Christmas Dinner at Wang Steak

Last night was Christmas Eve.  We went out to in Wang Steak Taoyuan City.  Years ago, we had eaten at a restaurant that was similar, but had never eaten at the “King”.  The other restaurant was ok, but the meat seemed like it was cooked in a steam cooker. 

Wang Steak grills their meat and cooks it to a perfect medium rare.  The meal is a set menu.  They serve soup, salad, the entrée, desert, and a coffee or tea drink at the end.  Since it was Christmas Eve they gave us a complimentary seafood course, consisting of mussels, white fish, squid, and clam. 

I have to admit the place seemed pricey at first, until I saw the food and presentation.  Prices start at $1550 NTD (About $46 USD) to $1990 NTD (About $60 USD) per person, depending on what you order. 

One interesting thing about this particular facility is that the booths are parabolic, so people inside the booth could speak softly and be heard easily by the rest of the group.  This way the restaurant stays quiet and elegant.

I have to admit right here and now, that I’m new to this food blogging thing.  I kept forgetting to take pictures of my food.

昨晚是聖誕前夕。我們去了桃園市的王品牛排。幾年前，我們曾經在一家類似的餐廳用餐，但從未在「王品」用過餐。那家餐廳還可以，但肉質像是用蒸汽鍋煮的。

王品牛排將肉塊烤得恰到好處，達到完美的中等熟度。這頓飯是套餐形式，包含湯、沙拉、主菜、甜點，以及餐後的咖啡或茶。由於是聖誕前夕，他們還贈送了我們一份免費的海鮮拼盤，包括蠔、白魚、魷魚和蛤蜊。

我必須承認，剛開始覺得這裡價格有點高，直到我看到食物和擺盤。價格從每人新台幣1550元（大約46美元）到1990元（大約60美元）不等，視乎你點的菜品。

這家餐廳的一個有趣之處是，他們的包廂是拋物線形設計，這樣包廂裡的人可以輕聲交談，其他人也能清楚聽到。這樣餐廳保持了安靜和優雅的氛圍。

我必須坦白，這是我第一次嘗試食物部落格寫作。我總是忘記拍照紀錄我的餐點。
