Xiamuni is the newest restaurant brand
to be unveiled by the Wang Group, famous for its Wang
Steakhouse and other outlets. Xiamuni's first Taichung
branch follows the original restaurant which opened
in Taipei a year ago. What sets this restaurant apart
from other teppanyaki eateries is its European-style
ambiance, ingredients and food presentation, as well
as a more private-feeling dining atmosphere. Diners
still sit at traditional-looking teppanyaki stations,
each seating two to 10 people, either in the spacious,
high-ceilinged, blue-lit first floor, or on the cozier
third floor. Although there are a la carte menu selections,
most diners opt for the NT$980 lunch/dinner set, which
is very filling. Besides an appetizer, soup, lemon sorbet,
vegetables, Sakura Shrimp Fried Rice, fruit, dessert
and drink, diners select their soup (like Truffle Onion),
salad, and main course, including Matsumoto Pork, Roasted
Beef Ribeye, or Brandy Duck Breast. Dessert and coffee/tea
are taken in an attractive lounge on the second floor,
more conducive to relaxing and chatting. --By Douglas
