Baby's getting big enough to sit in a high chair by himself now. But let's not test that at a fancy restaurant yet. Auntie recommended this unassuming little family restaurant in Xindian. Packed with local families, they efficiently served up a tasty selection of homey dishes.
A big hot-pot is always a good way to feed a table-ful of people on a winter day. They lightly fry the fish head before putting it into the hot-pot to remove the fishy smell. Love the spicy-garlic eggplant 魚香茄子. The photo shows exactly how you're suppose to do it, with a *lot* of oil to infuse the flavors from the garlic and green onions, then cook down the eggplants to a silky softness while maintaining the purple color in the skin. It all goes great with a big bowl of white rice. Even the pork liver, with a tender texture and no funk.
