Starter

Ping Pong

Soft purple yam shell with sticky rice cake filling topped with Parmesan cheese, quite chewy to bite into, light in flavour though dense in texture. Really interesting combination thus it became one of the most popular dishes in the restaurant.

Crispy Pork Knuckle

Asia inspired cooked pork sitting on a round crispy toast. The pork was marinated with housemade soy sauce, forming almost jelly-like from its collagen and sauce, reminded us a lot from the Chinese traditional cooking style.

Chicken Waffle

Taiwanese style salty crispy chicken marinated in five-spice, garlic, ginger and sweet basil, along with homemade crispy and fluffy waffle, pineapple chutney and balsamic maple syrup. The chicken tasted really authentic and the saltiness could really balance well with the sour fruity chutney sitting in between. We are missing Taiwan already!

Hot Bites

Left: House Calamari - fresh calamari which was soft and tearable, it was seasoned nicely with the fried garlic and chili

Centre: Sweet & Sour Fish - crispy and sticky on the outside, a classic dish to enjoy with some pine nuts on top, we commend you to have this the last among three hot bites because of its overpowering taste to other two

Right: Pork Belly & Puree - super tender and soft, while super flavourful after being braised for a long time, sitting on a bed of mayo blended puree

Main Course

Pork Belly Risotto

Highlight, the restaurant uses a hint of Chinese fermented tofu (Chinese cheese) to cook this risotto, the taste of the Chinese cheese was very subtle so do not worry much.

The creamy al dente rice was cooked just perfectly. This small pot of goodness went even better with the crispy crunchy deep fried pork jelly on top.

Dessert

Creme Brulee

Honestly, we have had a few other creme brulee from other restaurants after this one at Check-in Taipei but this one is by far one of the best creme brulees we have had interm of its taste and crispiness

The sugar sheet on top was crispy and thin enough to be cracked. The creme brulee was creamy with egg flavour.

101 Fireworks

A flaming strong drink made from high mountain tea liqueur, absinth, high mountain tea, blue curacao, orange juice. You may share with your friends and you may drink the tea from the bigger glass afterward. (Pineapple is meant to be eaten also!)

An Ping Tofu

A bowl of homemade tofu topped with red bean, peanut, sitting in soy bean milk and baileys cream. There is also a small glass of mixed high mountain tea liqueur and pouchong tea. Again, the best way to enjoy this drink is to take a bite of the soft silky tofu, then take a sip of strong tea.
