台北溫泉區的私房菜

享受人生有很多方式,台北溫泉之旅加私房菜如何?北投區現在發展得很好,有古蹟、博物館、溫泉,新北投捷運直達,即可以花一整天在這區泡溫泉、參觀各景點、古蹟,還可以訂一個私房菜,靜靜品嚐創意手工料理。

「阿嬌的店」位於北投捷運站步行兩分鐘的舊商業住宅大廈的一個小單位,提供中式手工菜。「手工菜」就是很花心思時間做的菜色,大部份的菜色都用上幾小時烹調而成的,主打新鮮食材及不油不膩,同一樣的菜色,煮法及食材不同就有很大的分別。跟其他私房菜一樣,都是無菜單,但有些經典菜色及沒有受季節影響的都會吃得到。價錢由每人1,000 至 1,500 台幣左右。你可以定你的預算,但也會因應食材而調整。

醒目旅遊貼士:確定行程就最好先預約。臨時改期或取消都會對老闆造成損失,因為所有菜色都很花時間預先安排。上次我訂了兩位午餐,因為是週日,午餐就只有我們兩個客人,包場!你看看我的午餐就可以想像為了兩位客人要花的準備功夫及食材是花了多少心思和時間。請做一個為他人著想的遊客。

Each customer is served with a special Chinese tea that meant to be appropriate for the season. 每位客人進來都會先喝一杯養生茶,我這天喝的是「清草養肝茶」。
秘製的滷水汁
The Taiwanese braised soy sauce eggs are braised by a secret recipe and took six hours to cook. 台灣到處都有滷蛋,這看似簡單的小吃,「阿嬌的店」是用秘製滷水汁,花六個小時煮出來的。這個滷蛋完全不硬!

The salted mullet roe with apple was the second appetizer on the side of the cucumber salad. The mix of salted fish roe and the fresh sweet taste of an apple is very creative and taste good! I give it a like. 烏魚子和蘋果是涼拌青瓜旁的另一種吃法。當然主角是烏魚子。帶鹹味的烏魚子夾清甜的蘋果一起吃,有創意,還好好味!一讚!

Quality is key to good food. The “no menu” business model gives the owner the flexibility to choose the best food available in the market of the day. This is a steamed fresh squid. The highlight is the black bean soy sauce dip. 「阿嬌的店」堅持食材要新鮮,每天要到市場買最好的食材,這「脆卷」是蒸魷魚,重點是配黑豆醬油,五味醬,突出鮮味。

Marlin thick soup. The owner said that you are lucky to have this because blue marlin is only available in the winter and it’s rare. There were big chunks of fish meat in the soup. Delicious! To me, it’s lucky to be able to eat, not to mention good food. 髮菜旗魚羹:老闆說是福氣菜,有福氣才能嚐到的,因為白旗魚冬天才有,百中選一。羹內有大大塊的旗魚肉,味道一流。我覺得可以溫飽就己經是福氣!

The dessert was a sweet soup with grass jelly, osmanthus flowers and basil seeds. Every body has a separate stomach for dessert, right? Of course it is home-made and taste good! 甜點是仙草桂花山粉圓湯,有另一個胃放甜品嗎?口說飽還是會吃,這是老闆花功夫做的甜品,不太甜,清涼好味。

After lunch, the owner asked me: “would you like to walk or take the elevator?”. I don’t understand. It’s on the 4th floor so I suppose we could walk. Well, this patio connects to the back alley that leads to the main road. That’s why. Interesting. 吃完午餐,老闆問我要走路還是搭電梯。我想:這是四樓,是可以走樓梯的。結果,他指的是這個有盆栽的露台原來是後門,可以走到大廈後巷,再往下走到大路。真特別,前門進來,後門走。
