      The recently opened Hong Yun Cantonese restaurant is open 24 hours a day, and is frequently full of customers. The head chef, Master Zhang, compliments his meals with vegetables and fruits for more balanced nutrition and health. For example, the dim sum "Asparagus and Codfish Dumpling" (NT$85) is made with deep sea codfish and fresh green asparagus. The "Yao Zhu bean-leaf dumpling" (NT$85) is a skillful mix of scallops and bean seedlings.
The recommended dessert is the "Chrysanthemum Cake of Matrimony Vine" (Matrimony Vine is a traditional herb also known as Lycium or Bittersweet) (NT$65) which is specially designed for health. The cake has whole lycium and chrysanthemum flower fragrance to sooth both body and mind. "Yam and Snow Clam Soup" (NT$120) is made with indigenous yams, steamed in a traditional handle-less cup. It's a delicious soup with healing properties.
The famous and classical dishes offered number in the dozens. The head chef specially recommends "Satay Mushroom Beef Stew" (NT$280). The unbelievable taste of Hong Xi mushrooms complements this tender beef dish, and it is guaranteed to keep the patron's chopsticks moving. "Sour and Spicy Tendons" (NT$280) is a Thai-styled cold dish. Chewy tendons are mixed with sauce and then blended with carrots, onions, and lemon. The sauce is composed of more than ten kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. The result is a tasty, appetizing and healthy dish. --By Josephine Lin
