什麼樣的滋味會讓人想起家，吃到遠近馳名的《黑殿排骨》當下，我真的想起了家。
“Fried PorkChop With Rice” is a very basic and traditional choice of bento menu in Taiwan. The pronunciation of Mandarin is “pai gu fan”. If you come to Taiwan, you can’t miss this classic food. And today I want to recommend all of you a super famous restaurant of “pai gu fan” in North Taiwan. The restaurant name is “DARK PALACE TAIWANESE GOURMET”. The restaurant pronunciation of Mandarin is “hei dian pai gu”. It located in Danshui of New Taipei City. (* Danshui=Tamsui=Tamshui are the same place, different translation only.)
一間座落偏僻巷子內的便當小店，早在不知多少年前已成了遠近馳名的飯店，對於要前往或結束漁人碼頭行程的各式旅人，必經的路徑讓人享有中途短暫休憩再啟程的力量。
You may find the same 2 restaurants in Danshui. One is near the MRT: Tamsui Station, about 5 mins walk, a new branch. And the origination is located in a little bit remote place; about 2.4 km need take around 30 mins walk or 10 mins bus time from Tamsui MRT station. But if you want to go to “Fisherman’s Wharf” for sightseeing, this restaurant is just on your way; I highly recommend all of you can go to this restaurant to have a lunch or dinner.
店門口就有很大的menu，清楚標示價格，讓到訪的人可以很安心的消費，可借的是沒有英文menu還有圖片索引，外國旅人點餐會比較麻煩一點。
They have English restaurant name so it’s easy to find it. And all prices are clear showed on the menu. I like it because you don’t worry the local person will charge high price for foreigners. (I have this kind of bad experiences in other countries… so poor). So here only one thing is inconvenient for you: NO ENGLISH SERVICE. So I will give you clear instruction about traffic way, how to order, Mandarin pronunciation for each cuisine… etc.
And you can also find English version menu as following which I special made for foreigner reference.
No English service but I suggest you need to go, so exciting, right? Trust me; one of the joys of travel is the adventure. : )
華麗的門面卻內藏著傳統擺設，媽咪級的服務人員有著濃濃人情味
The restaurant has traditional Chinese design. I think maybe those waiters can’t have good English communication with you but they are so friendly. (English version menu as above picture.)
Menu背面還有冷熱飲品區，不論是溼冷的冬天或是酷熱的夏天，都會有適合你的選擇。
點餐步驟：
先找到位置 -- > 自己從牆上找到菜單並填妥 -- > 排隊點餐結帳 -- > 將結帳後的單子放在桌上 -- > 等著上菜
This restaurant also has many hot / cold beverages choose, on the back side of menu. (English version menu as above picture.)
Please follow the steps as below for ordering, it’s very easy to do:
Find your table -- > Menu is put into basket hang on wall -- > Write the table number on the menu -- > Choose the one you like and tick on the menu -- > Wait in line at the check-out counter -- > Waiter will double check with you about your order items and table number (*if you have no idea how to tick on the menu, you can show my blog pictures to them at this moment.) -- > Pay in advance (*you can see the total price showed in front of the screen) -- > You will get one order list like following picture -- > Put the list on the table -- > Wait dish up
將這張紙放在桌上，是為了方便送餐人員確認餐點內容。
This is the order list; you need to put it on the table. It can help waitress deliver right items for each table.
雖然他是飯店卻不收服務費，一碗大碗排骨飯會給一片完整+1/3片排骨，並配有酸菜、炒豆乾和滷蛋，排骨厚實卻不乾柴，這種簡單的美味只有親自來嘗嘗才能體驗箇中滋味。
“Fried PorkChop With Rice” is the most famous item in this restaurant, NT$130 for large-sized, around 4.3 USD. The Mandarin pronunciation is “pai gu fan”. If you want to have large-sized bowl of rice, you can say “dai wan pai gu fan”, dai wan means large-sized. If you want to have small-sized bowl of rice, you can say “shiau wan pai gu fa”, shiau wan means small-sized.
The entree of large-sized is one full and extra 1/3 piece pork chop. The standard sides are egg, pickled cabbage and stir-fry dried tofu over the hot rice. The thick pork chop absorbs the special and secret sauce. It’s a simple cuisine but taste good.
No service charge and you don’t need to leave a tip.
真心的說我最喜歡這種厚實的排骨了，記得小時候媽媽都會買好排骨，調好醬汁醃料冰在冰箱，忙碌張羅開飯前隨意下鍋煎至金黃，厚實入味的排骨永遠都會是我飯碗當天的最佳主角。
I really like this kind of fried pork chop with no thick flour. It’s a wonderful taste memory of my childhood because my mom always cooked with the same way.
我常常在便當店尋覓這種沒有裹上厚粉的札實排骨，但不容易找到。所以吃到當下真的覺得很幸福，因為它的味道和排骨的厚度，好貼近我兒時的回憶。家的味道其實就是媽媽手藝的味道，那是一種有溫度吃了會讓人幸福的味道。
In Taiwan, there are many different kind of cooking style of pork chop. But in those bento shops, it’s not easy to find thick meat with no thick flour.
我加點的”黃金溏心蛋” (NT$35, around 1.2 USD)
呈現蛋黃溼潤卻不會流下來的完美狀態
This is “Soft-boiled Golden Egg”, around 1.2 USD for one order. The mandarin pronunciation is “huang jin tang shin dan”. You can feel the yolk very rich; it can smoothly through your throat. Taste good, recommendation.
但一份只有一顆，要價35元其實價格不便宜。
This egg price is a little bit higher than average. But it’s not easy to find in night market so you can taste it with this good opportunity. One more thing, it’s a cold dish, suitable for every seasons.
祖傳大滷北方拉麵 (NT$110, around 3.7 USD)，我們也真心覺得好好吃，說不上來是什麼調味但吃到嘴裡會飄散一股很香的味道，真的是家常樸實好滋味。
This one is “braised soup noodles”, NT$110 for small-sized, around 3.7 USD. The mandarin pronunciation is “da lu mian”. If you want to have large-sized bowl, you can say “dai wan da lu mian”, dai wan means large-sized. If you want to have small-sized bowl, you can say “shiau wan da lu mian”, shiau wan means small-sized.
This is a briny soup noodles, cooked into a cornstarch-heavy broth with fragments of egg, wood ear, carrot and pork. In Taiwan, it’s very popular and classic type of soup noodles. I really love this soup because there will be fragrance spread over your tongue, taste so good.
大滷麵裡的滑嫩肉條，也是完全符合我對於羹湯肉條的要求，不能裹厚粉、不喜歡打成肉漿、咬下必須可以感受到肉絲紋理的口感。
The slippery flour pasta and pork will swim in your mouth. It is yum and good hot soup, especially keeping warm in cold weather. Enjoy it.
