--By Shanzi Chen, translated by Cara Steenstra

Two young women, one studying in England and the other in France, had a chance meeting in London and became friends. After years in Europe, these two connoisseurs of good food and all things romantic decided to return and set up a European-style restaurant in, interestingly, suburban BanCiao. Only about three minutes walk from XinPu MRT Station's Exit No.5 you'll come upon a small garden and a French flag announcing the premises of Carol et Ching. Head Chef Ching puts romance into every dish that appears on their tables. Most dishes are flavored with herbs, and almost everything is carefully handmade. The east-west fusion cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced. All day set menus are between NT$680 and NT$880. Bread made from liquid yeast, the Roasted Chicken Dome with Crab, the fragrant Pumpkin Soup and the Chocolate Ginger Cake all come highly recommended. Not only do taste buds get a treat at Carol et Ching, every detail is visually pleasing as well. Just think, a quick trip on the MRT Blue Line transports you on a romantic getaway to affordable and delicious European cuisine. How wonderful is that!
