A Newly Opened Upscale Bistro Hidden on the Second Floor of a Hotel in Taichung

📍粕 Bo Bistro & Cafe | West District, Taichung
✨ As an artist frequently traveling between Taipei and Taichung, I’ve found my inspiration haven in this bistro tucked away on the second floor of a hotel! The name "Bo" comes from the sediment in the sake brewing process, symbolizing the brand's extension of "fermentation" culture into its dishes and space. The menu offers a fusion of exotic Western flavors and Taiwanese cultural tastes, while the ambiance creates a romantic and undisturbed dining experience at any time of the day. Perhaps this is the tangible representation of "fermentation" culture.

▪️ Must-Try Creative Dishes
🥪 Kung Pao Century Egg Sandwich:
A surprising combination of fried toast, century egg, and yogurt sauce. The golden, crispy toast is not greasy at all! This is a must-try.

🍗 Kimchi Truffle Roasted Half Chicken:
Juicy chicken paired with truffle cream sauce. The moment you cut into it, the juices burst out.

🍤 Spicy Garlic Shrimp:
It feels like Taiwanese pepper shrimp has traveled to Spain to become garlic shrimp. The spicy oil enhances the shrimp’s aroma! Absolutely delicious and a must-order! (You’ll want to ask for a bowl of rice.)

Pro Tip: Dip dried fruit bread into the spicy oil for a sinful yet satisfying treat.

🍗 Taiwanese Three-Cup Chicken Wrap:
At first glance, it looks like a Michelin-starred French dish, but one bite reveals the familiar flavors of sesame oil and rice wine! The taste is astonishing, and the chicken is incredibly tender and flavorful.

A fulfilling meal that recharges an artist’s mind with inspiration! Tag the person you’d most like to share a romantic dinner with~
