Their rice noodles was so good!  I never had such good rice noodles in my life!

Their service was very nice too。

We had such a good experience there, we would visit them again if We come back to Taiwan.😋

We had the Mei tasting menu and it was a good experience. Reasonable price, a lot of courses. All of the flavours were very delicate and well balanced. With the exception of one dish which the waiter explained was specifically designed to be very strong. Good presentation too.

Service was pretty slow and I had to remind them if ordered a drink after waiting 30 min without getting anything.

I selected this one as it features some dishes that require delicate work that’s not commonly available elsewhere. The interior is clean and comfy.
A few dishes require reservations and its dining reservations also ask your credit card guarantee when you try online!
All dishes are fresh and look nice by appearance. The taste is light, not too salty at all, so the flavor is presented quite originally. Each dish was introduced properly and the waitresses did check frequently our demand. Was a great dining experience!

A Michelin starred restaurant serving traditional Taiwanese. We went for their set menu which included a few of their signatures. In general, it fell short of my expectations. The food was of a good quality but it didn't wow, neither in taste nor in food presentation. I did enjoy the Roasted Suckling Pig which was served in 3 ways - crackling skin (1 pc each only), meat and ribs, shredded meat in Gua Bao. The traditional fried bee hoon was delish too, so basic, so simple but yummy, using their local bee hoon that's more bouncy in texture. The dessert was also interesting, first time having grass jelly in pure liquid form instead of the solidified jelly and to have it with crushed peanuts added a different dimension. I was disappointed though that they didn't ask about nut allergy, not that I have it but I expected that of a Michelin star restaurant charging S$160 per pax.

Reservations required and some dishes require advance ordering too.
