又到了尋覓餐食的痛苦時間，雖然大部份的時候，我都固定吃某幾家店，因為這些店家，我已經試過了餐點，覺得餐點合口味，完全不會踩雷，才會選擇再次光顧，然而，一樣的餐點吃久了，多多少少會膩，這時候，就需要開發新的口袋名單了。
剛好路過這間以鐵板燒為賣點的攤車，店前面夾著很多夾子，很有熱炒店的感覺，總之，讓我一眼就相中，很想試試看它的餐點，我就點了一份我最常吃的炒飯，來看看老闆的手藝，眾所皆知的，鐵板燒最大的特色，就是所有料理都是在鐵板上完成的，老闆先將蔬菜放上鐵板，快速翻炒，再加入少許鹽與黑胡椒，豆芽菜在短短幾十秒內就炒到脆嫩，還保有水分，看的食材在鐵板上飛舞，很有觀賞性。
不過，這家店並不是真正的鐵板燒餐廳，只是用鐵板來料理食物，老闆無法像鐵板燒餐廳一樣和客人互動，簡單聊一下天，客人也無法輕鬆地坐在鐵板前，觀賞料理完成的過程，拿到炒飯之後，我發現還有簡單的擺盤，店家用花椰菜點綴一下平凡的炒飯，果然和一般店家賣的炒飯不一樣，炒飯的香氣也特別濃郁，不過，吃下第一口炒飯，哇！好油膩喔，果然也和一般店家賣的炒飯不一樣，總之，炒飯的味道還可以接受，但是，真的太油了，這家店我就不放入我的口袋名單吧。
It was that painful time again—figuring out what to eat. Most of the time, I usually rotate between a few regular places because I already know their food suits my taste, and since I’ve tried them before, there’s almost no risk of disappointment. That’s why I keep going back. But even food you like can get boring after a while, so every now and then, I feel the need to discover a few new backup spots.
I happened to walk past this food stall that promoted itself with a teppanyaki-style cooking setup. There were lots of clips hanging in front of the stall, giving it a bit of that stir-fry street food vibe. Somehow it immediately caught my attention, and I felt like trying it. I ordered my usual fried rice to see how skilled the owner was. As everyone knows, the biggest feature of teppanyaki is that everything is cooked right on the hot iron plate. The owner first threw some vegetables onto the iron plate, stir-fried them quickly, then added a little salt and black pepper. The bean sprouts were cooked in just seconds, staying crisp and juicy. Watching the ingredients move around on the hot plate was actually pretty entertaining.
Still, this wasn’t a real teppanyaki restaurant. It is just a stall using an iron plate to cook food. The owner couldn’t really interact with customers the way chefs do in a teppanyaki restaurant, where they casually chat while cooking right in front of you. Customers also couldn’t sit comfortably and enjoy the whole cooking process up close.
When I got my fried rice, I noticed there was even a simple bit of plating. The owner added some broccoli on the side to decorate the otherwise ordinary-looking fried rice, which already made it feel different from regular fried rice sold elsewhere. The aroma was also especially rich.
When the moment I took the first bite, Wow, it was really oily. Definitely different from ordinary fried rice, but not entirely in a good way. Overall, the flavor was acceptable, but honestly, it was just too greasy. So in the end, this place probably won’t make it onto my personal food list
