Sunshine Queen - A well-known illustrator collaboration with SMART to create a popular Instagram-worthy restaurant Introduction
Do you remember the sleepy polar bear at Chiayi Train Station? Actually, you can also see the family story of the polar bear at Sunshine Queen in Chiayi! The restaurant is themed around fairy tales, creating an illusion of walking into a dreamy wonderland. The characteristic birdcage design, standing at 6 meters high, is breathtaking, adorned with cute, whimsical illustrations and palace-like crystal chandeliers. Coupled with the carefully prepared photo props and exclusive specialty dishes, it immerses you in an atmosphere reminiscent of a fairy tale dreamland, making it hard to leave. It has now become a popular restaurant that is a must-visit for social media influencers. The signature dish, Dancing Queen (Roasted Whole Chicken), features a complex and time-consuming preparation process, requiring over 48 hours of marination with more than a dozen sauces. After cooking, the outside is crispy while the inside remains tender, with chicken juices bursting when you take a big bite. Even the chicken breast is chewy and juicy, making it one of the must-order signature dishes. All meals are freshly made to order, and the pasta and risotto are also must-tries, making it a local culinary destination that visitors should not miss.
