King's Flavor Indian Restaurant Introduction
The Fantastic Drift of an Indian Chef from a Five-Star Hotel Why did an Indian chef, who once worked at a five-star hotel in Hsinchu, open a restaurant in Chiayi? According to the owner, they originally planned to find a place in Taipei, but during a trip to Chiayi, they unexpectedly saw a rental sign on an old building next to the Tile Museum and thought it looked good, so they signed the lease. Moving to Chiayi, feeling lost in unfamiliar territory... The owner’s Facebook showed a friend of a friend who happened to own a donburi restaurant in Chiayi. After getting in touch, that person generously shared all their resources, an incredible stroke of luck. Even more surprisingly, on the opening day, without any promotions, a group of tourists from Tainan was waiting at the door to eat. When asked how they found out about the restaurant, their answer was simply that they were just passing by! The owner said it all felt like a dream. Growing up in Taipei, she never imagined she would open a restaurant in Chiayi, introducing the most authentic Indian cuisine. Fortunately, since the opening, different flavors of curry and naan have garnered their supporters, with popular dishes including masala grilled chicken salad, prawn curry, and spiced yogurt grilled chicken, all loved by the majority.
