--By Pieter, translated by Annie Liu
For more than 3 years, Kaohsiung residents
have been enjoying the beautiful sunsets over Sitzewan Bay
from the terrace of Oceanside Cafe. And yet, few people seem
to know about this place - possibly due to its location. To
get there, drive through JhongShan University, sticking as
close to the ocean as possible. Once through the university,
and on ChaiShan Road, simply keep going until you see the
sign.
Owners Jose and Anna have turned the outside
area of Anna's parents home into an amiable coffee shop, where
one can get out of the city's noise, sit back and enjoy Jose's
magic coffee mixes. From French Vanilla to Caramel Macchaito
(from NT$60), coffee lovers are sure to appreciate his passion
for making the perfect cup. They also have a range of other
hot and iced drinks, including teas and cocoa (from NT$60)
and even homemade lemonade (NT$70). Plus, they offer local
and imported beers at a very affordable NT$70.
As an eatery they serve fast foods exclusively,
but don't think that means it's not good. Meals like the Curry
Chicken with rice (NT$180) are served with a drink, soup and
some fruit. Vegetarian meals are available. Their snacks include
chocolate waffles (jam, honey or caramel), fresh bagels and
Mexican favourites like Burritos or Quesadillas (from NT$70).
Oceanside Cafe's biggest appeal is its view
and atmosphere. They are a popular (and perfect) choice for
wedding receptions (many couples go there to take wedding
pictures), sundown parties and group events. Customers are
allowed to bring their own alcohol (no beers), for which a
corkage fee may be charged. However, holidays and weekends
are their busiest times, so they cannot accommodate groups
during these times. If it is a different dining experience
you are after, they are definitely worth a try.
