I wish him the very best wherever he ends up next. He will be missed.<br /><br />Guy BeauregardGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293824394397606659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203577587049612151.post-19149503650224445012016-08-07T17:42:21.328+08:002016-08-07T17:42:21.328+08:00I agree that your remarks are thoughtful and refle...I agree that your remarks are thoughtful and reflective of the Taipei and Taiwan in general food scene. Where I disagree is classing Taipei as an international city. There is not a varied or large enough foreigner population to warrant a large fine dining scene. Also local salaries are too low for people to risk their money on a fine dining experience as opposed to a hotel buffet where everyone can get something they enjoy and try a few things they consider as adventure food.

A simple solution to bridge the gap in quality between patrons and restaurateur-offerings would would be an app or website, that offers reviews of (still) affordable 'haute cuisine' reviews. Real diner reviews, spiced with these kind of insights could bring a higher number of appreciative patrons to these establishments and give useful instant feedback to the restaurateurs like Angelo. Just a thought.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147349264591437793noreply@blogger.com
