OK, Dragon Inn, a dumpling place. I like the name, Dragon Inn, nice~

We were going to have spicy hot pot noodles today, but on our way there, Alan mentioned about this place, since I never been, and most importantly, it’s easier to find parking, we headed to today’s restaurant of choice, Dragon Inn 龍門客棧.

It’s not a fancy place, don’t have neon lights flashing either, but it has it’s own style and feel to it.
 

It got an open kitchen to the right of the entrance, big buckets of boiling water for cooking noodles and dumplings~
To the left of the entrance, is where you order your "Lu-Cai” 滷菜, they have lots… from pig tongue to tofu skin~
 

Inside the restaurant, it’s… a combination of lots of old stuff… and it’s packed too~
  

This is the lu-wei I ordered, got a bit of everything… it’s actually a pretty big plate~ And of course I ordered the peanuts, I love peanuts!!! It’s the kind that was marinated, but not too salty, and not too soft~ The lu-wei was all pretty good I thought, nothing spectacular, it’s home style cooking for Chinese refugee descendents in Taiwan… Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna refer to myself from now on… hahahaha!!!

This is Egg Drop Beef Soup 牛肉蛋花湯, got eggs, cabbage in it. Soup is just like your beef noodle soup, pretty good I thought. Not dead salty (死鹹), and won’t make you thirsty either.

50 dumplings, what a sight~ It’s pork and cabbage stuffing. It’s the only choice you have… Not sure if the skin was handmade, but it’s pretty good~ Putting it next to the other stuff and you can see, yeah, it’s a pretty damn big plate~

OK, the pork chop was a bit disappointing… It’s more of a Japanese styled fried pork chop… I was expecting something different… The dry beef noodles, no stock was added to it, so it’s just the sauce from the beef stew. Not too bad, but won’t miss out on anything if you don’t try it.

Overall, this is a pretty good place to try, that’s if you like dumplings of course. I’m sure there are better ones out there, but then, taste really is a personal thing…
