Food assumes such an elevated status in southern Taiwan that people often greet each other with a cheery "chr bao le mei" which translates,  "Have you eaten yet?"   The inquiry confirms food as the source for well being.  Guided by climate and lifestyle, the Kaohsiung palate is both practical and conservative.  Cafeteria or buffet style service is preferred, and simple street side settings are most popular.  A sampling of local and international spots follow..  Bon Appetite!
