92 Waterbird's Mediterranean cuisine is the kind of place where everyone's first thing to do is take a picture, and after one bite, they can't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is so delicious! I'll definitely bring everyone back next time!" The super-sized seafood rice in a cast iron pot, the aroma of the salt-grilled premium steak—it's simply irresistible! Plenty of seafood, tapas, and a little wine to share—every dish makes you happy while you eat. There's a special magic here, not just in the food, but in the feeling of friends gathering, chatting, laughing, and having a few drinks, and you quietly thinking, "Today was truly blissful." The atmosphere is relaxed and full of Southern European charm, making it easy to spend the whole evening there, leaving satisfied, and then wondering, "Who should I bring next?" During Taipei Restaurant Week this September, I highly recommend 92 Waterbird for a joyful, unforgettable Mediterranean dining experience that you'll be eager to share with your friends.

LanPengYou, initially just the name of a chat group for a bunch of friends, became the reason we wanted to create this brand because of the values it represented. We believe everyone should have one or two "bad friends" in their lives—friends who will laugh at you when you embarrass yourself, but will stand by you through thick and thin when you're truly down. "Butcher by Lanpengyou" is our first brand. For us, "a burger is never just a simple fast food meal, but a calculated combination of flavors." The true essence of a burger is to bite into all the elements and experience the different layers of flavor. Butcher by LanPengYou is a burger specialty shop that uses Choice-grade chilled Angus Wagyu beef, handling the entire process of trimming, grinding, and pounding the meat themselves. To achieve this, we visited various meat chefs, learning about the source, cuts, fat-to-lean ratio, and spices. All this was to create the burger patties with the ideal proportions in our minds. Our goal has always been to create a burger specialty shop that brings together friends, food, and drinks, offering a variety of burger flavors with different meats, seasonings, and styles.

After taking root in the United States, pizza transformed from a staple dish of Italian immigrants into a globally popular classic American cuisine. Pizza Americano, located on Anhe Road in Taipei's Da'an District, was created to pay homage to this remarkable journey of Italian immigrant American culinary culture! To present the most authentic New York style, Pizza Americano specially invited legendary global pizza consultant Anthony Falco to oversee the process, reimagining the classic New York style with modern culinary techniques. Ingredients are imported directly from the US, ensuring the most authentic and high-quality pizza base. We use handmade flour and natural yeast, undergoing a 48-hour slow fermentation at a low temperature; then we combine it with California organic vine-ripened tomatoes and perfectly aged mozzarella cheese, finally baking it in a high-temperature stone oven to create a fluffy crust with a signature caramelized leopard print edge, and an incredibly thin, crispy, and chewy texture! 🏆 Recommended by "500 Bowls" magazine! A Bowl of Unforgettable Classic Flavor American Pizza is not only beloved by Taipei street foodies and expatriates, but it also shone brightly in the Taiwanese local food review program "500 Bowls"! Star Player: Spicy Vodka Pizza Received unanimous high praise from the judges! Based on a smooth and rich Bianco DiNapoli organic tomato vodka sauce, interwoven with the creamy layers of mozzarella and silk cheese, and finally drizzled with homemade basil oil for added flavor.

Starting with spices from Southeast Asia, Deejai aims to explore the spice-based culinary culture of various Asian regions, reinterpreting familiar dishes through the diverse flavors of different regional spices. Located on Dihua Street, a neighborhood steeped in a century-old spice and dried goods culture, we can conveniently source spices from around the world. Our chef personally selects the freshest herbs daily from the market, and we insist on hand-frying each spice to awaken its aroma, meticulously controlling the heat to allow the spices to showcase their purest and richest layers in our dishes. We blend Asian ingredients with Western cooking techniques, employing methods such as sauces, stewing, searing, and sous-vide cooking. While preserving the distinct characteristics of each spice, we pursue a balance and delicacy of flavor, creating modern Asian cuisine unique to Deejai. "Deejai" in Thai means "happy, joyful," with "jai" meaning "heart." Therefore, Deejai not only represents happiness but also a joyful heart; while the opposite, Jaidee, signifies kindness and a good heart. These two words have become the core of Deejai's brand spirit: cooking with heart and treating people with kindness, so that everyone who enters can feel at ease, warm, and joyful. We hope that every dish and every drink carries this "heart"—a love for spices, a focus on cuisine, respect for the land, and sincere hospitality for every guest. May everyone who comes to Deejai savor the interwoven flavors of Asian spices in this old house, and leave with a sense of joy and warmth unique to Deejai.
