Man, I so have to go to Kato sometime. Been to Daybird already (it's good!).

keep it simple. Making Taiwanese way too complicated. Taiwanese is a home feeling. I am Taiwanese, but am not attracted to your interpretation or restaurant because I do not need it reinvented. Keep it simple and true

[@paynoattentionplease]

I really don't like this attitude to be honest. It's very self centered. Imagine when people created boba tea. Are you going to say "Taiwan never put boba in tea before this and I'm not ATTRACTED to boba in my tea and I don't NEED people putting stuff in my tea. You're making tea too complicated. Keep it simple!" Or when Apple released the iPhone? "I never had a capactive touch screen on my phone and I'm not attracted to capactive touch screens and I don't NEED a touch screen like that. You're making phones too complicated. Keep it simple!" Well, I fully disagree with that attitude. I think people should innovate. Explore. Push boundaries. Find and create new things. Sure, sometimes when you try something new it sucks, but at least you know it sucks after trying. Sometimes when you try something you new you discover something awesome. Encourage people trying new things, don't discourage them.

@@paynoattentionplease that’s nice but it’s still my opinion. Not sure how that’s “self-centered” as I’m just expressing my opinion. Seems you just don’t like others expressing their opinion because it differs from yours so your resort to name calling. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@paynoattentionplease]

@hannahchang6356 Your preference of liking simple over elevated is completely valid and I respect that. It's not your opinion that's the problem, it's how you said it. You're telling a Michelin starred chef with a successful restaurant that you don't think he should do what earned him his success and instead "keep it simple" because YOU aren't "attracted" to his restaurant concept and YOU don't "need" his concept. That's why it sounds self-centered.
