The
architecture at this hall is a synthesis of traditional
Chinese and Japanese elements, and is a prime example
of the architecture of its era; it set the pace for
other assembly halls in Asia. After the end of World
War II, it was renamed Chungshan Hall. Because of these
emotions, this place is certain to find a new life
in the minds of those who visit it. Operated by the
China Times newspaper, Fortress Coffee has a coffee
veranda on the first floor, and a Spanish-style patio
on the second. Looking down from the second floor,
the scenes of greenery will draw people out for a walk.
The food here is prepared by Head Chef Mr Zhou of the
Grand Hyatt Taipei, and features authentic Chinese-style
seafood. Recommended dishes include Rainbow Trout In
Dill Cream Sauce (NT$470), Roasted Rack Of Lamb Seasoned
With Garlic And Butter (NT$470), and Spanish Seafood
Rice (NT$320). In addition, the Tapas are well worth
a try. |
