，還是等我卸了貨再次可以用單眼亂拍時再來拍好了！

I saw with my own eyes that the meat they took out to cook was an entire chunk, and not pre-sliced. We had tepanyaki elsewhere before, and the meat was suspiciously treated with god-knows-what. The beef here, however, tasted like untreated beef. Despite the strong taste of the sauce, you can still tell that the beef tasted like beef! Pity, though, that the depth of field function doesn't work that well on my phone camera. Tried a dozen times, and still can't figure out how to get it right. I guess I'll have to wait till the baby arrives, then I can freely use my DSLR again to take the pictures I really want to take! 



另外加點了一份九層塔蛋。

An addtional basil fried egg that we ordered.



北鼻長肉餐，就在我們誤打誤撞之下找到了這間美味又用心的鐵板燒。真是不錯！

It was a good meal! Sometimes it takes an adventurous heart to find new, worthwhile restaurants. This time, it was a success!

天仙念：原本還想拍飲料跟湯的自助區，不過人來人往的，孕婦實在不敢冒險被撞。所以就作罷了～
