Chamonix new Champs Teppanyaki _ Kaohsiung Wufu shop — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

Some family friends took me last night to eat here. When they told us we were going to a teppanyaki place, I was expecting a raucous experience, a chef with trick flipping, egg spinning, maybe an onion steam volcano, the usual theatrics I'd expect at Benihana. I was blown away by a far better, and much quieter experience. This was classic French cuisine which happened to be served at a teppan restaurant.The chefs all wore white coats and hats with fancy French collar tassels. The sections were quiet and you could hear each other have conservation over the chef working over the griddle. There were two attendants per area to bus tables, refill glasses, and, gasp bring you seconds if you wanted seconds on bread, fried rice, the fancy made drinks, and even the amuse bouche! You pick your vegetable course, soup, Main entree, dessert, and after dinner drink.The meal started with a piece of cheese bread. Nice crust on the outside, buttery, fluffy and warm on the inside. A small starter salad of a few pieces of lettuce, an abalone plated on the half shell, paired with a pineapple relish, sitting on a plate dabbed with a honey Dijon mustard dressing. The plate was a piece of art. That was followed by an amuse bouche of steamed egg in a cup cooked in a lovely chicken consummé or maybe a dashi broth topped with caviar. When I was done, I was asked if I wanted more. More...what? I asked, quizzically. They said I could have seconds. I declined, but I was shocked. I was in for a marathon and not a sprint, and declined offers for more food than what was served. I ordered the French onion truffle soup. Finely shredded lines of onion, with a small puff pastry on top of the broth. Sweet, salty, and hints of truffle oil. Delicate. Balanced. Wonderful. They brought out a frozen lemonade drink and a glass of white grape cider. Fantastic. A little sweet for my taste, but it helped to cleanse the palate. I ordered the mushroom and truffle vegetable course, which was cooked on the griddle top. A mixture of elephant and shimeji mushrooms, cooked, sliced, then cooked again and served with truffle oil and chopped mushrooms in the sauce. Beefy flavor, softened and fully cooked, and delicious. They brought out the fried rice. This was not cooked on the griddle. Fragrant, a little sweet and salty, and laced with mentaiko. Lovely. Our chef was a young female, a joy to watch her knife skills in front of us, with precision and care. Our group had ordered steak tenderloin, a stuffed chicken breast with a large head on shrimp and fish, duck breast and a lobster. It was prepared chef's choice. She was meticulous in searing the skin, preparing a red wine reduction, poaching the apples as the sauce was cooking, then resting the duck on top of the apples, before cutting the duck into pieces, finishing the cooking on the griddle and plating. She prepared 2 chicken breasts, and as she cut into them, some of the vegetables in the stuffing fell out, and she quickly pulled the skin back, replaced the vegetables, then pulled it back over. Surgical and skillful. The skin was crisp. The meat was tender and juicy, perfectly cooked. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. I had watched her cleanly slice with power and precision. The lobster was disappointing by size, though it was cooked perfectly. I should have asked for another piece of bread, because this is the one time I would probably eat a lobster roll. The mayo dressing paired so well with the lobster that the bread would have been perfect. After service was finished, and we were ushered to another table for dessert and an after dinner drink. They brought out a Earl Grey wafer, artistically plated with dabs of mango, strawberry and chocolate sauce. The wafer was a bit hard to cut into, but the cream filling was light and not too heavy on flavor. I ordered an orange sparkling water, which was nice and light, and my host gave me her strawberry "smoothie" which was really a strawberry sorbet with some fresh fruit and chunks of aloe. The service was fantastic and was worth more than the price...

Wanted to try Taiwanese Teppanyaki and saw this place rated pretty well in google. This resto has created SOP on once fine dinning into an affordable dinning experience for the general public. Your main course choices are highly constrained by the resto. You only get to choose between 3 types of meal choices; 1 is for individual with meat but no seafood while the other 2 choices are fixed for 2 person with both meat and seafood. If you have 3 person, your option is constrained to either order 1 set meal for 2-person (with both meat & seafood) and another 1 set for individual (no seafood) or share the 2-person meal among the 3 of you. We found the meat to be tough both in medium and medium well. We felt the resto is more concern for its appetizers, desserts, sparkling (apple cider?), sorbet, and dessert drinks. If you want to have a Teppanyaki experience and not concern with the meat and seafood quality so long as you are full then this resto is good. Our server is quite attentive and her service is very good. We ordered a bottle of wine but we think she is trained to wait for us to finish all of our appetizers, our sparkling something and sorbets which we are not interested; we have to insist the server we want to open and drink the...
