ReplyI have stayed in Kunshan for almost five weeks and the best restaurant that I have visited is the taiwanese "Dream Herb". The restaurant itself is like an oasis in the city. You can even sit outside in a lovely garden, which is unusual in Kunshan. Bring a bottle of wine if you like that you buy in a drugstore on your way there. Opening charge is 30 yuan. Wine tips is Great Wall Cabarnet Savignon 1998. They play wonderful music and the food is excellent. Plate after plate is brought to you and you can eat several different dishes with beef, chicken, lamb or pork. The coffe is good. The beer though is not that good, but perhaps you even can bring the kind of beer that you like from a shop? Apart from that it is VERY cheap. Dinner 70 yuan and lunch 50 yuan. Here you get really good taken care of and spoiled - do not miss it!! Address: Huang He Road 169-4. From Crown Hotel on Qian Jin Road, you go right and the first crossing take left. Soon you see a wooden fence on the left sid of the road and you are there DREAM HERB!!
