CACTI RESTAURANT 22-1, TsuenJung Street

The Spice Shop Indian restaurant's owner, Fred, has decided to try his hand at something different and has added Cacti (formerly Borderland) Restaurant to his ventures. Located next to Papa Mio Italian Restaurant, this attractive, two-floor place has an American Southwestern feel to it, with white stucco, adobe-like decor and plenty of cactus plants (hence, the name). The Western menu, according to management, is tailored to Chinese palates and provides plenty of options for lunch or dinner. A variety of business lunch set meals (11:30 am-2 pm) start at NT$199, come with soup and coffee/tea, and are changed once a week. Main course meals, available all day, include items like Grilled American Rib Eye (NT$420), Tenderloin Fillet, Beef Kebabs, and German Pork Knuckle with mustard dip (NT$360). There are also soups, salads, pastas, appetizers and sandwiches, mostly in the NT$200 range. There is also a very reasonable afternoon tea time (2-5 pm), offering any drink with a choice of sandwich, waffle or cake.
