--By Dionysus, translated by Cara Steenstra

Xin Pu Yuan Chinese Restaurant has been in business on XinYi Road for over 10 years and has always enjoyed a good reputation. It recently relocated to premises opposite the Hotel Royal and reopened with a brand-new look. Owner/General Manager Sun wanted his customers to be able to sample Hong Kong-style roasted meats, Shanghai-style home cooking, dim sum from central China and creative Chinese desserts at his establishment. Everything here is made from the freshest ingredients. The dim sums are all made on site, the soup bases are cooked from three chickens, and they guarantee that no MSG is used. The desserts here have a texture that you will not find elsewhere, thanks to Japanese dessert expert Miss Sakai, who is specially employed as a technical director. The Baked Pudding with Tapioca (NT$120), the Jelly with Mixed Fresh Fruit (NT$150) and the Warabi Sweet (NT$120) are very popular. The well-loved Three Delight (NT$120) is prepared by cooking fruit juice and agar on a low heat without adding any water. Assistant Manager Jiang also recommends the Steamed Bamboo Shoot (NT$300), the Marinated and Braised Hand Shredded Chicken (NT$280) and the King Fish Steamed in Casserole with Rice (NT$320). The Spice Boiled Beef (NT$420) is not only popular in Shanghai, it is also one of the most popular dishes in this restaurant.
