Aria offers beef, for example, priced from 300 to 1,150 yuan ($48-185).

"The main thing is that, for every dish, customers get what they paid for. No matter what they order, we cook it in the same way. The difference only comes from the meat."

Taylor has prepared two tasting menus－one for the typical customer, another for the "epicurious".

"It is a menu for those people who are knowledgeable about good food. They will still find a lot of things they've not tried before," he says.

He recommends Shiro Kin tenderloin, the best beef from Australia, or tajima wagyu tenderloin, another high-quality option. He also hopes customers can try foie gras imported from France as a starter, and strawberry cheesecake for dessert.

If one eats these menu items, "I believe you could never leave unsatisfied," he says.
