Kaohsiung's Insane Restaurant: Smoke-Emitting Ice Cream Hot Pot & Stargazing Cocktails by the Love River

Reported by Hu Shaofu / Kaohsiung

Nestled by the Love River in Kaohsiung, MORE WORLD International Riverside Restaurant has been a favorite among locals and tourists alike for over four years, thanks to its prime location and delicious cuisine. In addition to selling unique goods brought back by the owner from abroad, the restaurant features a ball pit beloved by kids, and the owner even offers Zi Wei Dou Shu (Chinese astrology) readings—making it truly one-of-a-kind. The food is not only visually stunning but also incredibly tasty. Beyond the dreamy stargazing cocktails, the luxurious fruit ice cream hot pot is another must-try dessert.
