This unpretentious but contemporary place in Fushi/Taroko village serves set meals with plenty of fresh local ingredients, giving an accessible introduction to regional cuisine.
Your choice of meat or fish morsels comes with three types of local vegetable, soup and two types of sticky rice served in a hollowed bamboo and spiced with maqaw (litsea cubeba), which looks like peppercorn but when crunched tastes like lemongrass. A thimbleful of millet wine is part of the deal along with blue-coloured pea water.
