The 'Krankenhaus' is the German term for hospital, which is the theme that this restaurant follows.
From the nurse outfit garbed waitresses to the IV drip tubes through which your drinks are refilled, the Taiwanese D.S Music takes its health care theme very seriously indeed.

The food is served in trays which have compartments for an assortment of mini food containers, just like what you are offered in the air. So sit back and chew on your food as you reminisce about mealtimes on your last flight at Taiwan's A380 In-Flight Kitchen.

For those of you who are either entirely comfortable with associating food with well, the facilities, or get a weird thrill out of it, this restaurant may be something you will enjoy. Surprisingly, this restaurant seems to be quite popular.
