Dinner in Jhubei
One of the perks of working for a consulting company is that I get to dine with clients on a weekly basis. today after day long discussions, I had a dinner with Project Manager of one of our biggest clients. The clients office is located in Jhunan, South of Hsinchu County but since this guy lives in Jhubei where my office is located we decided to have dinner in Jhubei. Jhubei has excellent range of restaurants in the area known as 11 Street. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. In addition to traditional Chinese food restaurants, you can find Japanese, Italian, Continental and several Coffee/Tea shops. But we chose the nearest one from where we parked our car LOL.
This is the entrance of the restaurant. No sign, no board but a 2 floor restaurant with capacity for 100 people. Impressive.
Several table were placed outside to accommodate peak hour customers. Check out the two shoe shaped china clay flower pots hanging on the wall in the right top quarter of the image.
Dinning party. Left to right - Steven, our guest of the evening then Johnson and Ray, my colleagues and myself.
Main attraction, the FOOD. [Starting from center-bottom dish and moving anti-clockwise] Shrimp fried rice,Shrimp fried rice, Seaweed Tofu soup, Beef noodles and Dumplings.
[In the center, starting with dish just below the soup bowl moving clockwise] fried pork chops and potato, cooked vegetables with spicy sauce, boiled chicken and cooked pig liver. Yes thats right, PIG Liver :P
Staircase to Second floor. Colleague told me that second floor was reserved for large family celebration lunch/dinner parties with each table being able to accommodate over 20 people.
happy dinning. That’s Ray after the dinner. Look at that ear-to-ear smile. Didn’t I tell you the food was great?
Ashish, did you ever get a name for the place? thanks.
No I couldn’t find any name or restaurant board but I enquired about it. The fact that they do not have any board is because the restaurant is the oldest on the block. The area is know as “11 Street” and hence they have unofficially acquired the name “11 street restaurant” :) Now thats how “11 street” legend was born i guess
Wow, Ray does have a big smile.
I like your purple tie. The food there does look pretty good, but I would have avoided the liver, yuck.
Thanks for adding my blog to your list. Keep warm up north. :)
hahaha … yeah … he does have a big smile Sandy.
Thank you so much for your comment and compliment. Now that I have done it I wish I could have avoided tasting pig liver :( yikes
Wow, nice photos. The car looks sooooo shiny!
Thanks a lot Joanna :)
Yes indeed. I wish the car was mine though :P
