永遠的異鄉人－－The Eternal Outsider

位於知名的奈緒市場邊陲，日式小館Kuishimbo座落在名建築師奧圖華格納所設計的馬悠列卡公寓一樓，或許是因為在奈緒市場裡悠轉的人潮太多，也或許是因為馬悠列卡公寓色彩鮮明的花卉垂葉牆面太過搶眼，店面窄小的Kuishimbo似乎不怎麼顯眼。

這家店是朋友Chanteuse推薦的，看她在噗浪上提過幾次，某回一同去畫杯子後，就近到這裡吃了一次晚餐。當時我點的是炒烏龍麵，但並沒有特別喜愛這道菜，覺得有一點點太乾了。反倒是之後又自行去了幾回，才真的喜歡上這爿小店。

In the famous Naschmarkt neighborhood, the Japanese restaurant, Kuishimbo, sits at the ground floor of the acclaimed Majolikahaus designed by architecture Otto Wagner. Frequently, tourists are too busy looking around in the Naschmarkt, or too overwhelmed by the vivid and colorful floral paintings on the wall of the Majolikahaus to give this tiny restaurant a second look.

This restaurant was actually introduced to me by a friend, Chanteuse, who has mentioned it several times on Plurk. Last time when we went to paint our own mugs at Made-By-You, we had dinner here thereafter. By then, I ordered Yakiudon which was too dry for my taste and thus, failed to impress me much. However, later on, after a few times of revisiting, I start to fall in love with this easily missed restaurant.

就像我們在亞洲所習慣的小店一樣，Kuishimbo沒有一本本正式的菜單，而是將所有菜色貼在牆上，讓客人們依此點菜。由於店面小，偶爾抬頭張望菜單時，會有種「哎呀，好扭」的感覺，不過我個人非常喜歡這種有點親密感似的小店，好似街坊鄰居，很有人情味的感覺。

由父母帶著兒子，一家三口經營著的Kuishimbo，也確實散發出這種「你親切的好鄰居」的氛圍，提供的菜色都比較接近日式家常菜，不走高檔路線，自然價格也算得上可親。點份正餐加杯飲料，一個人的花費約在十歐到十五歐元左右，儘管稱不上超便宜，但就食物質量而言，可說是相當划算。

一如Chanteuse曾在噗浪上提過的，Kuishimbo裡有種自成的天地的氣息，來此用餐的有許多都是常客，也有不少日本人，因此幾乎每次在這裡吃飯，都可聽見老闆和客人不時以日文聊天說笑，恍惚之間，會有種好似不在歐陸的錯覺。

Kuishimbo, like many bistros in Asia, has its menu printed and pasted on the wall, so to check the menu, I often sore my neck muscle due to the narrow space herein. However, I personally like the coziness rendered by such a tiny restaurant which seems like the bistro at the corner down the street of your house.

Kuishimbo, run by a family of three, parents and a son, does provide the "your friendly neighborhood" atmosphere. The family style food are nothing high-end and the prices are affordable. One main dish plus a drink would cost something between 10 to 15 Euros. Not the cheapest you can find, but it's definitely worth it.

Like what Chanteuse has said on Plurk, Kuishimbo is its own universe. A lot of customers here are regulars, among whom many are Japanese; hence, every time I dined here, there would be a regular or two chatting with the owner in Japanese. For one second, I almost thought that I was actually back in Asia.

這裡的炸豆腐，炸皮較一般吃到的軟，雖然有一點感到不習慣，但配的醬挺好吃，非常順口。

The Agedashi Tofu here is slightly too soft for me, but the sauce is really taste.

我相當喜歡這道芥末章魚，滑溜的章魚腳，配上帶一點嗆辣的芥末醬，是非常適合配著啤酒「唰啦」暢飲一口下肚的小菜。

Tako Wasabe is one of my favorite dishes here. The tender crispy squid with spicy wasabe makes it a perfect partner for some cold beer!

不過我個人最喜歡的絕對是這道牛肉烏龍麵，料多湯頭好，每次來這裡吃飯，我都無法抵抗它的誘惑，尤其是在寒冷的冬天裡，看著熱騰騰湧起的煙，更是格外興奮。

My personal favorite of the restaurant is definitely Niku Udon. The broth is so good that I just couldn't resist it, especially on a cold cold winter's day.

我妹也點了親子丼，還附個小菜（海帶），雖然Sunny沒吃到，不過看起來也相當可口，我妹也相當贊許唷。

My sister ordered Oyakodon which comes with a side dish (seaweed). Even though I didn't get to taste it, it does look quit tasty and my sister really likes it, too!
