Healthy Food Night Out @ Easy House 禪風蔬食@寬心園小館(高雄明誠店) By 體驗券 [Foodie Series] | Steve&Angela Fu

第一次參加愛評體驗券特別邀約體驗活動，沒想到，第一次參加體驗就被抽中了，好開心喔！因為外婆以前都一定只能吃素食，所以家庭聚會選餐廳都很麻煩，雖然外婆現在沒有那麼介意一定要吃素食，但是這幾年，我和Steve完全改變我們的飲食習慣，我們比較偏向吃食物的「原形」，不吃加工製品，所以平常在家我們都是以蔬食為主，多吃青菜和水果，剛剛好，寬心園的形象好像和我們很合，讓我也對這次的體驗特別期待。
In the past few years, we have been trying to eat healthier, live healthier, and also place our mind in a healthier place. And it turns out, we actually enjoy this lifestyle. We try to eat Whole Food and also definitely love all the fruits we can have in Taiwan. Since we barely eat out now, it's really refreshing to get this chance to try a restaurant that is similar to our eating style.

寬心園位在明誠路上，但是店家是凹進去的，有一種戶外中庭的感覺，所以真的沒有太顯眼，很容易一下就錯過了，但是就像他們的名字一樣，有一種讓心寬敞的感覺。
Even though Easy House is right on the main street, the store is kind of caved in. It's easily to be missed.

門口有一個小沙坑，兼具了美觀和實用，二樓用餐環境都可以往下清楚看到中庭，有孩子的家庭用餐時，也可以讓寶貝們到沙坑遊戲，家長也放心！
There is a sand pit in the court yard area in front of the Easy House. So while family having a good dining experience on the second floor, the parents can watch over their kids playing downstairs. It's really quite a quaint and functional court yard design.

門口一進去是一個玄關，餐廳位在二樓，一上樓，馬上就有服務生帶位，懸空的樓梯下是一個活水池，餐廳整體設計非常「禪風」，讓我們一從繁忙的明誠路走進來，就感覺到了另外一個平靜的世界。
The entrance of the Easy House is on the first floor, but there is no dining area on the first floor. One word to describe Easy House is "Zen"!

寬心園不只有單點的菜單，也有提供雙人或四人的套餐，雖然是套餐，但是每一道都有多項選擇，不只省錢，更可以多加嘗試不同的料理喔！
Easy House offers variety of dishes, and they also offer set menu with many different options for group of two and four. It's very thoughtful!

因為座位有限，所以寬心園貼心建議大家要提早預約，當我們到了的時候，餐桌／餐具都準備好給剛好的人數，好棒的服務。餐盤都很漂亮，幾乎都是陶燒的餐具，有很和諧的配色。
There are not many seats in Easy House, so it's better to make a reservation ahead of the time. Since we made reservation in advanced, our table was ready for us as soon as we got there. I love the plates/bowls they used in the restaurant, the style really goes with the entire restaurant.

我們喜歡採光好的餐廳，不喜歡摸黑吃飯，哈哈！寬心園的座位設計不會很擁擠，給用餐的人一點隱私，吃飯還要聽隔壁桌的八卦，那種感覺沒有很好。
The restaurant has good lighting, and the lighting makes the food looks sooooo delicious in the pictures. Wait, don't get me wrong, their food is actually pretty good.

寬心園招待我們兩種小菜，第一道是「涼拌辣黃瓜」，酸酸、甜甜、辣辣、脆脆、涼涼的小黃瓜，超級開胃，辣味是慢慢咬到最後才感覺得到，不會太辣，但是真的有一點辣度喔！
Easy House provided us two free appetizers, and here is the first one, "Spicy Cucumber Salad". This is quite tasty to be honest, it's in perfect crunch and flavors. The spice is not overpowering and also has a kick afterward.

第二道小菜是「五香豆乾」，這是我從小就愛吃的，很入味喔！
The second appetizer is "Braised Dried Tofu". The flavor is really good, and Steve likes it for the first time. He is usually not a big fan of the braised dried tofu in the past. I was really surprised.

「紅藜飯」
在家裡，我們很少吃白飯，通常是五穀米或糙米配上藜麥，有一種很熟悉的感覺。
"Red Quinoa Rice"
Quinoa has officially replaced the white rice in our household, it tastes good and also less refined.

「老皮嫩肉」
這是用雞蛋豆腐做的，配上香菇肉燥，超級下飯，也許是因為我們本來就不吃很多肉類，這道菜有點滷肉的感覺，Steve 可能太餓了，光是這道菜就把半碗紅藜飯吃完了。
"Egg Tofu in Mince Mushroom Sauce"
It's going to be a bit hard for me to translate the dish in Easy House, since they make all the dishes sound really nice with non-vegetarian name. The egg tofu is nothing like the regular tofu, it's way more tender and silky. The mushroom sauce tastes just like a meat sauce, and it really compliments with the tofu.

