Right Hand Restaurant
For those who love Thai food, it’s often hard to just go and eat whenever you want, as most Thai restaurants in Taiwan operate on an à la carte basis, making it not very cost-effective to dine alone. The owner of the well-known American-style restaurant Second Floor also loves good food, and based on the shared experiences of many friends and their own, decided to open “Right Hand,” a new-style Thai set meal restaurant. Each set includes classic Thai soup, traditional Thai appetizers, signature side dishes, classic salads, and jasmine rice — so you can fully enjoy Thai cuisine even on your own.

At the restaurant’s launch, there were nine menu items: Spicy Stir-Fried 12-Turn Tacos Pork, Thai Spicy-Sesame Chicken Square, Handmade Green Curry Coconut Chicken, Pad Thai Fried Rice, Classic Lemon Steamed Perch, Southern Thai Curry Chicken, Roll It Up!! Squid Pattaya Fried Rice, Thai-Style Iron Plate Beef, and Tamarind-Crusted Spicy Catfish. Prices range between NT$280 and NT$395. These nine dishes cover the flavors of Northern, Central, and Southern Thailand.

Oh! My Stone
Oh ! My Stone uses high-temperature black stone cast iron to directly sear hand-formed burger patties into spheres, offering a brand-new fusion of BBQ and stone-grilled experiences, allowing customers to enjoy DIY fun. The shop uses premium U.S. Choice beef to make the ground meat, which is then hand-shaped into perfect spheres by skilled chefs — just the right satisfying portion, paired with exclusive seasonings. The meatballs and other ingredients are served on regular iron plates, but the highlight is the 500°C heated black stone cast iron — you place the meat directly on it to grill. One sphere can cook one meatball at a time, and if it cools down, you can ask the staff for a freshly heated replacement.
