Ah Mao Risotto Restaurant is an Italian restaurant located in the heart of Ximending. I didn't pet the dog though because it cannot shower as it's winter so it smelt a bit.

The soups

It looks good but I don't really like it

Boy doesn't mind and finished the entire pot though

The ice cream is good but a bit too sour

Overall I did't really enjoy my dinner and was looking forward for snacks later on...
