Under the guidance of chef/owner Sun You-hui and his wife Joanne Chuang, Country Goose Kitchen has been pleasing diners with its excellent food and ambiance since 2000. Its menu features a selection of steaks and other creative Western entrees, including the Stewed Seafood in Bloody Mary Sauce (NT$450) that chef Sun has chosen to introduce this month. In addition to a mix of succulent seafood, the best thing of about this dish is its spicy-sour, almost Thai-like Bloody Mary Sauce, which diners can sop up with provided pieces of bread.
