[記食] 大稻埕老宅咖啡廳 AKA Cafe
幾個月前，我開始安排清明連假的去處，也曾想過買一張日本機票，哪兒票價最便宜我就去哪，但最終作罷，還是回到島內，留在台北。我想到大稻埕，想找一間隱身在這兒的民宿蝸居一、兩宿，吃一點平日不那麼常吃到的庶民美食，或者…國宴級早午餐。
AKA Cafe 一直存在我的地圖裡。我向來喜歡老房子，尤其木作及磨石子，它們經過歲月的洗禮後總能透露出溫潤的光澤。於是我上網預訂了最早一席的早午餐，盤算著這麼早來想必沒什麼客人。

[Food] A Morning at AKA Cafe in Dadaocheng
Some places exist so close to us physically, yet remain emotionally distant. For me, Dadaocheng has always been such a place—frequently visited, yet somehow unfamiliar.

除了每人分攤下來價位偏高之外，兩次吃下來對於料理的滿意度算是非常高的。未來可以列入好友聚餐的候選餐廳，若要招待外國友人，其實也是很不錯的選擇。聽聞青樓的二樓裝潢更是精緻，相當程度地復刻了中國古代大戶人家的擺設，下次若有機會再去，肯定是要上樓一睹風采的。

Despite the relatively high cost per person, both dining experiences were highly satisfying. Ching Lou deserves consideration for future gatherings with friends and is an excellent choice for entertaining international guests. I’ve heard that the second floor features even more exquisite decor, faithfully recreating the settings of ancient Chinese affluent households. On my next visit, I’ll certainly venture upstairs to appreciate this ambiance.

說是水餃，其實是巨大的水晶餃。乾式水餃吃起來有一點像是肉圓，但是是油炸肉圓的外表卻是用水蒸的方式來料理。水餃內餡包著碎肉末跟筍子丁，味道儘管清淡爽口，然而它們無法搶走那Ｑ彈外皮的風采！我只能配著西螺醬油膏跟辣椒醬，專心咀嚼，盡情享受這邪惡的精緻澱粉與齒舌的互動。
