🍝 Kaohsiung Sanmin ▫️ Kaohsiung Medical University Business District
🍝 An Italian pasta restaurant where you can adopt cats

This affordable Italian pasta restaurant located near Kaohsiung Medical University
I have probably visited at least three times since it opened.
Even if I don't dine in, I've donated canned food or supported their calendars,
Hoping to do my part for the cats in their care. 💪🏻

Although it is a cat adoption restaurant,
Every time I visit, it's very clean.
Whether it's the first floor without cats or the second floor where cats play,
There are no unpleasant odors affecting our appetite. 🐈

This time, my family, who aren't particularly fond of cats,
We made a reservation in advance and let the restaurant know to sit on the first floor.
Fortunately, there’s online booking (via inbox on their Facebook page).
Soon after we arrived, we noticed the sign at the entrance flipped to "open,"
And saw many students who looked like they were from Kaohsiung Medical University coming to dine,
Making it feel quite popular in this area. ❤️

This time, my family and I ordered
Completely different types of pasta.

➰ Spicy Garlic Shrimp Pasta 299
This dish has a mild spiciness level 🌶️
It’s suitable for friends who can handle a little spice.
The fresh shrimp received high praise from my family 🦐
They kept saying they hadn't tasted such flavors for a long time.

➰ Creamy Salted Egg Chicken Pasta 289
The salted egg yolk was quite a creative twist on the dish. 🥚
But I happen to love this type of item.
The sauce here is a bit on the wetter side,
The noodles maintain their chewy texture, and the chicken breast is tender.
Overall, the flavor is slightly above average. 🤏🏻

Like most restaurants,
This place also offers upgrade sets for 79 or 129 NT dollars,
But we were worried about getting too full, so we just ordered soup on the side. 😆

Before we left, I couldn't help but excuse myself to use the restroom,
And headed to the second floor to check on a few of the recent cats in their care.
The cats are not shy at all and super cute.
If anyone is interested in adopting a cat,
You might want to drop by and take a look! ✨
