Keng Chi Tea Village has just opened a branch on Shiang Shang Road near Dung Shing Road. This Chinese-style teahouse uses lots of dark wood in its decor. The specialty here is the Fragrant Lotus Tea (NT$180/pot), made from fresh lotus brought in from southern Taiwan. Food is also available. Popular dishes include the mutton with narcissus (NT$350), chrysanthemum and Pu-erh herbal hot pot (NT$300) and steamed chicken (NT$400). Because these dishes are difficult to prepare, they are only available in limited quantities. However, don¡¼)¦¼)øvt worry about walking away hungry, as there are also a number of hot pot choices. After filling your stomach, make sure to order some Pu Erh tea. This tea can reduce triglycerides, to prevent hardening of the arteries, and contains no caffeine.
