My Humble House Hospitality Management Consulting Co Ltd (寒舍餐旅管理顧問) expects its new restaurant to benefit from strong foot traffic at the Taipei World Trade Center’s Nangang Exhibition Hall.
The new all-you-can-eat restaurant, Raku Kitchen (寒舍樂廚), has 250 seats and is to open today.
The restaurant is the third operated by My Humble House in Taipei, following the launch of two Thai-cuisine restaurants — Sukhothai (蘇可泰) at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store Co’s (新光三越百貨) Xinyi Place (台北信義新天地) and A ROY DEE By Sukhothai (泰喜歡) at Breeze Center (微風廣場).
“The company has invested more than NT$10 million [US$330,690] in the restaurant,” Tom Lee (李博承), a sales office director at My Humble House, told a media briefing yesterday.
A Taiwan External Trade Development Council forecast says the Nangang Exhibition Hall could attract more than 2 million visitors this year.
Lee said a recent semiconductor conference led to a high turnover rate for the restaurant during its trial run period.
The company operates Sheraton Grande Taipei Hotel (台北喜來登大飯店) and Le Meridien Taipei (台北寒舍艾美酒店).
By the end of the year, the company is to relaunch the banquet hall at the Nangang Exhibition Hall, which is to offer banquet service of between 28 and 30 tables, with a restaurant featuring Chinese cuisine.

Tan is to hold a banquet to celebrate Intel’s 40-year presence in Taiwan before Computex opens on May 20 and invite dozens of Taiwanese suppliers to exchange views
Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) is expected to share his views about the artificial intelligence (AI) industry’s prospects during his speech at the company’s 37th anniversary ceremony, as AI servers have become a new growth engine for the equipment manufacturing service provider. Lam’s speech is much anticipated, as Quanta has risen as one of the world’s major AI server suppliers. The company reported a 30 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue to NT$1.41 trillion (US$43.35 billion) last year, thanks to fast-growing demand for servers, especially those with AI capabilities.
