This restaurant is an excellent new addition that serves mainly Yunnan and Guizhou style cuisine, challenging gourmands' taste buds in the process. The specialty of Yun Guei's cuisine is sour spiciness without the mouth-numbing side effects. This special home-style cuisine hooks many diners after their first try. Specially-made tofu has been prepared for this restaurant, allowing it to advance from a supporting dish to being the main character of the show. Whether it is the Stinky Tofu or the Tofu Pot, the special texture and crispy outer layer, combined with great value and even more amazing flavor, never ceases to surprise customers. One of the two main soup bases is made from various vegetables and chicken bones. Though light to the taste, it maintains a full flavor, and many people enjoy it on its own. The second one is a medicinal soup base, which is sweet and suitable all year round. Try combining it with the exclusive tofu here, only taking a bite when the tofu has fully absorbed the soup, to allow the texture and taste to linger on your palate. Don't forget the simple bowls of noodles here, either. Handmade noodles are mixed with fragrant spring onions and cilantro for a simple yet flavorsome dish that goes down very easily and is an all-time favorite. All dishes are reasonably priced between NT$40 and NT$100.
