[TAIPEI - Baan Restaurant Taipei ‘Thai Family Recipe’ 🤐]
又是另一間剛開不久的餐廳。已聽到好幾個可靠的評語及建議不用去試，但朋友生日聚餐辦在這𥚃不得不來，果然是對的。
我們十幾人訂了包廂，所以把菜單上全部的菜幾乎都吃了一遍。這裡標榜泰國家庭食譜。雖然我去過泰國幾十次也試過不少家庭式或標榜泰國食譜餐廳，但可能還算不夠多， 因為我覺得這𥚃的菜除了每一道都很咸以外其他都跟一般泰國餐差不多，沒什麼特別，我們全部人都不停地叫白飯來配才能繼續吃。如果泰國的家庭都是這口味相信不少當地人的腎都要常常檢查。
我們有帶香檳紅白酒也付足開瓶費，但提供的酒杯很小和一般。而從頭到尾餐廳都好像人手不足，上菜換盤子都而顯忙不過來所以差不多都是我們自己動手拿碗倒水，再叫他們倒酒換酒杯已好像要求多了而且要等很久，所以為了不想常常空箸杯子幾乎開酒倒酒都是我們自己處理，我們也懶得不停提出換杯，一杯到尾算了。
視乎提供不同程度的專業配套和服務，收不同價錢的開瓶費是應該和合理的。但明顯餐廳在這方面的配套和服務沒有到位而收足開瓶費，這是不合理不同意的地方。
也值得一提的是這裡裝潢有像泰國新派餐廳元素，但桌面用雲石配很輕，像塑膠原料的環保碗盤感覺怪怪的。我不是專家但在坐的名設計師朋友也感不解。
這裡的菜是家庭式但價錢走中高檔路線，而且要有分兩個時段用餐。收費在台灣泰菜來説是貴，應該是籍箸老闆是台灣和泰國西餐米其林名氣廚師的關係所致。用餐的普遍都是年輕人，也應該都是衝箸米其林的名氣而來吧。
隠若已看到這家餐廳是要開分店, 連鎖吸錢的方程式。
Another recently opened restaurant. Already received several reliable comments and recommendations that there’s no need to try, but since it’s friends’ birthday celebration dinner, it’s no choice but to try once.
We had 15 people in the private room and we pretty much tried all dishes on menu. The selling point of this restaurant is the use of family recipe. I have already visited Thailand many times and tried many family restaurants or restaurant using family recipe as selling point, but perhaps it’s still not enough as I find the dishes of this restaurant is nothing different from standard Thai restaurant except all dishes are quite salty and we had to continuously ordering rice to tone down the saltiness. I wonder if this is the common flavour for usual Thai families’, otherwise I’d believe many locals do require to have kidney checkup regularly.
We brought champagne, white and red wines and fully paid corkage. The glasses provided were relatively small and standard. It seems that they are short of staffs and we almost had to help ourselves with changing plates and to add water, not to mention asking them to pour wines and change glasses seemed like it’s too demanding and needed to wait for a long time. So in order not to have empty glasses all the time, we were basically helping ourselves with opening bottles and pouring all the wines, and we gave up asking to change glasses and used only one glass all the way.
Charging corkage is absolutely fair if professional facilitation and service can be provided, with higher corkage fee for higher standard. For restaurants that don’t have the capacity to provide the required facilitation and service yet corkage are charged, this is unreasonable and unacceptable.
One thing also worth mentioning is the decoration of the restaurant is of modern Thai style restaurant. But the matching of marble table with very light weighted plastic like recycled material tableware seem odd. I’m no expert here but a famous interior designer friend there also didn’t understand the reason behind of the combination.
Restaurant is supposed to be family style but pricing is mid to high range, and have two servings in the evening. Reason for being one of the most expensive Thai restaurant in Taipei is probably because the owners are Michelin star western restaurants’ chefs in Taipei and Bangkok. Customers are mainly quite young and likely they come due to the fame of Michelin.
Already vaguely tell this kind of restaurants is of the standard formula of opening branches / franchise model as cash generator.

每次經過這間工業風設計的個性咖啡館都會被店內傳來的陣陣咖啡香吸引進去，但「TOFF CAFE」不只有咖啡利害，今天我挑選了最愛的三款美食給大家參考，可說是第一次來的必試清單喔！
.
🍴推薦美食
⭐️ 「樽樽湯麵」—這樽湯麵真是吃不膩，因為由麵、配料到湯底都能自由組合，只要點選跟上次不一樣的配料或湯底，都有不一樣的味覺體驗。
⭐️ 「熱泡五谷藜麥雜糧」—健康高纖的藜麥泡飯選擇也不少，我的這碗是黃牛扒配自家醃製日本糖心蛋，值一提的是鮮甜椰青雞湯每日新鮮熬製，絕無味精。
⭐️「焦糖窩夫」—蜂巢形狀的窩夫在澳門非常少見，每個小洞剛好能沾上適量的雪糕和地瓜醬，而窩夫口感外脆內煙韌，太好吃了！
.
邊喝著暖胃的「黑糖土薑咖啡」，邊和室內設計兼餐廳老闆聊天，才發現他對美食和設計一樣，都有一份要求與執着，每處細節都力求完美，這樣有原則的老闆現在已買少見少了。
#澳門美食之都 🇲🇴

The great scent of coffee from this little café always attracts me to pay a visit when I walk by. “TOFF Café” has great coffee but it also provides many other delicious food items. The three items below are in the “must try” list
.
Recommendations:
⭐️Noodles Bottles – You never get tired of the taste of this bottle of noodles. You can pick your own combination of soup, noodles and toppings, so you can create your own unique taste every time!
⭐️Five grains Rice Soup – There are a few healthy and high fiber options. I added the homemade beef steak and half cooked egg. Their coconut chicken soup is freshly prepared daily. MSG free!
⭐️Caramel Waffles – Beehive shaped waffles are not that common in Macau. The ice-cream and sweet potato sauce can spread evenly on the waffle. Great texture and great taste!

I was chatting with the owner while enjoy this brown sugar ginger coffee. I happened to learn that she is also an interior designer. She has the same attitude towards food and design. She loves focusing on the details and presentation. I truly appreciate her principles and believes J
