BOSTON CHOWDA CO.

Delicious New England Comfort Food!

                                                

When people go to visit Boston, they know that they must try the clam chowder and lobster rolls. One of the most popular places to visit, Quincy Market, or Faneuil Hall, houses the renowned Boston Clam Chowder Co. 

In addition to the signature orders, Boston Chowda Co offers a myriad of other options, such as pot pies and seafood rolls. There are also combination and set meals, such as getting the clam chowder and lobster roll for $19.85 USD. 

Faneuil Hall Menu

When I went, I opted for a bowl of clam chowder and a crab salad roll. 

Their clam chowder was extremely savory, made with fresh local surf clams, rich cream, and big chunks of hand cut potatoes. The creaminess was just right, and each sip of the soup was a burst of flavor. 

Clam Chowder

Personally, I would recommend people to order the bread bowl, as the clam chowder and sour dough bread make a superb combination. Their sour dough bread is baked fresh daily. When the bread is eaten together with the clam chowder, both the taste of the bread and chowder are enhanced and richened. 

My mom ordered the lobster roll, which I would recommend over the crab salad roll. The crab salad roll tasted amazing, but the texture was much like potato salad and the crab taste was not very strong. On the other hand, the lobster roll, though more expensive, has big chunks of lobster. The lobster tasted fresh and delightful.

FAMILY PIZZA

Authentic Taiwanese Fire-roasted Pizza!

Magherita Pizza

Family Pizza is arguably one of the most unique pizza stores. Family Pizza has one location: Hsinchu, Taiwan. Located in Jhubei, it is easily accessible by the High Speed Rail. The store itself is cozy, consisting of a wooden lodge where the pizza is freshly baked and a comfortable building for eating. The pizza is delivered straight from the oven to your table.

One's eye is immediately caught by the exotic menu choices, ranging from traditional Taiwanese flavors to dessert pizzas. Different choices for crusts include butter and pineapple flavored!

Compared to pizza chain stores, this store is special and delicious. Each pizza is made-to-order. The ingredients are fresh and infused with flavor. 

This store does not attract all the customers just through the bizarre flavors; the pizza is genuinely tasty. I ordered the classic Margherita Pizza and the Stinky Tofu Pizza. My first impression was that the pizza was not too oily. Instead, the perfect proportion of cheese and ingredients were paired with the thin crust. Normally, I toss out the crust of pizzas, but the crust of Family Pizza is baked to a golden crispy perfection. The Margherita pizza had rich tomato taste; it is an exceptional rendition of the classic. The stinky tofu had a much stronger taste. Stinky tofu lovers will love it. Stinky tofu haters: stay away. The Stinky Tofu Pizza was also pretty spicy, but incredibly flavorful.

I will definitely be coming back to this store until I try everything on their menu. The abundance of choices, quality ingredients, and amicable service makes this one and only store a must-visit.
