Double Vision 56 AnJi Street, TzuoYing, Kaohsiung City (07) 558-6085 Hours: 7 am-1 am

        Open since March 27, Double Vision--as it's name suggests--has two parts. The front section is a brightly lit, pastel colored area primarily for dining and tea drinking. The menu offers a choice of regular Chinese fare--the Salmon Head Hot Pot and steaks come recommended--but more adventurous diners might be tempted by the strangely-named Hells Treasure (which is, in fact, fried crickets), the mountain rat, or the snow rabbit. The other section of Double Vision is accessed through an oval portal in the rear of the restaurant. This area is entirely black but for neon artwork which, along with any white clothing that you may be wearing, glows. The effect is quite startling. Pitchers of Tiger Beer can be had for NT$300; the second pitcher comes free. A lot of thought has been put into the design of Double Vision. Even the bathrooms are interesting! --By Richard Matheson
