Ah Mao Risotto in Ximending

After our tiring day outside we want to have some decent meal for lunch. Our initial plan is to go to Modern Toilet for lunch but because of the rain and it's distance from Ximen station we decided to just select any food chains near Ximen station. This vibrant yellow and orange color stairs lured us with it's affordable menu and rice meals.

Upon entering we are in awe of their minimalist but fancy interior. It is clean and has a big window view overseeing the people passing by Ximending area. Though the staff can only speak a few English words we communicated using hand gestures. The staff are very accommodating and nice. 

We love their food cause they have this combo meal where you can get a risotto meal with soup, dessert and a milk tea for only 270NTD. Their food is really affordable and less expensive than Modern toilet. It is in fact a decent meal.

One of the things that captured my attention and heart for this restaurant is their in house dog. At first it did not come to my mind why their logo is a dog. Because it is a dog friendly place, did not process that one fast. There are a lot of dog photos displayed inside and you can also play with them. The dogs are gentle and nice. The one in the resto that time is so friendly, he sits under our table.

This highlight my visit in Taiwan. If you are a dog person you'll definitely enjoy this place. I am so happy that we found this restaurant.
