My first experience with this 2-star French by Kai Ho, a protégé of Julien Royer from Odette. It only took me 7 years after they opened.

Dishes and flavors inspired by chef's childhood memories of eating local Taiwanese fare. I must say I didn't quite get some of them. There were, of course, a couple of standout dishes... but not enough.

Full account of my dinner is here: https://www.diarygrowingboy.com/2023/02/scratching-7-year-itch.html
