Taichung's biggest and best-known traditional Chinese teahouse chain continues its inexorable march forward with the opening of its latest, and biggest, outlet, located on the canal road not far from Wenhsin Road, section 3.  In keeping with the attributes that makes Ken Tu Yuan so popular, there are fish ponds, waterfalls, bridges, passage ways and quaint little tea rooms and pavilions, perfect for enjoying traditional oolong and other hot teas (sorry, no pearl milk iced tea here).  There are also several set lunch and dinner meals (available 12-2 p.m., 6-8 p.m.) costing about NT$250, with options of chicken, beef, goose, vegetarian and other main courses, plus side dishes, soup, fruit and tea.  Although surrounded by buildings, Ken Tu Yuan once again manages to provide a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.
