Crossing Boat Restaurant — Restaurant in Islands District

It was an honour and a pleasure to join the Tai O food tour held by Tai O Heritage hotel because we got to try different joints in the lanes of Tai O.

Tai O is a lovely town on water which is themed as a Chinese Venetian with stilt houses on water.

Price was on the high side, but worth the...
