Executive Chef Li Yunhao, from the Michelin one-star Fu Lam Hotel in Beijing, has introduced a wide variety of à la carte dishes, offering diverse options and constantly introducing new ones. Both set menus and à la carte options are available. The latest addition, the "Amber Crispy Golden Feather Duck," features a leg that, when cut open, reveals a burst of juicy, fragrant meat. The skin is crispy, the meat tender and juicy, with a springy texture that intensifies with each chew. The Thick Soup with Bamboo Fungus and Wonton Chicken is different from other thick chicken soups. The broth is rich in collagen, achieved by simmering a large amount of corn, chicken feet, and pig's trotters. It's incredibly flavorful without any gamey taste, complemented by tender wontons, bamboo fungus, and succulent spring chicken – every bite is satisfying. I previously tried the Double-Flavor Pigeon, which was also excellent. Stuffing the pigeon leg with bird's nest is a truly refined technique. The pigeon, stir-fried with Sichuan peppercorns, is fragrant and juicy. The stir-fried shark fin with osmanthus flowers is also very flavorful with its wok hei (wok aroma), and the pipa tofu is made in a traditional way, bursting with juice when you bite into it.

Chef Li's dishes are rich in flavor and layered in texture. They offer set menus and à la carte options, greatly increasing flexibility. The private rooms are also very comfortable and worth a return visit.

Thanks to my friend for the invitation to visit Kaohsiung! JunGEN is headed by Executive Chef Li Yunhao, a Michelin one-star chef specially invited from the Beijing Fulim Hotel. Chef Li has over 30 years of experience and is very friendly. It was his first time visiting Taiwan, so if you want to taste Chef Li's cooking, or if you happen to have an important banquet or anniversary, this restaurant offers Michelin-level Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisine in Kaohsiung – give it a try! The most unique dish is the double-flavored pigeon (pigeon leg stuffed with bird's nest/pigeon breast stir-fried with fresh Sichuan peppercorns and milk). The pigeons used are plump and juicy, aged 12 to 18 days. The most impressive part is how he separates the pigeon leg and breast: the pigeon leg is meticulously stuffed with bird's nest flavored with ham, then drizzled with oil until the skin is as crisp as glass. Biting into it, the thin, crispy skin and the savory flavor of the tender bird's nest intertwine – it's practically a work of art. The pigeon breast meat is minced into chicken and shrimp paste, then stuffed and pan-fried. Finally, it is seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns to bring out the aroma. It is tender and delicious, offering two flavors in one pigeon. "JunGen" has an elegant space and exquisite service, making it worth a visit!

I had a truly impressive dining experience in Kaohsiung. The overall quality of the food was excellent, but above all, the service was outstanding. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Server Elaine in particular. She explained the menu and dishes with great professionalism and attention to detail, and I was deeply touched by the kind and comfortable atmosphere she created throughout the meal. Thanks to her, it was not just a simple meal, but a truly special experience that I will remember fondly. It was a restaurant with excellent food, service, and atmosphere, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kaohsiung. It was the best meal that makes me want to visit again. It is a limited time for high-income people. The reason for the movement of the body and the water is different from the outside world. People with different ideas and feelings Elaine.
