Beitou Hot SpringsThe ultimate compact luxury resort hotelVilla 32We're off to enjoy a special Italian dinner at "The Restaurant," the all-day dining restaurant!
As evening approaches and the hotel is bathed in a shimmering blue sky, it reveals a different side of itself than during the day, becoming imbued with a romantic atmosphere!
At "The Restaurant," Executive Chef Jimmy Chen, 50 years old, serves traditional Italian cuisine using carefully selected ingredients from Taiwan and around the world. It was also featured in the restaurant section of the "Michelin Guide Taiwan," which was just released in March 2018!
On this day, the food criticCost QiTogether with [Name], we'll be enjoying a special dinner course featuring plenty of seasonal asparagus! First, a toast with Champagne!
They are smart, hospitable, and provide a pleasant customer service experience.Guo ChezhongEason's serve!
"Stuzzichino & Antipasti"
The appetizers include grissini and homemade bread, and the antipasto, served on driftwood, is bite-sized and easy to eat. The selection includes rich duck liver, squid ink and squid mousse, mushroom pie, beet macarons and kobish, shrimp and green olives, and beef tartare. Each dish is visually appealing and has an elegant flavor!
"Bisque and seafood and white asparagus"
Using the same ingredients, the menu offers two types of dishes—soup and savory dishes—creating expressive menus that make the most of the ingredients!
Enjoy the delicate sweetness and aroma of white asparagus in this rich bisque, along with extra-thick white asparagus that has been grilled to retain its perfect texture. This dish is served with three sauces: white asparagus, mushrooms, and shrimp!
"Iberian ham BELLOTA 5J with white asparagus"
Chef Jimmy himself carves and finishes the presentation of the finest Spanish Bellota ham, aged for 40 months! The ham has a smooth texture and melts in your mouth, offering a fragrant aroma and rich flavor! Served with crisp boiled white asparagus and a green salad!
"Shrimp and scallop with squid ink and white asparagus"
A dish where both the tableware and the food are presented in a completely black, soot sprite-like style!
Shrimp and scallops are deep-fried in a squid ink batter, and white asparagus is also dyed with squid ink. The sauce that emerges from the wobbly spheres made of squid ink can be enjoyed with four different flavors: green asparagus, white asparagus, seafood, and shrimp!
Beef Noodles
A surprising twist on Taiwan's famous beef noodle soup: using homemade pasta!
Since Japanese Wagyu beef is now permitted in Taiwan, Miyazaki beef, known for its fine texture, is prepared to perfection. When the soup is added, it creates a refined and delicious beef noodle soup with a delicate flavor and concentrated umami that you've never tasted before!
"Iberian pork cap with port wine reduction"
Enjoy the juicy flavor of Iberico pork simply roasted!
Diced potatoes coated in squid ink, served with a green asparagus sauce and a reduced port wine sauce!
"US Prime Ribeye with Mushrooms"
Enjoy tenderly roasted American prime ribeye served with onion pickles and mushroom puree!
These adorable white mushroom-shaped treats will surprise you when you taste them! They're made with salted meringue! Enjoy them with a ribeye steak!
"Dessert & Coffee"
These visually stunning, bite-sized cakes come in a variety of flavors: hazelnut and vanilla, lavender, lemon ball, mango, lychee mousse, and matcha! I enjoyed a different selection during afternoon tea, but with such a wide variety of desserts, every single one is an absolutely delicious treat that will leave you completely satisfied!
After dinner, General Manager Frankie Lau will give you a tour of the hotel!
A precious and expensive power stone, "Hokutolite," is displayed in the front lobby!
Dr. Kihachiro Takahara, a medical doctor, showed me his book, "The Record of the Amazing Healing Power of Hokutolite from Tamagawa Onsen," which details his research and findings on the history of Hokutolite from Tamagawa Onsen, which contains natural radium!
They actually let me touch an amazing power stone that emits natural radium!
When you measure the radiation level with a radiation detector, you get a shocking reading, but even just touching it gives you a considerable amount of heat, which is a truly surprising experience!
In addition, the lobby is decorated with antique chairs that are over 100 years old, and the owner's favorite New York-based Taiwanese artist...Chihung YangAbstract paintings of ) will be on display!
Furthermore, they gave us a special tour of their wine cellar, a dream come true for any wine lover. It featured a rare 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, as well as Chateau Petrus from various vintages, and many other outstanding vintages, making for an astonishing collection to enjoy!
Still buzzing with excitement, I returned to my room, filled the bathtub with hot spring water, and enjoyed a relaxing time soothing in the sulfur springs before falling into a deep, deep sleep!
