土曜日ランチ訪問。
頼んでみたらどちらも土鍋料理でした。

2200円の前菜、メインが基本かな。
ラム肉料理を頼んだら、牛肉水煮のラムバージョンの土鍋でした。
美味しいのだけど、ここに限らず、四川麻婆豆腐や、牛肉水煮みたいのって、油まみれすぎない？こんなに油が必要なのかいつも疑問に思ってしまう。。

この料理って環境や身体に悪いだろうなと食べながら思うので、なるべくこの種は頂かないようにはしているんですけど。。頼んでしまったので、頂くのですが。。

高菜が入った土鍋料理がとってもコクと旨みがあって美味しかったです✨✨✨こちらは油は多すぎることなく安心して食べられました。

Visited for Saturday lunch.
When I ordered them, both of them were earthenware pot dishes.

Appetizers and main dishes cost 2200 yen.
When I ordered a lamb dish, it was a clay pot that was a lamb version of boiled beef.
It's delicious, but aren't the Sichuan mapo tofu and beef stew too covered in oil? I always wonder why so much oil is necessary. .

As I eat it, I think that this dish is bad for the environment and the body, so I try not to eat this kind of food as much as possible. . I already asked for it, so I'll take it. .

The earthenware pot dish with mustard greens was very rich and delicious✨✨✨It didn't have too much oil and I could eat it without worrying.

友人とランチ寄らせて頂きました。
前菜7種と棒餃子、汁なし担々麺をお願いし大変満足のお昼でした。
お盆前の暑い土曜日だったので台湾ビールも格別でした。
また寄らせていただきます。

I stopped by for lunch with a friend.
I ordered 7 appetizers, gyoza sticks, and dandan noodles without soup, and it was a very satisfying lunch.
It was a hot Saturday before Obon, so the Taiwanese beer was also special.
I will drop by again.
