It's really a very good meal. It's very consistent with the Michelin restaurant. The boss also gave me two days to finish two meals. The location is also convenient in Kaohsiung. It's not far from the Wan Chai light rail station. It's worth trying. It's already my third time. This was my second choice and I purchased it.
