Lao Pang Northeastern Barbecue

Five years after opening its main Taipei store, Lao Pang has launched a larger Taichung branch to serve its signature dishes from China's northeastern Jilin province. The cavernous interior creates a casual ambiance with colorful wall murals, painted and neon Chinese signs, and seating 150 at round tables and booths (plus two private rooms). A highlight of the a la carte menu is a wide range of grilled, juicy, savory meat skewers (starting at NT$30)—from Fatty and Lean Beef and Pork Kidneys to Chicken Hearts and Xinjiang Lamb—precooked with proprietary Northeastern Chinese spices and warmed over metal table charcoal grills. Non-skewer top sellers include a big BBQ Lamb Leg (NT$1,680), Chongqing Style Grilled Whole Fish (NT$1,280), Roasted Beef Bone Marrow (NT$320), and Northeast China Style Sauerkraut and Pork Hot Pot (NT$340, 2-3 people), served in a striking cloisonné hot pot. Various other dishes include a variety of grilled vegetable skewers and dishes (NT$25-120) and stir-fried seafood. Complementing this cuisine is draft Orion Beer, bottled beers, whiskies, sake and soju.

在台北已營業5年的老胖東北燒烤台北絕店,於台中開設了首家店、同時也是規模最大的分店,主打來自中國東北吉林省的招牌料理。寬敞開闊的用餐空間,營造出輕鬆的氛圍,搭配色彩繽紛的牆面彩繪、手繪與霓虹中文招牌,設有可容納約150人的圓桌與卡座座位,另有兩間包廂。

單點菜單的一大亮點是種類豐富、肉汁飽滿、鮮香八味的各式燒烤肉串(30元起),從肥瘦牛、烤腰子、雞心到新疆羊肉,皆先以獨門東北香料醃先調味烤製,再於東邊金屬炭火爐上加熱,香氣四溢。

非串燒類的人氣料理還包括:招牌火烤羊腿(1,680元)、重慶諸葛烤全魚(1,280元)、牛骨髓(320元),以及以暖鍋秦藍火鍋盛裝的東北酸菜白肉鍋(430元,適合2~3人享用)。此外,亦提供多款烤蔬菜串與蔬食料理(25~120元),以及涼炒海鮮等選擇。飲品方面,包括Orion生啤酒,並有多款瓶裝啤酒、威士忌、日本清酒與燒酒,為食點風味加分。
