Newly opened in May, Huang Ting Restaurant is part of the group which also runs the Yuan Yuan Yuan Tea House, although its style is entirely different from that establishment's. Every item in the restaurant, including the imitation Ming-dynasty furniture, wooden carvings, stone carvings, floor tiles and pillars, has been imported from Beijing. The entire restaurant is decorated in a classic Chinese style; even the bathrooms have been done up very nicely. Gardens, water fountains, winding corridors and a decorated archway in and around the building all add to the elegant atmosphere, making you feel as if you were dining in a distinguished family home back in the "old days". Huang Ting's biggest specialty is Taiwan's one and only "Authentic Jiang Xi Soup Stewed in an Earthenware Pot", which is prepared with ancient stewing methods learned by the owner under very special circumstances. A number of these huge earthenware pots sit at the entrance of the restaurant. The stewed soup is prepared in these pots over a coal fire, allowing the soup to slow-cook for as long as eight hours, creating a delicious broth that brings many diners back for more. There are also live deep-sea fish, unique home-style cooking, a variety of fried dishes, dim sum and much more, making this is an ideal place for gourmands to sample classic Chinese cuisine.
