HOK House of Kuo 郭元益的家

Nice place to stay all day here.

My favor bakery in Taipei. I recommend 冰沙餡餅。

The food here are very special. Nice vintage looking cafe. Must try ?

Great brunch and cozy seats, classic brunch plates or sandwiches, a lit pricey but worth the penny. Come have some great brunch to start your great weekend.

Niceeeeee bakery..

Nice and clean with a relaxing environment. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Good coffee in a large cup. My only criticism is that the bread is too sweet when paired with a meal.

If order a main dish it's 130 NT extra for the soup and 5 platter dessert. You can choose out of 32 choices. 2 of the 5 can be macarons. Normal price for the platter is 160 NTD. With a main dish 50% price reduction on the drink. Full price of the drink was 180 NTD. The main dish was 260 NTD. The restaurant has big window in the front. I liked the interior design.

We came on a stat holiday for lunch without reservation. We arrived around 12:30 and first floor was already packed. We were being seated on the second floor, the space is a little bit smaller but very cozy and quiet. We ordered “Sesame Braised Pork Sauce with Roasted Duck Pasta” ($300) and “Sesame Oil Chicken Creamy Risotto” ($300). We ordered them because they were Taiwanese & Italian fusion style. I really liked the pasta itself because it was cooked just right (al dente) and the sauce was very flavourful. The server kindly reminded us that the pasta sauce is spicy - we both felt it was actually quite spicy, so please keep in mind if you don’t eat spicy food! The risotto was creamy and chicken was tender. I just wish the marinated egg was a poached egg instead, so that it can melt along with the rice. Our lunch came with a drink (price within $100), we had a hot “English Breakfast Tea” and an iced “Black Sugar Caffe Latte”. Both drinks tasted okay but we feel the $100 drinks were very limited, only 2 choices in the drink menu. We had to add extra $60 for the latte. We had a small “Tiramisu Cake” to go, and it came with your selection of two free macaroons (or chocolate). The cake and macaroons were all very nice and not too sweet. I would definitely come back again for afternoon tea next time! :)
