I read the reviews on Google so I thought I give this restaurant a try. When I arrived I was told I had 3 options the $1000 NT, $1200 NT, and the $1500. I was perplexed. I saw the pictures on Google Reviews so I asked what was in the 3 options. The hostess said it would be determined by the chef. Yes, it is one of those restaurants that charges you money for dinner and then serves dishes they want to serve you. The hostess would not tell me what were the dishes in the option I chose. The options were surprises that I would not have ordered. The dishes were not outstanding, but they were different. What I did not like was the crab. It was a little Asian crab. In the US we have larger (normal size) crabs. In the US there is enough crab meat for you to get a taste and be satisfied. The cook did a good job cooking the tiny Asian crab. The crab was fried in a light sprinkling of flour and sautéed in a flavorful sauce. The crab had no meat. There was one large claw. Once you maneuvered the shell away you got a descent amount of crab meat from that one large fiddler-like crab claw. The rest of crab had flakes of meat. The sauce was great but you can't taste the crab meat. I love crab. I had eaten these tiny Asian crabs before. It was disappointing then and it was disappointing at this restaurant. The orange roe in the crab had an intense flavor, so I did enjoy the roe. Even though there was very little roe. Lastly the desert was made from something I did not like. I tried to eat it but I gave up. I had a similar experience in Norway. At least in Norway I got to choose the dishes. Here I spent $1500 NT and I was not allowed to choose my dishes. Sort of like communism. You are told by the Politburo what you should like. What you actually like does not matter.
