Kyra Cook & Play: Taiwan Eat & Play - Second Meal 台灣食旅-第二餐

This weekend my whole family went to a nice fine dining restaureant in Wu-Lai called 名流水岸 (Ming Liu Shui An). In these years, elite food and dinning style is very popular in Taiwan! But because of the high quality food and service, the price will be also much higher than the usual standard. In this kind of restaurant, the chef will decide the menu in advance depending on the season and the ingredients they bought that day; therefore there are usually only a few set menus to choose from. For instance, this restaurant only has 2 styles to choose from (at the night we went). This style is not so commen in western countries (at least in Holland), so my mom really want to bring my fiance to here to try it~
We were planing to go to another same style restaurant, but that restaurant was fully booked. Compared to the best one, this restaurant's serving speed is a bit too fast (did they want to get rid of us as quickly as possible?), but the quantity of each dish is a bit more than the others~ I might consider this restaurant as a medium-high level in this kind of elite dining restaurants!
這個週末, 全家人一起去了烏來的名流水岸吃大餐~~這是台灣這幾年很流行的一種精緻養生餐廳. 菜單都是餐廳已經設訂好的了, 大約只有2到3種套餐的選擇~ 這種點菜法在國外不常見, 特別帶我的未婚夫來見識一下啦 ~
跟其他家類似的餐廳比起來, 名流水岸的份量算是大的~ 上菜速度也有點太快~ 不過在訂不到其他兩家同性質餐廳的情況下~ 這家也是很錯的精緻用餐選擇喔~

Start with the looks 先來看看餐廳景觀吧~

The outside has a peaceful and beautiful Japanese style decoration 外面是寧靜的日式庭園景觀

When you get inside, you need to take of your shoes, this is quite different from other same style restaurants.進入室內要脫鞋喔~這是其他家同性質餐廳比較不一樣的

Low tables and low chairs~ for a fusion Taiwanese and Japanese feeling 矮矮的桌椅, 很有台式和日式合併的感覺

The inside is full of beautiful floral decoration~ 室內有好多美麗的插花藝術~
