Mao Yu Yue Liang (The Cat and the Moon) 9, Lane 15, Shin Shing Road Lungching Hsiang (township), Taichung County Tel: 04-2631-8557 Hours: 11am-1am daily

The Cat and the Moon is a small restaurant in the bustling Tunghai Piehshu area. Its decor, done up in blue and white, and large picture windows help to create a romantic atmosphere. 50's music plays continuously in the background. Food choices include various kinds of mini hotpot such as Korean kimchee, spicy Chinese-style and Japanese curry (NT$160 to NT$180). Casseroles range in price from NT$150 to NT$180. Pasta dishes range from NT$120 to NT$150 and include Vegetable Fruit Low-fat Cheese Macaroni, Baked Cheese Macaroni with Sausage and Thai-style Vegetable Noodles. In addition, there are a wide variety of drink choices. I recommend the herbal teas (NT$130 to NT$140) such as jack furit tea and wild cherry tea. Or, try one of the zodiac cocktails, specially blended for each astrological sign (NT$140). There is also a snack menu (NT$40 to NT$130) featuring such items as Cheese Bake Butter Greens Chicken, French Baked Green Pepper Casserole and Banana Flambee.

The Cat and the Moon is a reasonably priced, conveniently located place for Tunghai students to spend time with that special someone. To add to the cozy, intimate atmosphere, The Cat and the Moon invites outstanding students from the Tunghai University Department of Music to give performances twice daily. Plenty of other surprises await you at The Cat and the Moon.
