One of my favourite ways to search new restaurant is this Taiwan-version of Yelp called iPeen.
I was looking for a café for a group gathering around the 東區 area, and I came across A House on iPeen. The rating seemed quite decent, and the location seemed perfect. I was surprised what a great choice - like finding gem in a haystack.
The cafe is tucked away in the alley, which you can tell by the address. According to the waitress, this is the ONLY live acapella performance cafe/restaurant in Taiwan. The interior decoration was designed for acapella performances. Every Friday/Saturday evening, there would be live acapella performances where they invite international groups to come and sing. With cover charges around $400, you can enjoy a night of instrumental-free singing, and a free drink.
In addition to all the necessary music props for the gigs, the restaurant also uses very interesting furniture and dishes. The most noteworthy is their water glass - a humpty dumpty shaped glass that sits tilted but never tilting over. I couldn't stop spinning and playing with it. The chairs were also interesting in the sense that it is made of strips of cardboards constructed in a honey-comb shape for maximum compression strength.
Coffee is decent, and made using a french press. Again, uique. I ordered a sponge cake, and it was light and fluffy. A perfect compliment for my coffee.
This is a restaurant that focuses more on the ambience and experience, rather than bringing you on a coffee journey. I would still strongly recommed this place if you are looking for a place that offers comfortable and friendly ambience to chill out at.
