[記食] 大稻埕老宅咖啡廳 AKA Cafe

├01台中港, ├03台北| 大同、中山, ├100元以上吃巧, ├12老房子老東西, ╠06中山站

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

├01台中港, ├03台北| 大同、中山, ├07咖啡輕食, ├12老房子老東西, ├250元以上吃飽, ╠06中山站

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.

A few months ago, while planning my Tomb Sweeping holiday, I considered buying a ticket to Japan—wherever was cheapest. But ultimately, I stayed in Taipei. My thoughts turned to Dadaocheng, where I imagined finding a hidden guesthouse for a night or two, sampling everyday delicacies not commonly in my diet, or perhaps… a breakfast worthy of a state banquet.

[記食] 青樓中式餐酒館

├01台中港, ├04台北| 內湖、松山（民生社區）、南港, ├12老房子老東西, ├250元以上吃飽, ╠01松山站

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。

Ching Lou: A Culinary Journey Through Elegant Chinese Cuisine in Taipei

├01台中港, ├04台北| 內湖、松山（民生社區）、南港, ├12老房子老東西, ├250元以上吃飽, ╠01松山站

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.
