Tang Gong reeks of old school from the tablecloths to the chairs to the green carpet to the senior citizen waiters. But I still love coming to this place. It’s like time traveling back to the 70’s.
Plus it has the best Mongolian barbecue in Taipei.
Even the signage is so retro
I’ve been coming to this place since I was a chubby little girl.
And I plan to come every chance I get now that I’ve grown into a big fat woman.
The SOP remains the same:
1. Get a bowl. Pile it up with your choice of meat. There’s chicken, venison, pork,
mutton and beef. I go for the gamey ones – venison, mutton and beef.
2. For a balanced meal, pile lots of veggies on top of the meats.
As for me, I pile a lot of veggies to cover how much meat I got.
3. Season your bowl. I add every single thing on offer.
4. Admire your bowl. See? No meat at all! 
5. Surrender your bowl to the barbecue masters and drool as you wait
6. Wipe that drool and accept God’s delicious blessings
And most important of all…
EAT LIKE A MAN!
I am a good girl who follows rules so I eat like a big, fat, burly man.
My second bowl has more meat, less veggies.
I stuff the meat into these hot sesame buns
Every bite is a bite of yum
But, of course, I do not stop there.
On the table sits this bronze instrument where I shabu-shabu more meat
Lamb, fatty bacon beef and kangkong
Plus other good things like fish ball, shrimp ball, meat ball, shrimp wonton,
cuttlefish wonton, etc. etc.
Make your own shabu-shabu sauce
We end the meal with Taiwanese desserts
My very own creation, Chinese halo-halo: green beans, ai yu, grass jelly, red beans,
taro and sweet potato balls
Hot grass jelly. Drink it fast while hot or it becomes warm grass jelly blob.
My cousin busy busy playing. I busy busy eating.
Very proud to announce I beat my own record again.
