What used to be The Splendor Hotel's
12th-floor Romana buffet restaurant and Catwalk nightclub
has now been completely remodeled into one big restaurant
named Euro A, short for "European-Asian".
As its name hints, this spacious, 400-seat establishment
offers 80 different dishes from around the world, with
special cooking stations for Western, Japanese, Korean,
Thai, vegetarian and other cuisine. Authentic flavors
and cooking expertise comes from new arrivals like Thai
Chef Tom Shulinta and Japanese Chef Kenji Shindo. All
food at Euro A is ordered a la carte, either off the
menu or by strolling up to a cooking station, where
food is fresh-made to order. Dishes include Japanese
sushi (NT$70-180), sashimi (NT$140-280), tempura and
charcoal-grilled entrees; Canadian, U.S. and Australian
raw oysters (NT$220-280); pastas (NT$140-640); NT$200
pizzas; and Thai salads, sate (NT$150-180), red and
green curries, and noodles. The hotel is promoting this
as the first restaurant of its kind in Taichung, able
to cater to a variety of tastes, and is offering a one-year,
15-percent discount card for those spending over NT$3,000.
