It is no secret that Taichung diners love their buffets.
Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of
the city's longest-standing, best-known pubs, The Pig
Pen, is getting in on the action by offering is an all-you-can-eat
buffet. This recent addition features all manner of popular
Western foods, which normally individually cost what
is being charged for the entire buffet--NT$350.
From 5 to 10 p.m. daily on The Pig's first floor, one can
eat helping after helping of favorites, such as a green salad
from the salad buffet, pizza, nachos, buffalo wings, tacos
and enchiladas. The portions are small, but it doesn't matter--you
can order as many as you want and stay as long as you want
to get your money worth of Western specialties. Both surprising
and generous is the inclusion of soft drinks in the deal,
which provides your choice of endless refills on fountain
drinks, lemonade or tea. Meal servings are sized according
to the size of your party: individual-sized servings for
one person and larger-sized portions for bigger groups.
For those who crave high meat content in a meal, there is
the option of adding a fish, chicken or pork entre for an
extra NT$49. Several options, such as swordfish, herb chicken,
and pork chops, l make for an extra-large meal when included
with the buffet. Being first and foremost a pub, The Pig
doesn't neglect its main attraction, offering beer with its
Pig Pen buffet special for an extra NT$100.
The lively pub atmosphere that The Pig Pen is famous for
carries over to the first-floor restaurant, but also blends
with a family-restaurant environment. The party experience
is completed with a quick two-minute live dance show, courtesy
of The Pig Pen cheerleader-waitresses every hour. It is also
worth noting that Pig Pen food service coupons are valid
for this buffet special, too.
If you feel a yearning for Western comfort foods but can
make up your mind between pizza, Mexican or American, head
over to The Pig Pen buffet to enjoy a little bit of everything
for a reasonable price.
