       This is an inexpensive and fun "bubble tea" teahouse suitable for the younger generation. Decorated in a Chinese style, the interior has classic wooden tables and chairs as well as an open-style Japanese space. It is also nice outside, with the man-made landscaping. Prices start at NT$45. Select your beverage on the drink sheet and pay for it in advance at the order area. Black tea and milk tea come in large, medium and small sizes and are priced from NT$45 to NT$120. The manager strongly recommends the Fruit Jelly Drink (NT$100), with mango, mulberry, plum, kiwi and other flavors. Made with 100-percent pure juice and no tea flavoring, it is a cool and refreshing drink to beat the summer heat. Tea snacks, deep-fried dishes, noodles, rice and porridges are priced at NT$50 to NT$100. Rare in low-priced teahouses, set course meals are available for lunch and dinner: four dishes and one soup for NT$488 and a five-dish-one-soup special for NT$588. - By Ann Li, translated by Yvonne Chen
