If you’re hungry after going up Elephant mountain and don’t just want to dive into the nearest 7-11 you find, you’ll probably stumble across this first, anyway. It’s worth a try.<\/div>\n

Unfortunately it was raining a lot when we visited, so pictures of the outside are out, sorry.<\/div>\n

I like to take a look at what you can order, first. It’s all clean and all looks (and smells) delicious.<\/div>\n

We shared this between 3, accompanied by a few other dishes, too. It was plenty, to be fair. If you’re really hungry, then I would suggest share this between 2 and get a bowl of rice\/noodles, too.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
On the plate is an assortment of different types of tofu, salad leaves and some intestine, too. It’s pretty good, to be fair!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This is my pick of the bunch, though. The intestines have a chewy and soft texture with plenty of flavour. Paired with the slightly sweet, almost smoked spicy sauce it works nicely – especially washed down with a beer!<\/div>\n

I am always in search of smoked duck, of any kind. I really enjoy smoked meats. This duck was great. Shared between 3, the portion size is obviously too small. But, shared between 2 with the sharing plate as well, and you’ve got plenty of food.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The flavour of the duck was great, it tasted really fresh. I always enjoy some salad leaves accompanying it, too.<\/div>\n

It’s not bad, but I won’t rave about it, either. It’s a fresh bean sprout salad.<\/div>\n

It took them around 30-40mins to get this to us, and it was more like soup than congee.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Too watery, not much flavour, no seasoning and barely any rice inside. I won’t be getting it again, that’s for sure.<\/div>\n

Taiwan beer is alright, but next time I will spend only around $50 more and get a nicer beer. They serve a lot of the Taiwan Tea Ales here, so I will be going for them, next time.<\/div>\n
