lao jio sour hotpot.

sour cabbage hotpot at “lao jio.”

this place has been packed the few times that i’ve gone.. we needed to book ahead several days in advance- and weekends were pretty much full.

the veggies are homemade “sour preserved”  like kimchee, i think) and is on the heavier flavor/salty side. perfect for my american taste buds.

i like how the accoutrements for making sauces are placed by each table- no getting up from your table to refill. ( i can use up to 3 bowls of sauce.. )

the pot base.. comes with veggies, tofu and some pork.

frozen tofu. my fave.

orders of beef sirlion and short rib. clean + well plated.

we also had clams, enoki mushrooms and chrysanthemum greens.

the pot below has their handmade sichuan meatballs. another must try here. soft + flavorful.

yum yum.

yuzu japanese kitchen. taipei.

dined at yuzu last week with some friends.

we had a rather late dinner and spent most of our time chatting and catching up, so we ordered light.. therefore i don’t have many pictures to post.

the food was very well thought out, and the presentation was clean + modern.

fresh veggie crudite with a crab butter “fondue.” original + a good blend of cuisines. love trying new dishes.

handmade tofu. delish.

clear tomato soup with a yuzu broth. grilled baby corn on the side. light, fresh + healthy.

freshly shaved truffle chawanmushi with scallop. smooth and fragrant.

thats all for now, but i will be returning very soon to try more dishes.

keep tuned..
