"I love soup," says Diego
Hsu, owner of this unique new cafe. Indeed, Hsu's personal
passion is one of the specialties at Huhu's, which faces
People's Square. Topping the menu, the cafe's hearty,
Western-style soups include Beef Tomato (NT$100), Salmon
Asparagus (NT$90), Chicken Corn, Seafood, Mini Lobster,
and Vegetable (NT$80). Add NT$70 and you can enjoy these
as sets with added drink and sandwich or rice dish.
Hsu says he aims to provide quality food for very reasonable
prices, and plans to offer a delivery service in the
near future. There are also salads, a variety of sandwiches
(turkey, ham and cheese, tuna, vegetable and cheese,
etc.), six-inch toasted submarine sandwiches (NT$55-90),
sausages and hot dogs, snacks (cheese fingers, onion
rings, fries, etc.), and various fresh-sliced fruits.
Drinks include various coffees, (NT$45-80), fruit teas
and fresh juices (NT$70-80). This cozy, attractive place
seats 36 and has a comfortable, minimalist lounge-like
feel, with smooth grey walls, light-wood tables, some
sofas and lounge music. In an unusual touch, Huhu's
becomes a lounge after 9:30 p.m., offering about a dozen
cocktails, whiskies, beer, red wine and other spirits,
plus snacks. --By Douglas Habecker, translated by Ann
