Near the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, there's a plethora of restaurants lining the alleys. Some are famous, while others seem inconspicuous, with names that are a bit puzzling. Honestly, when I saw Restaurant 217, I probably wouldn't have stepped in if it weren't for my mom's recommendation. She found it decent, and mainly because there weren't many other suitable options nearby. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been my first choice.
For me, its value proposition isn't that great. The dishes didn't stand out or entice me to give them a try. The most unique aspect is probably their peculiar sauce; otherwise, it offers quite common menu items at not-so -affordable prices. That's why I find its existence awkward – even if it were the only option left, I might prefer eating instant noodles. It just doesn't quite hit the mark for me.
The soy milk is alright, it's just the prices that aren't.
Self-serve utensils and condiments.
Ordinary side dishes with acceptable portion sizes.
Sliced braised pork with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. I believe many homemade versions can easily compete with it. Have that confidence!
Dumplings are still better with chili oil. The wrapper outweighs the filling, lacking a balanced ratio. Not my preferred type.
By the way, the portion size won't fill up an adult male, especially when considering the price. It creates a sense of not being worth it. The 'weird flavor' actually combines various seasonings into one sauce, allowing you to experience sour, salty, sweet, numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant tastes all at once. It makes you curious to guess what ingredients are in it – some are obvious, while others might mislead. Before you have too much time to ponder, the noodles are gone. And that's it! Adding more noodles isn't worth it, and as for adding more sauce, let's skip that. After finishing, there's a sense of emptiness, whether in the stomach or the wallet.
