Cheng Zu’s pepper buns \u4e1e\u7956\u80e1\u6912\u9905<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I usually can never get enough of a good pepper bun, especially red hot out of the ‘oven’. Essentially what is a traditional tandoor is where these delicious pepper buns are baked at a ridiculously high temperature until they become crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had previously tried the ones just round the corner<\/a> and I had always thought they were pretty goot, albeit somewhat hit and miss (sometimes they’ve been waiting out of the oven a little too long and lost the freshness\/heat). However, this place<\/a> is going to become my go-to in the area, now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I find it quite difficult to make this look any nicer than this, but trust me when I say it’s spot-on. The meat is fresh and punches flavour combined with lots of (I apologise in advance) meat juices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I’ve been on a bit of a \u9eb5\u7dda binge recently<\/a>, essentially getting my fill in a bunch of places. Most recently I checked out \u9762\u7dda\u753a<\/a>, so keep your eyes peeled for another post coming up soon. Anyway, back to it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, at $40 for a large bowl and $30 for a small bowl, you’re getting solid value for money. But, is it good? Well, for the area, yes. But, if you’re wiling to travel a bit further afield, you’ll get significantly better elsewhere…<\/a>
Expect to be greeted by some intestines and some jellied pigs blood in your bowl, as well as copious amounts of garlic and soy sauce flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasted King Oyster Mushrooms

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shroooooooms. Mushrooms are a staple of my diet. I love me some fungus. If I decided that vegetarianism was a thing for me, then this king oyster mushroom would be my meat substitute, for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They’ve got some interested toppings here. But, please be aware, the sauce they used is the same regardless of what topping you order, then the topping will just be sprinkled on at the end. So don’t expect the cumin to be a cumin rub on the mushrooms and then roasted. Expect sprinkled cumin over the top at the end…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We went for pepper and lemon mixed flavours. I think from this point on I will always used lemon juice on my king oyster mushrooms. It was a pure revelation for me! The pepper was good, but the lemon was so much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re still hungry after that and cold noodles are your thing – then have a think about this place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember being amazed by this place previously, when I had first arrived in TW. However, I haven’t been back in the 7 years post that moment. So, here I went once more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I asked for no spice (wasn’t in the mood for it) but the dish still arrived spicy. Fair play to them, they hadn’t given me any chilli in the dish. So, why was it spicy? The spoonful(s) of raw garlic they had splashed on. I hate raw garlic. Next time I go I will order it with no garlic to check out if it hits the spot or not, but this time it most definitely did not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
