Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Meat & Tendon (紅燒半筋半肉) $140 NT

Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Meat & Tendon 

The beef noodle soup was really different from the usual Taiwanese braised ones. The soup was much clearer and lighter and tasted a bit Vietnamese. The beef was cooked okay.

Papaya Salad (涼拌青木瓜) $90 NT 

Papaya Salad 

This didn't taste like the usual Thai papaya salads either. It's like the restaurant's own version of papaya salad.

Thai Fried Chicken (椒麻雞) $160 NT

Thai Fried Chicken

The chicken was fried so the meat is nice and tender, but the sauce was a bit off. It didn't taste very Thai... or taste like anything actually.

Stir Fried Water Spinach (炒空心菜) $70 NT

Stir Fried Water Spinach

Some veggies to complete the meal :)

For the price that you're paying at Tong Ji, the food is okay. The food may not be completely authentic, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't taste good.
