Lee & Daughters — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

Price Hike Alert!!

Two persons’ brunch price this morning came to be $960 NT, which breaks down to a 10% service charge, a 400 NT meal (meat balls and salad), a 350 NT salad bowl, and a 150 NT coffee (bland and awful).

The food is doable, however their take on western food is still a far fetch from what I expect from a Western brunch: my salad had gigantic chunks of red peppers and 芭樂, why oh why?

The open kitchen presents a grimy, kinda gross food prep area. The pans are unclean, surface unwiped, and a dusty ceiling showering add-ons into my food. The take-out containers are literally a plastic bag and the most “street-side vendor grade” cups - not what I expect from a $400 NT meal.

Eggs benedict with a layer of soggy cucumber was a bit surprising as well. Not in a good way.

This place might be fine if you are wanting some fusion but not if you're expecting authentic Western food as...

I enjoyed this place so much, I went back a second time for a meal right before my flight back home. First time, I got some chicken in Sichuan pepper oil on fluffy eggs and bread. Second, I got french toast and bacon. Both were phenomenal. The bread in particular was nicely done. Fluffy, perfect texture, full of flavor. Both dishes came with fresh salads and delicious dressings. The vegetables were varied and generous and clearly thoughtfully chosen, as they were all perfect and fresh. The Sichuan chicken dish was my favorite of the two I had. Really incredible stuff. And to top it off, the two women working there were super friendly. They made me forget that we spoke different...
