         The owner was promoting Taiwanese foods in Chiayi awhile back. Sensing an opportunity, he and family opened up this well received restaurant in Taichung early this year. Coming from three generations of catering chefs, his signature “Budda Surprise” has a nostalgic home taste of a traditionally thick broth filled with fried spareribs, crisp bamboo shoots, taro root, and mushroom. Priced at $50 a bowl, anyone can afford it. Other authentic dishes: northern and southern flavored “Mushroom Meat” Rice Cake and Clam Soup with Bamboo Fungus are priced together for $50. There are over 30 choices in main dishes, soups, side dishes, and salads. Fried spareribs come in five choices: noodles, winter melon, day lily flower, bitter melon and taro root. For a little money, tasty and fulfilling authentic catered Taiwanese dishes can be had at Ming Jia Shiang.
