Haili

Having honed his skills in some famous kitchens in Taiwan, Chef Kang, a Taipei native, chose to start his first venture in Kaohsiung. With an open kitchen and counter seats, the earth-toned room exudes warmth and understated elegance. The single set menu that is served features local and Japanese produce astutely prepared in Japanese-French style. The menu changes every season but always includes one course inspired by Kaohsiung culture.

What makes it stand out

• Japanese-French technique with a Kaohsiung point of view: a single seasonal set menu built around local produce, with one course shaped by the city's food culture.
• Counter-first experience: an open kitchen and counter seating drive the pacing and the feeling of watching the meal being made.

Ingredient stars

• Seasonal Taiwanese produce and seafood from the Kaohsiung area, treated with fine dining precision.
• Japanese-market ingredients used alongside local produce, reflecting the kitchen's Japanese-French lens.
• Southern Taiwanese pantry notes, used sparingly for depth and locality (the menu regularly nods to Kaohsiung food culture).
