With a name like "Chicken Game", this place might be mistaken for a games arcade. In reality, chef and owner Eric just wanted to run his business in a slightly more unconventional manner. Eric and his chefs have put a lot of thought into the menu. The Hua Diao Chicken is prepared with vintage Hua Diao Wine from Puli and their own special sauce. The chicken is soft and tender with hints of wine but not its sting, and is best eaten with white rice or their homemade flat noodles. The Tian Huang Hua Diao Chicken is prepared with special native chicken meat that is chewier but no less tender. The dish is slightly more expensive but worth it. Eric has also prepared some unique and creative dishes, such as the Caraway Sauce Fried Spareribs (NT$200), made from Taiwanese black pork ribs stewed for 48 hours in a sauce of ground cumin, green papaya and 18 other spices. The Orange Vinegar Chicken Leg (NT$200) is prepared with de-boned chicken leg meat marinated in their own orange vinegar sauce, and has a crispy outer layer and sweet and sour tender inner layer. --By Shanzi Chen, translated by Cara Steenstra
