The meal at JL studio is decadent! Was recommended by a friend to try JL studio as I'm always intrigued by chefs who use local produce yet in an elevated manner. Chef Jimmy is a Singaporean and what he does is combining the ascent of Singapore cuisine yet using Taiwan produce to show the perfect marriage of ingredients between both countries. I do not find that I'm just eating Singaporean food in Taiwan but rather it makes me feel super impressed on how Chef Jimmy managed to capture the SG flavours yet I felt like I'm being transported to another world. One such dish was the durian cream with Nasi Lemak. Durian is quite 重口味 for most people but I will say the flavours is balanced perfectly. In summary, most of the dishes stand out to me. The lobster 🦞 dish is a chef kiss. And Helen does a good job in serving me throughout the lunch service. JL studio is worth a pitstop if you are a fine dining lovers :)

I finally had the pleasure and honor to dine at this fabulous establishment, and goodness gracious, it was an exceptional meal, indeed! From the very first plate to the very last, the 13 dishes were absolutely fantastic in their variety, composition, elegance, and creativity, and most importantly, in the freshness and flavor and texture of the ingredients themselves. The servers are immensely knowledgeable and thoroughly aware of the origin and cultural meaning of each plate, and are able to guide the guest through each course with delicate descriptions and enveloping warmth. Each dish is assembled into a glorious yet mysterious balance of the 5 tastes culminating into a gentle explosion of pure joy in every bite, creating an absolutely and totally magnificent dining experience. Congratulations to the Chef and his wonderful Team in the back and front to achieve this level of sophistication in fine dining, and thank you for bringing it to this exquisite Food Mecca, the city of Taichung.
