"A one-Michelin-starred contemporary European spot in Taipei, this restaurant whips up modern European fare from chef-proprietor Lam Ming Kin; his romantic creation channels Singapore’s kopi culture with kaya French toast rendered as brioche cubes soaked overnight in egg, coconut milk, pandan leaves, coconut wine and vanilla seeds, then deep-fried until crisp outside and soft within, sprinkled with pandan powder, dipped in soy caramel, and served with espresso ice cream—“It is hard on the outside, but soft and sweet inside, but she will burn you if you’re not careful.”" - Kenneth Goh
