Oh god I am flabbergasted at this place...the building is great and the decor is pretty nice. Service was ok. They seated me on the 2nd floor but there was no server dedicated to this floor. If I needed anything I had to go downstairs and ask for it. Worst part was there was hair in both my salad AND main course...Salad came first, I saw the hair and they told me they would remake it. The rice came after and there it was, another hair nestled in the pumpkin...the waiter said it was part of the corn husk. So I peeled off a corn hair and put them side by side for comparison. You can see it in the pic. The brown short one was the corn hair, and the longer one was someone else's hair. At this point I lost al my appetite...and they said they would remake the food...it's rather pricey here too. I hope they improve...
Read moreOne of the many boutique cafes in Taipei. I was visiting Taipei and just walked in to fuel up after a long walk. Nice ambiance and not too busy. Good place for relaxing or for meeting other people. Good selection of coffee and tea.
I ordered a sparkling coffee - nothing wrong with the coffee but having drink it, I think I will stick with regular "flat" coffee. It is a bit too novel for my taste. The dessert is quite good. My friend ordered a meal item - the portion is a bit small but otherwise good. One thing I noticed is that almost all places have a minimal charge for sit-in dining. This place is NT$300.
I am not an expert reviewer in this dining option so please cross reference other local expert reviewers if you are...
Read moreA cute quiet and cozy restaurant tea house. I was quite surprised to find such a cozy quiet spot next to a busy main shopping street.
The selection of teas was varied with many local varieties and served with the teapot, a mini carafe and tea cup. Free to refill.
The entrees were substantial, well presented and delicious. Reasonably priced as well.
My personal favorite was the pound cake dessert which looks heavy but is surprisingly light with aromatic whipped cream containing ground tea leaves.
Cute place for a date or light...
