         Located within the Tungshan Amusement Park, this restaurant is a popular for corporate and group outings. Delicious wholesome meals are great value for money, with a set meal for 10 costing NT$4,000. A house special is Ginseng Chicken Soup (NT$350/order), prepared with a brew made from "China ginseng". The proprietor says this special stew is known for its benefit to colon and intestines, as it cleanses the body of toxins. The owner claimed that this magic portion enhances longevity and has been passed from one generation to the next. Another highly-recommended specialty is the Garlic Chicken (NT$400/order). Preserved vegetables aged for more than a decade are used with garlic to prepare this dish. It is delightfully tasty and also helps regulate the kidneys' function. Another house special is Sugar Cane Bees (about NT$200 to NT$300), a dish made with these little insects, which usually camouflage themselves within the cane. The outer layer of their skins is much softer than normal bees' and they are deep-fried with a little salt so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The restaurant has a dance floor and KTV rooms.
