Empty plate komboi is an impressive French restaurant. It is not only recommended by Michelin, but also stands out for its unique menu concept and elegant space. This time I visited a menu series with the theme of "Burgundy Flavor" in cooperation with Downing Tea. The space in the store is very artistic, the tables are spaced widely, and the overall atmosphere is comfortable and comfortable. The dishes are carefully designed and carefully presented, and each dish brings surprises. The following will introduce the highlights and experiences of this meal in detail.

Komboi menu introduction and dining experience
Three consecutive rounds of hors d'oeuvres
Mackerel tower
Use fresh mackerel, mix it with candied comb melon and colored pepper, cover the soup jelly on the surface and garnish with fennel sauce, the overall refreshing and appetizing.
Beef tata crepe
The filling is a creative combination of beef, shallots, mayonnaise and diced mustard. The outer layer is wrapped in vegetable crepes. It is crispy and interesting. It is my favorite appetizer.
Cheese puffs
Burgundy is traditionally smaller, with a rich milky fragrance, fluffy taste, and just the right amount.
Appetizer
Meat Pie / Pickled Cucumber / parsley
It is a combination of pork, chicken, and chicken liver into a pie, with sauerkraut and mayonnaise on the sandwich, which is rich in aroma; the surface is covered with Korean sesame leaves and coriander flowers, and the visual effect is good. However, it is more inconvenient to eat, and the taste of sesame leaf stems is a bit of a drama.
French bread / Dijon Mustard Cream
The bread made of white chives and rye is chewy, and the two creams, mustard seeds and black truffles, are very rich.
Wild Frog / Snail / Rhapsody of Ginger Mango Green Tea
The dual enjoyment of fried pheasant and fried conch, the conch is covered with garlic sauce and basil, accompanied by a sauce made with Tangning ginger mango green tea and chicken bones. There are also sweet bean kernels and fried garlic crisp on the side, which are rich in layers and have a surprising taste.
Add a little bit
orecchiette / bamboo eggs / Pinot Noir (+$350)
orecchiette are stir-fried in red wine pork bone soup, with fried eggs and Parmesan cheese. The sauce is salty and fragrant. Although the fried eggs are slightly superfluous, they are still delicious overall.
Main meal of fish and white meat
White eel / Ricotta / acid film
The Taiwanese white eel is steamed and grilled repeatedly. The sauce is boiled with sour membrane leaves and fish bones, with a little sourness. The dumplings on the top are filled with ricotta and French smoked eel, and the top is sprinkled with mullet roe powder. The dumplings are delicious, but the eel thorns are obvious, which affects the overall experience.
Rabbit / Basswood mushroom / Dijon Mustard
Taiwan breeds rabbit meat and makes rabbit meat rolls from the three parts of the inner muscles, chest, and legs. The sauce is mustard seed sauce and white asparagus stock, and white asparagus is spread on top. The green oil next to it is sesame leaf oil, and there are fried mustard seeds with fennel roots underneath.The stew with onion matches well, and the meat is soft and tender, which is amazing.
Beaded Chicken / Morel Chicken / Carmine Berry Tea
Low-temperature cooked chicken breast and charcoal grilled leg meat are paired with carmine berry tea sauce and wild ginger Shaoxing sauce, accompanied by coked kohlrabi puree and melaleuca potatoes. Although the flavor is rich, the body of the main meal is slightly dull.
Desserts and snacks
Black cherry / hazelnut / cocoa
Black cherry ice powder, hazelnut cake, yogurt sauce and cocoa chips are intertwined into one, rich in layers, the only small pity is that the cocoa aroma is slightly insufficient.
Tête De Moine Classic Cheese / Almond / Caramel Doctoral Tea
The cheese tart is filled with almonds, stacked with amber caramel doctoral tea jelly, and served with rich caramel ice cream. It's a pity that the cheese tower has a heavier sense of separation, and the lower layer is hard.
Petit Four
Spice cake and red wine pear gummy candy draw a warm end to the meal. The souvenir jam given is also very attentive~
Meal and wine pairing
When choosing wine pairing this time, the sommelier explained clearly that the wine and the dishes should be matched appropriately. IT IS ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE DAVID liquor PAIRED IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH AND THE LULU red wine FOR THE MAIN COURSE HAVE A UNIQUE FLAVOR AND COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER'S DISHES.
Personal feelings
Komboi is a French restaurant with ideas and execution. Each dish has a context and theme, both taste and creativity. Although a few dishes are slightly regrettable, the overall experience is still excellent. The space is comfortable and the explanation is professional. Gourmets who like to pay attention to detail and theme design must not miss it.
