Shih Chuang Tzu Neigh Introduction
At the foot of Mt. Datun in Tamsui, there is an ancient house, delicious food, and aromatic coffee, a gastronomic paradise where poets gather. This is the ancestral home of the renowned poet Li Kuixian, known as "Shiqiangzai Ne," a traditional courtyard that has been passed down through three generations. In 1871, Li Shanshi, the ancestor, cultivated Tamsui and Sanzi and built this courtyard, incorporating architectural features designed for defense against bandits and to protect the household and livestock. These features have been preserved to this day, and the house has been renovated into a beautiful tiled residence. Locals refer to the Li family residence as Shiqiangzai Ne. With over a hundred years of history and an expansive area of over 4,000 square meters, it is home to 23 century-old trees, making it a delightful experience to relax, savor delicious food, and enjoy coffee. The local signature dishes at Shiqiangzai Ne are highly praised by food enthusiasts, showcasing the essence of traditional flavors. The simple yet delightful white-cut native chicken allows the natural sweetness of the chicken to shine through, while the stir-fried cabbage and asparagus with shrimp embody healthy, harmonious flavors, helping the body connect with nature and embrace the joys of slow food. Don't miss the old-fashioned fried rice noodles and lotus leaf tofu, as the flavors reveal the skilled cooking of grandmothers, offering an aromatic and rich taste that completely captivates the palate.
