Every visit to Tiao Shi brings new revelations, and my latest to Branch #2 brought plenty, beginning with a seafood rice in a brown sauce that’s decorated with scallions, fermented black beans, and what seems like hundreds of oyster bellies; or a bottle of 2010 languedoc wine that pairs surprisingly well with this seafood and is ultimately probably the best $40 you can spend on restaurant wine on the island.

Beef with enoki mushrooms gets a surprising fruity kick, as well as plenty of acidity, from its sour but hot pao jiao peppers. whole coriander seeds add another aromatic dimension, and little tied-up packages of glass noodles add a textural one.

Very crispy fried squid with ketchup hits the spot, as do even the simplest dishes of lettuces and tofu that are somehow perfect, with addictive savory length and unexpected complexity.

The service, atmosphere, and even background music is a notch above the competition. This is the most consistently delicious table in town.

每次到访‘挑食’餐厅都有新发现，这次到了他们的泉州路上的店面也是收获了蛮多新体验。他们的食物和葡萄酒令人意想不到的完美搭配在一起。

我很喜欢他们的牛肉香菇，里面有种水果的味道，还有其它的像炸鱿鱼等等。整体的来说，这里的服务、氛围、和甚至是背景音乐都是非常上乘的。可以说是小岛上一直让我很喜欢的一家餐厅。
