With countless American-style brunch spots around, this “Japanese-style brunch” stands out as particularly appealing. Located at a bustling street corner, it maintains a serene atmosphere. In addition to its Japanese-inspired interior design, the dishes are prepared by the owner, who packs a bento for her husband every day. With careful ingredient selection and creative plating, the menu radiates happiness and leaves diners feeling full of energy.

Owner Liu Xiuqin said that from the beginning, she wanted to create a shop where customers would smile — a sense of healing was an essential element. Although she doesn’t come from a culinary background, her love for cooking led her to carefully prepare her husband’s bento every day. She hopes that he will feel surprised when he opens it amid his busy schedule. As for ingredients, she says: “Avoid overusing seasonings, so you can actually taste the layers of the food.” For example, the daily soup at the shop must be made the day before with potatoes, milk, and vegetables — simple but not careless.
The ingredients used in the dishes are also very clear. For instance, the “Sunshine Good Food” brunch includes fried shrimp, chicken drumsticks, hot dog balls, egg salad bread, as well as freshly handmade taro paste and fries. There’s also a fruit-based salad. Beyond the rich variety of ingredients, what’s most important is Liu Xiuqin’s spontaneous “creative plating,” which features cute and thoughtful designs that instantly evoke a healing sensation.

The “Pig. Little Pig Dishes” in the small bowl feature shredded cabbage and curry mixed into a baked egg, with hidden vegetables enhancing the flavor, along with items like corn, okra, and more. The “Wildberry Tender Chicken Ciabatta” comes with a self-made red wine wildberry sauce that Liu Xiuqin is very proud of. Paired with crispy fried chicken, it’s not too greasy or dry, and the slightly sweet sauce perfectly balances the flavors — highly recommended.
