Really Good Seafood - 真的好海鮮


That's the blurred view by which we saw Zhende Hao Haixian for a number of years. It's visible fairly easily from the train, and we pass it pretty much every time we go anywhere. You can't really see it that well, but it clearly says in enticingly bold print, "Really Good Seafood." Everyone who's been just says that it's really good. Can't argue with that.

So finally for Chinese Valentine's Day, we made the reservation and checked it out. All of the options are nine-course set meals ranging from just under $100 to around $200. Considering how much food usually costs in Taipei, this was surprising, but we'd come too far to come back.

Nine courses come and go like a blur, but between the scallops, the lobster, the several preparations of shrimp, shark's fin soup, fruit jelly, and the lamb chop(?), I can definitively tell you that Really Good Seafood is really good. It's a bit of a tourist trap (they put flags on the table based on what country you're from), but I think our experience has inspired even natives like ba and mama to check it out.
