Ah-Sing's Beef Steak

At Ah-Sing's Beef steak restaurant, you'll enjoy the friendly service of Ah-Sing and his wife while enjoying several varieties of fried steaks. Beef steak (牛排 niú pái) is the most typical dish and is available for 80NT, as well as pork (豬肉) steak and chicken leg (雞腿 jī tuǐ) steak. Salmon (鮭魚 guī yú) steak and a bit thicker beef steak are slightly more expensive. You can choose what kind of sauce you want on your meat: mushroom, black pepper, or a mixture of both sauces. All dishes come with noodles and a fried egg.

All meals come with a bowl of corn chowder (玉米濃湯 yù mǐ nóng tāng) and sweet black tea. Both of these items are self-serve, as is the silverware. After you order, Ah-Sing will tell you which table is available for seating. Your plate will be sizzling when it comes, so be careful. Additionally, you'll need to flip your egg over to let it finish cooking.

Other notes: The Smuckers eat here nearly every Tuesday night. If you go, tell Ah-Sing that you're friends with Matt and Holly (我們是Matt 和 Holly 的朋友。wǒ men shì Matt hé Holly de péng yǒu) for an extra special greeting. Also, Ah-Sing is fluent in several languages, including Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Hakka. He knows a little bit of English (e.g. the names of the food dishes), so he may be able to help as you stumble through any language barrier.
