I visited this incinerator a few months ago -- at that time, the restaurant
was not functioning. In fact, there isn't even a kitchen installed in the
building. So it appears that the restaurant is a facade -- it's just meant
to impress people with how "safe" the incinerator is. They're planning on
building another one with a similar restaurant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's
second-largest city, as well.
