Happy New Year!!
My husband will be changing jobs in the new year, so we decided to make the most of our last few days off and go on a little trip. His current job provided him with coupons to use at various restaurants, most of which are in Taipei, Hsinchu, or Taichung. Unfortunately, there aren't many options in Tainan. Taichung seemed like the best choice since we could drop off our kids at my parent's-in-law's place in Yunlin. However, we started our drive quite late as it was already the afternoon.
We headed to Eat Together Buffet (饗食天堂) located in Taichung Top City Mall. We arrived around 2 PM, but the buffet didn't open until half an hour later. So, we took the opportunity to explore and admire the Christmas Trees.
At 2:15 PM, we went to the 11th floor and were shocked to find the place already filled with people. The waiting line extended from the front doors all the way to the elevators and even beyond, under other shops. Since it was our first time here, we didn't know we had to go to the registration table first. Instead, we waited in line unnecessarily. We had to leave the line to book a table and then go to the back of the line again. It seemed impossible for us to get a table with so many people waiting. However, to our surprise, we were able to get in, and there were still some empty tables! It didn't feel as crowded as we initially thought.
There were plenty of food choices, including various sushi, sashimi, salads, soups, roasted and braised meats, seafood, fruits, desserts, drinks, and even some alcoholic beverages. It was difficult to try every single dish as we quickly became full. The food was delicious, and the chefs worked non-stop to refill the dishes that ran out. The waitstaff constantly cleared our dirty plates and glasses. It was unlike any other place we had been to before.
