These places always suck anyway. I’ve been to a couple of these super expensive restaurants and was disappointed by both. They put way more money into decor and presentation than actual taste.
I looked it up on google, some reviews give it one star last few days but before it was near 5*****, but to me still not worth the price. Here in KHH, I went to a Euro place that was T$15,000 , most I paid here and not worth it at all. The Taco shop I would visit since it’s cheap ( can get 1,000+ tacos for £468)
The expensive faux-European places here especially suck. I’ve made the comment before that I’ve been to a number of awful yet expensive “Italian” restaurants run by Taiwanese celebrity chefs who add shit like corn and orange slices to their microwaved pasta dishes. It’s a travesty.
Honestly, here and abroad the best restaurants I’ve been to are fairly inexpensive. I’m not talking about the dirt cheap lunchbox places, but reasonable… my favorite place around here does great noodle dishes for about 180 NTD. Fancy places usually run on novelty and hype. All style, no substance.
Did you mention it to him/her, maybe time them get a cat (I was at a day market, my co worker told shop cute cat, they said it works at night!, rats are gone)
Here’s a fascinating look at elderly bakers in Japan, the first one needs some help to clean their place. Really hard working.
Honestly their eclairs and paofu looked awesome and cheap as hell , nowhere they sell out so fast. Would you guys eat there knowing the condition of the bakery (first one, not the second one ?
