International of Delicious Food combines Western and Chinese ingredients to create Chinese cuisine that is presented Western-style. The restaurant's kitchen team actually won the Taiwan Gourmet Food Cooking Competition and will represent Taiwan in the World Cooking Competition next year. The executive chef also has proved his cooking skills, grabbing the gold medal at the Beijing World Cooking Competition.

The bright-red theme color here exudes a strong Chinese-happiness atmosphere in the spacious, stylishly-decorated dining area. In addition to the main hall's big round tables, private rooms are also available. The restaurant provides a wide range of choices--a la carte dishes, set-menu meals and others. The Osmanthus Set Meal (NT$580) offers choices of Japanese Salad, Bamboo Chicken Wings, Pesto Mushroom Fish Filet, Health Herb Osmanthus Vinegar, Thai Prawn with Special Sauce, Mushroom with Goose Feet, Wuxi Ribs and all kinds of desserts, from a health herb dessert to tasty fruit. The Jasmine Set Meal (NT$780) is a bit more expensive, including choices of entrees representing famous cuisine from all over China, with cold dishes, seafood, fish, meat, soup, vegetables, rice and noodles, dessert and drinks all included.

Barbecue P-Toro Pork is cooked over fire with honey, yeast and miso. It especially goes well with freshly-squeezed passion fruit juice that complements the pork's fragrance and chewy texture. The Truffle Filet is prepared with a New Zealand filet and red wine sauce for extra tenderness. Another entree, Osmanthus Shark's Fin, doesn't use traditional cooking methods but instead is prepared with liquor, eggs and mushrooms and wrapped with lettuce. Last but not least, exquisite desserts like Osmanthus Vinegar and Cheese are nicely presented on classy dishware, helping increase their mouth-watering effects.
