Located on Hainan Street in the Xinxing District of Kaohsiung, "Fude Bistro" is a very popular gastropub. The name sounds quite Taiwanese, but it actually offers Western cuisine XD.
Due to the high quality of the food and the very comfortable environment, it's not easy to get a reservation. If you plan to visit, be sure to book in advance. During this special visit, I ordered squid ink risotto, where the rice absorbed the fresh flavor of the squid ink, combined with the salty aroma of the sausage and small squid, resulting in a rich layered texture and an excellent taste. This dish is highly recommended here.
In addition to the risotto, the fish-flavored cheese baked egg also performed remarkably well. The baked egg was creamy, paired with a rich cheese aroma, making every bite satisfying. This dish is a great option as either a main course or a side dish. The bread is also worth mentioning; it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, especially perfect when paired with the risotto or baked egg.
For dessert, I tried their ice cream, which was quite expensive and made me wince a little at the cost, but it was smooth and richly flavored, definitely worth a try.
Although there are other dishes in the photos, I only took pictures of my friends' meals, so I won’t comment on those 😆.
The environment at Fude Bistro is also very comfortable, making it suitable for gatherings with friends or dates for couples. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the lighting is soft, making it a great place to unwind.
# Beef Lasagna
This dish has a lot of meat!
You can see a thick layer of beef cheek from the side.
The crust on top is crispy grilled cheese.
There's a generous amount of tomato sauce on the side, which has a lighter flavor.
However, paired with the strong main ingredient, it's just right!
You won't get tired of finishing it alone.
If I really had to mention a downside, it would probably be the utensils?
The cheese is grilled so crispy that it's hard to cut into bite-sized pieces with the knife. 🤣
# Truffle Flavored Cheese Chicken Risotto $320
The flavor is perfectly balanced, rich but not overwhelming.
Each grain of rice is coated with sauce.
There’s some firmness to the rice; the menu states you can request it softer if you like.
But I think it’s just right; it wouldn't be bad if it were a bit firmer.
The chicken is cut into small pieces inside the rice.
It seems to be chicken breast but incredibly tender—impressive.
# Belizean Rum Tiramisu $120
The cake base is on the moist side.
There are no cookies at the bottom, but there's Oreo on the side for added texture.
I usually don’t have much feeling towards Belizean rum.
This dish has a subtle rum flavor; personally, I prefer tiramisu with a stronger alcohol taste.
But I really like this flavor too! You should order it!
# Churros with Valrhona Chocolate Sauce $120
The last time I had a similar dish was at AKAME in Pingtung.
I can’t believe I can have it again in Changhua, haha!
The churros don't have a cinnamon flavor; I feel like it's missing a flavor here.
But friends who don’t like cinnamon will probably be very happy, haha!
This restaurant in the white city of Thorn offers a great fine dining experience in a historical setting. Located directly next to an abbey church and within a former noble house dining in a special atmosphere is guaranteed, whether dining inside or outside.
The menu is always a surprise one of either 3, 4, 5 or 6 courses. Every course consists of a beautifully and detailed arranged set up of various components and flavors. Speaking of flavors, every course had so much to explore while at the same time every single part matches to the whole composition.
Of course there is a wine accompaniment available too with a wine matching every course.
The service was very good, super friendly and explaining every course in detail.
We had a wonderful dinner in a beautiful atmosphere with amazing food. Definately a recommendation.
【Taipei Wanhua】Le Ye Food
The staff at this restaurant are very proactive, and the food is delicious 😋.
It's not only suitable for a full meal but also great for having afternoon tea with friends.
I recommend the mochi waffles 🧇, which are cut into eight pieces per serving. If there are two people, you can also order a four-piece combo to try four different flavors.
Main meals come with a drink and also offer plain water.
This is a place worth revisiting 👍🏻.

Osaka Shiomi Bashi Station - Hidden on the second floor of an unassuming apartment is a high-quality little restaurant with a comforting Japanese wabi-sabi zen atmosphere. The food quality is excellent, highly recommended for friends visiting Osaka!
We arrived around nine in the morning, and at that time, only breakfast was available (9:00-11:00, last order at 10:00).
