Lee’s Taiwanese – Almost Close to Authentic Taste of Taiwan

Tsukada Nojo – Amazing Beauty Pot Opens 2nd Branch at Chinatown Point
Many could not believe that Tsukado Nojo indicated “closed” and “full house” at 7pm. There were still 3 more hours to closing. Well sir, I got my reservation at 5:30pm, and only managed to get in for my collagen soup after an hour’s wait. Moral of the story: Register...
