Starters: [Sea Urchin with Charred Baishan Bamboo Shoots and Yuzu Miso Sauce], [Zucchini Soup with Seasonal Seafood and Spanish Chorizo], [Pan-Seared Quail with Beetroot, Lemon Butter, and Quail Sauce].

The second features stir-fried Taiwanese zucchini and onions, simmered with chicken stock and seasonal seafood, finished with distinctive Spanish chorizo for a rich, layered flavor. The third pairs pan-seared quail from Pingtung with vibrant beetroot, balanced by refreshing lemon butter and a hearty quail sauce made from quail bones and vegetables. The main course is [Boston Lobster and Scallop Mousse with Pearl Peas and Lobster Sauce], featuring premium shelled Boston lobster and meticulously crafted scallop mousse, with whole Hokkaido scallops blended into cream, pan-seared to highlight the lobster’s oceanic essence. Lush green pea purée and a warm brandy-infused lobster sauce create a stunning summer visual and flavor experience.

Another main course option is [American Waygu Black Angus Beef Tenderloin, Corn Tortilla, Yilan Sanxing Scallions, Bernaise Sauce, and Makau Pepper]. Selected from the highest grade of Waygu black Angus beef, it offers a firm texture with the signature sweet marbling of American beef. Paired with Yilan Sanxing and pearl scallions, their sweet and mildly pungent notes replace traditional onion and garlic, complemented by classic Bernaise sauce and native Makau pepper, balancing elegance and wildness. Dessert is the chef’s special Qixi treat [Cherry Wine and Chocolate Mousse with Vanilla Ice Cream and Crispy Coconut Shavings]. A dense chocolate cake layered with bitter chocolate mousse, cherry wine cream, and a tangy cherry glaze creates a bittersweet romance that lingers.
