Sin Wu Fu Hotel

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.
