夕說淡水 輕旅民宿

Tucked away on a mountainside, this rustic house behind a farm is dripping in nostalgia and the smell of fermenting homemade sauces heralds an experience connected to nature. The mother-and-son team crafts organic produce from their own farm into culinary gems packed in natural sweetness. Deep-fried chicken leg with bamboo ginger and a drizzle of tea tree oil embodies the essence of rural life. The scenic setting is idyllic during warm weather.

Long queues at meal times are testament to just how good this tiny gem is. Customers come in droves for its silky, succulent Taiwanese-style poached chicken on steamed rice or noodles. The meat bursts with natural flavour, and well-balanced dips elevate the umami. You can also ask for the chicken leg. The menu also includes other home-style sides and soup for a wholesome meal. Wallet-friendly prices also explain its popularity.

The food alone would be reason enough to visit this resort, breath-taking mountain views and hot spring baths aside. The experienced chef reimagines Taiwanese classics with novel twists. His strikingly styled appetiser, osmanthus white jade, is radish carved into flowers and steeped in home-brewed osmanthus wine, imparting floral notes, a crunchy texture, and a sweet-and-sour harmony. Local wines and teas allow diners to taste the full scope of Taiwan’s terroir.

Since 1987, this joint has been popular for get-togethers among family and friends on account of its remarkable traditional Taiwanese fare. With an array of both home-style dishes and banquet classics, the menu features sharing plates and comforting staples that deliver big flavours. Try signatures such as boiled free-range chicken, and Buddha Jumps Over The Wall. Taiwan-style ice lollies at the end of the meal are the icing on the cake.
