ブロカントなカフェで台湾料理 『KICA』 : Kica

KICA sells brocante miscellaneous goods. There is also a cafe in the back, but the menu that serves everything has changed from before, and Taiwanese Cuisine is now also served. why? That's what I thought, but I'm curious because I like Taiwanese Cuisine. So, I asked him while I was working from home. When I say it's close, it's close, but that's why I don't go there. It's been a while since I last visited this place, and it had a bit, if not a lot more European flavor than I remembered, and it felt like an antique. was getting stronger. No, second-hand tools are fine, but before, things like shelves lined with button drawers, torsos, and sewing machines were choices that gave a sense of taste, but now they look like treasure hunts. I feel like the atmosphere has been significantly lost. The cafe space, which was once a devil's cave, has lost its atmosphere and I can't help but feel that it is just dusty. That aside, there are definitely Taiwanese Cuisine on the menu. There are also a la carte menus, but since I took the opportunity to order the lunch menu (12:00-15:00), I ordered the Small Taiwan Street Food Plate. There are two types of this plate, and I ordered the ``Seasonal Side Dishes, Bottle, Soup, and Salad Set'' (the other is Seasonal Side Dishes and Roam Rice/Chicken Rice + Noodles). The menu consists of salad + 11 to 13 seasonal side dishes + green onion dumplings + hemp oil chicken (soup). It simply says that it's a seasonal side dish, but this is amazing! Chimachima is a bit of an understatement, but the arrangement is cute and the colors are bright, just like playing house. There is no such thing as something that has been worked on one by one and then just left as is. It looks great, it's vegetable-based (plus fish), it's healthy, and it satisfies the elements that women are said to like. I think if it were served as an obanzai in Kyoto, it would be quite popular. This side dish doesn't have a particularly Taiwanese flavor, but rather a Japanese flavor. It was an impeccable lunch...Actually, I personally don't find the idea of eating obanzai-style dishes outside at all, so this may be a bad thing, but the fact that it was bland and made the best use of the ingredients was... All of this is good, but it's all really bad.It gets stuck in my throat and I can't move my chopsticks at all. What's more, the thick dough of the green onion mochi makes it very filling. Although it contained smoked bacon and cheese, the taste was monotonous, so I tried my best but couldn't finish it all. I'm sure those who like it will be very happy with it, and for 1,400 yen, it's definitely a good value since it has such a wide variety of contents (at a famous store in the Kyoto area, there aren't that many customers and it's hard to get everything). I thought so, but it just didn't seem to suit me. I'd like to come back for tea once the atmosphere has been renewed a bit.

This is a miscellaneous goods store with a really nice atmosphere (maybe you could say it's more brocanto (beautiful junk) than antiques?) There's something about it that I've always been drawn to, and every once in a while I'd look in there and smell the delicious curry in the air. Then, I noticed the existence of a cafe attached to the back. It's hidden well from the general merchandise area, so this is the first time I've seen it in its entirety, and this cafe is still wonderful. It perfectly matches the store's image. It would be rude to say that I was surprised by the menu, but it is quite extensive, and in addition to curry, there are various delicious-looking menu items such as quiche. Come to think of it, I didn't see it for a while before they started posting information outside, giving me the impression that they were putting more effort into the cafe. The shop happened to be closed in the morning on that day, so I couldn't prepare lunch, so I couldn't find the curry I was looking for, but the cake was so appealing that I couldn't choose, so I ordered 3 types. I asked for an assortment. The contents include apple clafoutis, Naruto Kintoki tart, and fluffy lemon cake. Lol, because the lemon cake is not fluffy and the clafouti is thin and flat, so it seems like the definitions are different in the first place. I don't know if there's a way to make tarts like this, but they're as white as if they're undercooked, and have a soft texture that blends with the filling. I actually like simple cakes...but I don't think they're worth paying for because they have such a homemade feel to them. 700 yen seems a little high (because there is no drink set, drinks are discounted by 100 yen). Well, I might have been more shocked if I had received it for 450 yen. However, I can tell from the kitchen that the work is done with care, so I have a good impression of them, and it might make a difference depending on the situation. Above all, the atmosphere is irreplaceable, so I plan to visit again. I think curry would be good next time.
