Long-history restaurant with public praise
Since Rural Road No. 122 of Chiayi County, a way connecting Rueili with the outside, was covered with tar, Teapot Restaurant has been selling Rice tube pudding to local people and mountain climbers on Rueili street. Public praises accumulated through over 20 years and continuously-innovated dish combos make this restaurant not only a usual place for tourists to re-feel good flavor but also a leisure location for good friends to chat and have tea.
Teapot restaurant is so named because the government places an ultra-large teapot in the square in front of the restaurant to promote High Mountain Oolong Tea of Rueili. As time passes, this restaurant is called “teapot” restaurant, which is still used today. Even the home stay established by boss Lin Men-Xuan later is also named “Teapot Guesthouse”.
The most famous specialties of Teapot restaurant include “tea-flavor and bamboo-shoot-flavor dish combos made with local tea” as well as “fried tofu in Meishan plum sauce”. The boss’s wife carefully researches and develops tea dishes, and is perfect in cooking “stewed chicken with Oolong tea”: delicious soup and tender chicken bring people infinite aftertaste. Tourists from afar even pack this dish to take back home.
Leading roles of bamboo shoot dish vary in accordance with seasonal change: ma bamboo shoots, makino bamboo shoots, Jiaogao bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots, all of which are wonderful through frying, salting, soup and stewing. In addition, sweet and sour “fried tofu in plum sauce” stimulates the appetite and is suitable for going with rice; professionals won’t miss this feast when eating delicious food in the mountain.
