Welcome back to The Eats of Taipei. We are going go to Dolce Vita restaurant.
As you can see, we are at CKS Memorial Hall Exit 2 MRT Station. [中正紀念堂捷運站第二出口]
We're just on Roosevelt Road. [羅斯福路] So, if you'd like to just follow me this way.
So, here we are at Dolce Vita.
As you can see, Dolce Vita Pasta and Curry.
Ok. So, let's go in.
Ok. So,I'm going to order a pasta dish.
I am going to order this one here - tomato spaghetti,
but I'm not going to have the seafood.
I am going to replace it with the bacon and mushrooms.
I would like to order this one here.
That's the. . .
seafood
No. The tomato, but I don't want the seafood.
Do you want the bacon?
I want to replace it with the bacon and mushroom please
because I want the tomato sauce. Is that ok?
Yes, that's fine.
Thank you.
That's a special one.
This dish is the fried cod.
And you can see the sauce, which is a soy bean salad sauce.
These are the chicken nuggets. As you can see the sauce is on the chicken
nuggets.
And over here, we have the spicy chicken wings.
This is what I have ordered. This is the bacon mushroom pasta.
As you can see there are lots of vegetables in there too.
Also, there's the soup.
Everyday there is a different soup, often western style.
But today, a kind of Japanese style soup today.
And, there's also a dessert.
A mango flavoured dessert here.
Also, the other dish we have here.
This is the 'Broadway' curry rice.
The Broadway means three different kinds of meat.
You have the shrimp.You have the cod [鱈魚] and you have the chicken.
Now I am at the magazine corner with the boss, Yulin.
Yes.
OK Yulin, Let's have a look at your menu.
Could you . . ? I can see there is curry here and pasta here.
Yes
and I like the symbols. We have the vegetarian symbols, spicy, fried food
Now, we're looking at the curries here.
Can you very quickly explain the curries to me?
The first one is chicken and the second one is fish. 椰香魚排 [fried coconut fish]
Ok.
Yeah. It's quite popular in Taiwan.
Ok. Sure.
And the third one is pork.
Ok. Yeah
And the fourth one is seafood.
Ok,Ok The next one here says something like 'Broadway',
what does that mean?
It's a combination of fried chicken and fish and the shrimp.
It's a combination.
I see these two here are vegetarian orders.
Could you please just quickly state the difference between those two?
The first one here is all vegetables.
Yeah. Sure
The last one is mushroom with a little bit of vegetables.
So, it's a completely different style.
I see. I see.
We're looking at the pasta now.
We have many different pasta options.
Again, we have two vegetarian options. What's the difference between those two?
The first one is 'Dolce' vegetables. Actually,it is named after our brand.
I see. OK.
And it's with a tomato sauce.
But this one is barbecued first. And then with the tomato sauce.
so, it is more complicated to make it.
I see. I see. Also, I see you have the chicken curry here.
It's a chicken curry with pasta.
Yes. Ok.
If someone says, "I don't want to eat the rice, can I get the pasta or noodles?"
,I will introduce this.
I love the tomato sauce.
We have the tomato and seafood here.
If people don't like the seafood, . . .
You can change that. . You can change that.
We can make a special one for you.
Before the order you can ask them to make it for you first.
This one here is the bacon and mushroom in the cream sauce.
Some people like cream sauce?
Yes. Actually, it's quite popular.
Also, what's this one here?
The basil [羅勒], so Chinese people say 青醬 [pesto sauce]. It's green basil.
It's a green one ?
Right.
Very Quickly. What's different or special about this restaurant?
This restaurant. Originally, we were a curry restaurant.
Yeah.
And around this area, there were not many pasta shops,
and a lot of people said, "why don't you sell pasta?"
And,actually,our chef is good at cooking pasta.
He's very good is he?
And also, I think something you missed is that this place is very healthy.
Because you serve the food often with olive oil.
And we don't add what we call 味精
MSG [monosodium glumamate]
Yes.
I see.
And everything, every vegetables are original ingredients.
We make everything every day.
So, everything is freshly prepared.
Yes, freshly prepared.
So, that was a great meal and really good value for money too.
So, if you got time, I recommend that you go to Dolce Vita.
See you again on The Eats of Taipei.