Steve 可能太餓了，光是這道菜就把半碗紅藜飯吃完了。
We really enjoyed this dish. It's really flavorful and goes well with the quinoa rice.

「高山烏龍茶（熱）」，可以免費回沖。透明的茶壺可以看到裡面的茶葉，很香的烏龍茶，溫溫的茶搭配著餐點，讓我們可以慢慢享用，吃飯也感覺不會那麼急。
"Hot Oolong Tea"
Oolong tea is known for their fragrance. Don't underestimate this teapot, this teapot is quite good preserving the heat for the tea. We were really impressed when we found the tea are still warm by the end of the meal.

乾杯！ Cheers!

「繽紛彩蠅頭」
看了菜名就知道這是取自於蒼蠅頭料理，一般蒼蠅頭是碎肉和韭菜下去拌炒，寬心園改版成切丁的蘆筍、甜椒和香菇丁，有一點辣辣的，就像原版的蒼蠅頭一樣的口感，真的讓我們很驚奇。
"Spicy Mince Asparagus, Bell Peppers and Mushrooms"
This dish is inspired by one of the famous dish in Taiwan. The original flavor is coming from mince meat with chives, but Easy House recreates the same texture and flavor by using asparagus and mushrooms. It's really special with a kick of spice.

「鮮筍野菇湯」，內涵新鮮的不同菇類、當歸、枸杞、筍子，有點像辦桌的烏骨雞湯，湯頭好讚。
"Bamboo Shoots and Mixed Mushrooms Soup"
The soup has a strong Chinese medicine flavor, but not overpowering. Very light and will definitely warm up your body.

吃到一半，外面下起大雨，喝一碗湯，身體也順便暖起來了！
Half way through our meal, it started pouring outside. We are so glad we are inside and enjoying this delicious meal.

「京都小嫩排」，這是最後一道菜，其實雙人套餐真的份量十足，到這道菜時，我們其實都很有飽足感了，但是一聞到酸酸甜甜的小嫩排，還是開動了。
"Mashed Taro in Tofu Skin Wrap"
The smell of this dish is so tangy. I just love it. You can see they uses the plum to infused the dish in order to create the acidity of the dish. I love sweet and sour stuff. Yum...

脆脆的豆腐皮包著帶點甜味的芋頭泥，外層的醬汁酸酸甜甜的，搭配起來不覺得油膩，反而覺得很好吃喔！
The crunchy tofu skin that coated with the sweet and sour plum sauce is totally a match maker with the smooth and lightly sweet mashed taro inside the wrap. It's a unique dish with a complex flavor.

「古早味豆花」，甜點是寬心園特別招待的，好可愛的小陶碗配上薑糖，可以自己加減糖分，甜點一直是我最期待的。小時候，我只有表現好，媽媽才會讓我去路上叫賣的豆花的買一碗豆花，我們兩個一起吃，豆花一直是媽媽的最愛。
"Soy Bean Pudding/ Tofu Pudding with Ginger Brown Sugar Syrup"
Soy Bean Pudding/ Tofu Pudding is my childhood favorite. I like the fact that Easy House let the customers control the sweetness of the pudding.

超級可愛的蓋子，打開來，是「真」的豆花，現在市面上有很多簡易作法的豆花，那種口感和傳統豆花真的完全不一樣，我還是喜歡傳統豆花那種綿密的感覺，很好吃。
The lid is super cute. Even though Steve enjoys eating tofu, and they all made from soy beans. But tofu pudding is not really his favorite.

一點點糖水其實就夠了，這樣才可以吃得到豆花的原味。
All you need is a drizzle of the syrup, so you can still taste the original flavor from the tofu pudding!

連櫃檯結帳的名片擺放都很講究，超級可愛的！
The counter in the front of the restaurant is so well decorated as we

寬心園小館讓我這次有一個很不一樣的用餐經驗：

第一次看菜單上的菜名，但是還是不知道會是什麼東西。

第一次菜名明明就有寫肉，但是卻是以蔬食來呈現。

第一次在家以外的地方，還可以吃到紅藜飯。

寬心園當天有一個生日慶祝會，所以廚房應該很忙，如果可以讓主菜同時出菜，我相信會讓用餐的客人更可以享受不同味覺的體驗。我也希望，除了可以提供英文菜單以外，寬心園可以簡單描述每一個菜色，不然一眼望去菜單真的會讓人霧煞煞。我們很驚艷寬心園廚師們的用心和創意，讓用餐的客人有一個不同的經驗，細細品嚐食物的原味。

We really enjoy this dining experience. The food is well thought out and tasty, and the service was awesome. The night we went to Easy House, they were also catering to a big birthday party. I think that caused some delay in the kitchen. Even though all the dishes came out eventually, but I think it would be much nicer if all the main courses come out all at the same time. So the customer can enjoy the whole meal as a package together. In conclusion, we were really impressed by how the chef of Easy House came up with the idea of each dish, and we will definitely go back and try other dish on the menu.
P.S. Hoping they can add English menu soon!