The three of us ordered the following dishes:
📍 Mozzarella Bratwurst Hot Dog / Coffee or Tea ¥990
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
This dish features a sausage sandwich made with crispy European bread, spread with butter for balance, paired with smoked sausage, an egg, and lettuce. It's a relatively simple breakfast.
For drinks, you can choose coffee or tea (iced or hot).
📍 Toast Set - Today's Bread with 3 Sides / Coffee or Tea ¥1100
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖
This dish is incredibly delicious! The sandwich is filled with tuna, cheese, and vegetables, creating a rich filling that pairs perfectly with the crispy bread. Although it is a bit salty, it is still outstanding! Served with lettuce and sweet peppers on the side, this is a well-balanced and superb dish!
📍 Sea Bream and Olive Rice / Seasonal Soup / Hojicha ¥990
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
A small piece of sea bream rests on top of seasoned rice. The rice is extremely flavorful and fragrant! The soup is made of okra vegetables with a hint of pickled cucumbers, making it very heartwarming to sip while enjoying the hot soup 🥰.
📍 Cheesecake ¥580
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
The cheesecake is topped with cheese powder, creating a rich cheese aroma. It isn’t overly sweet, which is fantastic! The texture is somewhat similar to that of a cheese spread, making it highly recommended for dessert ❤️.
▶️ Environment
🔹 The restaurant has a comfortable space with a zen-like wooden decor, seating about 13 people.
🔹 Once seated, the staff promptly offers iced water.
🔹 After dining, you settle your bill at the end.
▶️ Overall Evaluation
🔹 The ambiance of the restaurant is very refined, the food quality is great, and the prices are reasonable. It was recommended by a friend, and we were very satisfied with our visit. Additionally, besides breakfast, there are options for lunch and dinner, and I would like to return to try other dishes!
A western restaurant with a leaning towards pork, located in the 1 utama shopping complex. You can reach there via car or even mrt train.
We reach at a time for a early dinner so there wasn't too many ppl but already half the restaurant was filled. A very nice clean, sophisticated ambience, making it very nice for dates or a catch up session with old friends. The only thing abit sad was that the location in the mall spoils the ambience abit 😅 Would definately have more feelings in a upscale area.
Service was good and the food came at a acceptable pace. There is also a loyalty program with discounts to encourage you to come back.
The cream of mushroom was full of earthy flavours and delicious. Had a pint of carlsberg as its was right at the end of happy hour. If beer isnt your thing, there are alot of different wine to try.
You must order their signature pork dishes. The meat was well cooked and flavourful. The fatty parts especially so. Sauce was on point and completed with some grilled veggie that was just ok for me.
The spagetthi was good as well, though my wife said it was abit salty for her. No problems for me though.
Overall will definitely recommend this place and a must have is one of their signature pork dishes 😋
The boss lady is quite enthusiastic and there isn't much sense of distance. However, it seems there aren't enough staff in the restaurant, so waiting for food inside will take some time.
This year's menu has become quite limited, and the prices for the items are steadily increasing. The most basic pasta with not many ingredients costs 200 NT dollars. The pasta with flying fish roe sausage and XO sauce costs 320 NT dollars. In terms of price, it really feels a bit too expensive, and after eating, there’s a sense of emptiness. Moreover, drinks are not included at this price point.
However, I find the space in the restaurant to be quite comfortable, giving a very welcoming feeling. There are also many cat-related facilities in the dining area, indicating that the boss lady is quite a cat lover.
📍Coordinates: Shanghai, China
This time to celebrate my birthday,
I especially found a restaurant with a view in Shanghai. This restaurant is located in a very inconspicuous building. Some of the internal floors are even fenced off under construction. The front entrance can only go to the Bund 333 hotel floor of what seems to be a related group. The counter directed us to other entrances. Only then did we find the correct door from the back of the building and take the elevator.
At the same time, there was another delivery boy who got lost with us, and the relevant signs were really unclear😓
The restaurant is located on the 26th floor. After going upstairs, I was surprised that there is such a beautiful restaurant in such a building. Could it be that the dilapidated environment in front and the twists and turns in the route are all to create a sense of surprise in the back? ?
