Water City Motel

An old property in an alley has been remodelled to house this low-profile restaurant. A pared-down interior and casual vibe set the scene, while a Japanese-style wooden counter frames the open kitchen. Taiwanese home cooking and small plates define the concise menu. Try sorghum liquor-scented Kinmen sausages in a crisp thin casing. Salt-baked chicken leg with sweet corn is another must-try, best enjoyed with a bowl of braised pork rice.

Chef Ah Hsi's career in Taiwanese cooking spans more than 30 years. His family used to farm geese, which explains his skills in butchering and cooking geese. As opposed to poaching the birds in brine as most Taiwanese do, he slow roasts them in a barrel before smoking them with cane sugar. His signature roast goose boasts juicy flesh and smoky aromas. The duck sausage is meaty and tender without the greasiness of its pork counterpart.
