Spend a day eating with us in Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung needs more attention for it has the perfect balance of city and slow life, for its amazing xiao long bao, for the choice of bubble tea shops, for its photogenic old district and amazing sunset.

No Menu Local Dining in Tainan

A restaurant serving 8 courses at the fixed price, with a humourous chef and fresh ingredients – I can totally see why it’s started to get listed as one of the things to do in Tainan. Zhuxinju 筑馨居 is located along a quiet alley of old shophouses and it’s just another table of guest and us while we were there for the lunch course. The dinner, on the other hand is always packed.
