New-style Taiwanese cuisine Check In Taipei has just opened a new branch in Yoho, Yuen Long. The open restaurant design inside the mall is very eye-catching and perfect for taking photos. The design elements are inspired by the waves and hills of Taiwan, with two sets of 45-meter-long tie-dyed fabrics hanging from the ceiling. These fabrics are handcrafted by Giants_tiedye, creating a gradual transition of ocean blue colors and a wave-like edge, creating a soothing and calming atmosphere as they gently sway in the air.
The curved design of the sofa chair seat resembles small hills, and the entire space transitions from blue to pink and orange, exuding a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere. It’s a beautiful spot for taking photos and checking in.
The dish specially incorporates the exclusive style of this store. The most popular brand of Grandma’s Mochi is transformed into a light blue color to match the design theme. Made with fresh cow’s milk and tapioca flour, this Grandma’s Mochi does not contain glutinous rice flour. It is specially made with butterfly pea flowers to create this color tone. It can be paired with Oreo ($98), crushed peanuts ($88), and black sesame ($88). Pulling the mochi creates a stringy effect, which can be considered a designated photo-taking action. Mixing the mochi with the toppings creates a enjoyable texture and taste.
New creations of desserts include taro paste with soy milk jelly ($88), made with soy milk for a creamy and smooth texture. Earl Grey tea jelly with sticky rice cake ($78), sticky rice cake is a traditional sweet treat in Taiwan, with a chewy and smooth texture similar to jelly and aloe vera. It is especially delicious when paired with Earl Grey tea jelly, and even with a large portion of taro balls, it won’t be too heavy.
There are also many new elements in savory food, such as the addition of truffle corn cheese pancake with duck egg (HKD $98), which is filled with cheese and served with truffle sauce. Another variation is the Thai-style minced meat lettuce wrap pancake (HKD $138), where the pancake is fried into thin slices and topped with lettuce and Thai-style minced meat.
Taiwanese Scallion Pancake Pizza ($128) is a creative combination that transforms the Taiwanese-flavored scallion pancake into a thin pizza crust, topped with cheese and Taiwanese-style sausage, creating a crispy and fragrant texture.
Big Head Shrimp Tom Yum Beef Noodles ($178) with Tom Yum seasoning added to the beef broth, can be served with hand-pulled noodles or Taiwanese wide rice noodles.
Like spicy food, you can choose the Spicy Lu Rou Fan with Sakura Shrimp ($78). The mild spiciness and flavorful Lu Rou meat are perfect for stuffing!
