Restaurant Features
【JK STUDIO Modern Asia】is a contemporary Asian cuisine restaurant located near Taipei City Hall MRT Station. It has recently undergone a transformation into a fine dining establishment. The interior design blends retro and industrial styles, creating a spacious and comfortable dining space. The dinner set menu is NTD 2680 and includes a total of 10 dishes. The menu offers a rich variety of options for a fulfilling dining experience.
” Milkfish/Rice Cake/Cheese” is unique, with milkfish mashed and served with rice cake, an interesting texture.
“Beef Tongue/ Yūma Pepper/Vegetable” features perfectly grilled beef tongue with a satisfying tenderness, complemented by crispy vegetable, an enjoyable combination.
The “Squid/Mussels/Seafood Soup” is a soup made from fish bones and shrimp, providing a rich flavor. However, the texture of the noodles made from squid are too soft and not particularly pleasing.
The “Steamed Rice/Fish/Dry Shrimp” features perfectly seared fillet of fish with crispy skin and deliciously tender flesh. The rice is cooked with dry shrimp and salmon roe for seasoning, a harmonious blend of flavors.
The “Wagyu Cheek/Beef Sauce/Kale ” features tender and melt-in-your-mouth wagyu cheek, accompanied by caramelized onion puree and deep-fried kales, a delightful combination.
The “Lamb/Spices/Juniper Berry ” lacks the tenderness compared to the wagyu cheek. It is served with black garlic puree, spiced radish puree, and diced apple, but it doesn’t stand out.
The desserts of “Aiyu Jelly/Peach Gum/Water Pear” are refreshing and elegant, providing a palate cleanser. The “Coconut/Sago/Pandan Leaf” offers a soft and chewy texture of sago, infused with the fragrance of pandan leaf. It is served with ice cream and crispy coconut-flavored flakes, creating a delightful combination.
The “Pineapple Cake” is a modified version of pineapple cake, served warm with a rich buttery flavor. Accompanied by honeyed longan flower tea, it creates a perfect pairing.
Overall, while the menu at【JK STUDIO Modern Asia】may not be filled with stunning dishes, it allows diners to experience the creativity that the chef intends to express. The service provided by the staff is also on point. It is a restaurant that still has room to grow and has the potential to be even better in the future.
