周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), Xining Road @ Wanhua District, Taipei

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), Xining Road @ Wanhua District, Taipei

周照子 (No. 167, Xining Road, Wanhua District, Taipei, tel : +886 2 2381 2580) appears to be a fusion of Taiwanese styled teppanyaki and Taiwanese porridge. There's a teppanyaki bar along with a menu for a whole slew of stir fried dishes. Come to think of it, those stir fried dishes might have come from the teppan anyways. 🤔

Most of the dishes were in small sharing portions.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), beef tongue

There's stir fried ox tongue with scallions which we had seconds of. Tender, chewy and greasy in a good way.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), cai por omelette

Pretty decent cai por omelette which we had seconds of as well.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), pig liver

Pork liver in sweet sauce. If memory serves, also had seconds of.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), bean sprouts pan fried in beef fat

Beans sprouts stir fried with beef fat which paired deliciously with rice/porridge.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), lamb soy milk miso

Another dish we had seconds of was lamb stir fried with onions and soy milk miso. This was pretty good.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), oysters spring onion fermented black bean

Love their oysters stir fried with spring onions and fermented black bean.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), mackerel

Pan fried mackerel was okay-ish.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), halibut

Not so much into the halibut. Meat wasn't firm.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), cabbage

Stir fried cabbage.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), porridge

All the dishes were made to go well with their bottomless rice and porridge with sweet potatoes. That and sides like salted duck egg, meat floss or fermented bean curd to name a a few that one could add on via self service for 25NT each.

周照子 (Chou Chao Tzu), sugarcane milk

This was sugar cane with milk which we ordered out of curiosity. It did appear to be slightly milky but tasted exactly like regular sugarcane juice.
