SAN-HSI-T'ANG TEAHOUSE
(NATIONAL PALACE MUSEUM)

221, ChihShan Rd, Sec 2, 4F
(02) 2881-2021 ext. 2230/ 2382
Hours:9 am-5 pm

The National Palace Museum, home to the world's largest collection of Chinese artifacts, is now home to an upgraded Taiwanese teahouse. Serving "a variety of Taiwanese teas and Chinese snacks", the classical San-hsi-t'ang Teahouse is a fantastic place for a light lunch or afternoon tea. With all the recent traffic in and out of the newly-renovated National Palace Museum, the teahouse is getting its fair share of business. The menu is comprised of small snacks, dim sum, light desserts, and tempting pots of tea. For the lunch-hungry crowd, several varieties of dumplings, barbecue pork buns, and soups are available for less than NT$200. The famous teas range from NT$150-NT$200 a pot. Desserts include Sesame Slices, Green Bean Cake and Lotus Seed Sweet Soup. The interior design of the Teahouse is simply stunning. From the dark wood furniture to the soft Chinese music playing in the background, the atmosphere is relaxing and classy. The next time you visit the museum, be sure to stop by the teahouse on the fourth floor of the main building. --By RebeKah Godfrey, translated by Ann Lee