We were seated around 18:30. It doesn’t get dark so quickly in Shanghai in the summer. This time is just right. We can see the Bund during the day and at night. We have a panoramic view of Lujiazui, and we can also see the Waibaidu Bridge next to it. It’s really beautiful. ah! Invincible night view~
The night before, when I was walking downstairs with others on the Bund, I was thinking where on earth were the rich people watching the night view? Looking at this scenery now, I think this is where it is!
The waiter's service was very good. He immediately brought us the menu and we were waiting for our order. After looking at our menu for a long time, we still had no idea. He immediately and kindly recommended that we check out Dianping (yes, it's Dianping) for some more cost-effective set meals. You can purchase it directly above.
Finally we chose:
Wellington set meal for two (¥998) includes
-French sparkling wine or red wine*2 glasses
Both of them ordered sparkling wine. They didn't know much about wine. There were too many types of red wine and they couldn't taste anything. It was safest to order sparkling wine, which was pretty good.
-Bread before meal
-Tender grilled octopus with garlic mayonnaise
-Dalian scallops with sturgeon caviar and passion fruit orange juice
-Morch Beef Consommé2 servings
-Beef Wellington
-Molecular gastronomy hot spring egg with Spanish ham and sauteed mushrooms with black truffle
-Fried vegetables
-Chef’s Dessert2 servings
The dishes are described in detail in the pictures. Overall, they are quite delicious. However, I think the food presentation, environment, and night view of the restaurant are more outstanding than the food itself. Maybe because it is considered high-end Western food, the relative expectations will be higher.
Most of the diners were couples celebrating, and there were also a few tables for company dinners. It is highly recommended to dine here. You can comfortably enjoy the night view of the Bund. The overall experience is very good. I give it four stars🌟.
In addition, there are no other special offers in the birthday section except for a free birthday cake, for your reference.
A restaurant located next to the white rock coast in the suburbs of Vancouver
Is the food here delicious? I think the concept is that the scenery is greater than the food 😂
It really has an invincible sea view. Sit in the outdoor area and enjoy the warm but not hot sunshine in Vancouver's summer, and then look at the sea.
My whole mood got better
But let’s talk about the meal part.
Oyster pasta: But since there was no seafood that day, the clerk asked if he could substitute it with shrimps. He had no other choice but to agree.
But it still tastes good. The pasta is very chewy and chewy without feeling battery. The sauce also matches the taste of seafood, which is very refreshing.
The shrimp part is fresh, and overall it is very delicious.
Vienna schnitzel: I really don’t know how to translate this. If anyone knows, please help me translate it...
I've had this in Austria before. It seems to be the food there. It's probably very, very, very thin fried pork chops, right? Overall, it's okay, but I think it's a little too oily, and I still prefer Japanese-style thick pork chops, so this tastes very unsatisfying. The purple cabbage next to it is... hard to describe.
But I think it’s a matter of personal taste. The food is pretty good. People who like this dish can still order it.
Conclusion: It’s a restaurant worth recommending, but if there is no outdoor seating next time I might not come in XD Because half of the reason is the beautiful scenery
The salmon sauce is very delicious. This time I specifically asked for it to be fully cooked. I didn't expect that it would still be quite delicious without losing the taste of the whole salmon.
The baby cabbage with roasted vegetables is quite delicious.
Scallop stew has a strong seafood flavor, but it is still a delicious dish.
The beef tongue of the red wine beef tongue is thick, and paired with onions, the overall taste is quite ordinary.
The filet mignon was also on par.
But the most disappointing part of the whole store is the bad feeling it gives customers!
Went for a meal with two friends and ordered two meals, an appetizer, a vegetable and a drink. The waiter told me that if I ordered two rice dishes, I would be too full and should order something else. So I followed the advice and deleted one rice dish and ordered something else. As a result, I was not full and had to add more.
Later, I thought about it and thought it was the store's trick. Anyway, I won't go there again!
Even though the transportation is convenient, it is close to the city hall MRT station and is just a short walk away. But it feels so bad.
