That’s why is how I found Lucy Liu.

After that, I came to visit Lucy Liu restaurant that proposes an interesting Asian fusion cuisine. In other words, it’s based in Thai and Chinese influence the most. Therefore, my expectation was high before eating the food. So, the chance to try much of the menu craved to me.
