Chun Shui Tang 春水堂 (Kaohsiung)

Chun Shui Tang was founded in Taichung in 1983. It has since grown to more than 50 stores in Taiwan. We went to the store at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Zuoying which was quite occupied during lunch hour. But, we managed to get a table within 10 minutes. You'd need to indicate your order on the menu slip and make the payment at the counter. Food and drinks will be served.
