Somtum Der Taiwan is officially on the Taiwanese food market. At this moment, we have no chance to return home to taste Thai food. We look forward to a Thai restaurant with authentic cooking techniques, so as to relieve the mood of homesickness (yes! That’s right). The dishes use the layered texture of spices and a cup of hand-labeled Thai milk full of ice cubes. It is viewed from a harsh perspective. In fact, it is hoped that Song Dan Le will bring authentic delicacies to Ai Thai people.
More about Somtum Der Thai Restaurant
The owner of Somtum Der Thailand originally opened a restaurant in the Northeast region, and introduced Issan (Chinese translation: Yishan or Yisan) good baking and cold dressing to Bangkok. The unit price is around 2012 yuan. The store often announces new dishes in the fan club. When he visited in XNUMX, he already It is a well-known restaurant with few seats but full. The New York branch won one Michelin star in one fell swoop, and it is even more famous. Friends took us to visit and taste it. It was delicious! (& so spicy~)
The location of Northeast Thailand is close to Laos, and the location relationship (not by the sea). The most famous dish is the cold green papaya dish. Looking at the stalls in Bangkok, this dish is sold. Among them, sour, spicy, and lettuce are one of the common elements of Northeastern Thai cuisine. The taste is more sour and spicy than the cuisine of central Bangkok, which fits the tastes of Thai people. It is understood that the Taipei branch strives to restore it, which is looking forward to it.

Somtum Der Taiwan's environment at a glance
Stationed on the second floor of the Breeze Food Court at Taipei Main Station, introducing Thai style with a lot of bamboo weaving, textures, and paintings. I like their ingenuity to separate four to five diners in private boxes, so that a family or friends can enjoy a sense of independent space for dining and lighting with lighting. The light color system makes up for the lack of light in the external windows, and it can be seen that the selection of tableware is matched with the decoration. Fortunately, it is not an inexplicable flower pattern and dark-toned dinner plate. The details are well taken care of.
▲ The bamboo basket lamp above is the same as the main store in Bangkok.
▲ The seating arrangement is quite comfortable.
▲ The view of Chao Phraya River Bank.
The dishes are extremely rich, and the price is not as close as Bangkok
Turning over the menu page by page, it can be said that the main store in Bangkok has been moved to Taipei, and there are even more heavyweight dishes of Yishan platter. Those who love Thai cuisine can also see from the photos that baking and cold salad elements There are a lot of Northeastern Thai dishes, and there are also classic Thai dishes. Frankly speaking... I see my saliva almost flowing out.After seeing the price, it is about twice the price of the main store in Bangkok. However, considering the cost of rent, manpower, and ingredients, it is clear that it is impossible to provide exquisite cuisine at a unit price of XNUMX yuan.
▲ The dishes also have prices starting at XNUMX yuan.
▲ The mobile phone reception here is not good, and free wireless Internet access is provided in the shop.
Song Dan Le (Somtum Der Taiwan) is spicy enough
For the first time, I went to eat with the club administrators. Ricky, one of the hosts of Fun Thai North, was familiar with Thai cuisine and helped us order a round of "Must Order" items of Song Dan Music, including a super large platter!For the second time, we went to eat with a family of three. We changed to some of our favorite flavors in Bangkok, such as fried chicken, Thai milk, rice bowls, etc., and the tangy spice flavors that came out on the table one by one. Smell...Ah~ this is it Thai food.
But after a bite, my god!Spicy enough!The spiciness is exactly the same as that of the main store in Bangkok. Of course, the flavors used in the spices are also full. There is nothing to change to the taste of Taiwanese. The hot and sour taste is quite authentic. I am very grateful to the Taiwan branch for sending the chef to learn cooking. The authentic Thai food is brought to Taiwan. Basically, you can eat spicy and Thai food. Song Dan Le is worth a visit. It is highly recommended!
Thai milk tea is also the focus of the inspection. It has the taste of tea, the sweet taste of condensed milk, and is full of ice cubes. It is a pass!But one thing is a bit cold. Before going into the meal for the second time, the service staff at the door read the long "rules", including the 90-minute meal limit, no boiled water, and no food outside. We only let us in after the reading. Remind me again?It seems that we are afraid that we will quarrel with them about these rules, so we can enter only after making sure.
▲ All kinds of drinks in the shop are good!
▲ The service staff saw that there were children, and immediately took the drawings and brushes, thank you! (Hands together)
▲ The desserts in the store are really sweet!
▲ Thai milk has a high degree of reduction.
▲ The signature dish of Northeast Thailand is clear papaya salad.
▲ Please ignore that there is a kid taking pictures weirdly.
Conclusion
I don’t want to go to the newly opened restaurant during the rush hour. Firstly, to test the manpower of the field, and secondly, whether the chef’s cooking is stable enough, it is easy for some reasons to deviate and affect the dining experience, so I choose to eat in the afternoon twice. No guests are super comfortable, and the service staff are also kind and in place. It would be great to be able to eat Thai food comfortably. If you have been to this restaurant, please leave a message and share your experience with me.
