      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.
