Yun Dun Gen Soup

Taipei Foods


The legendary high-end herbal cuisine restaurant that has only sold one soup for decades, "Yun Dun Gen," undoubtedly piques many people's curiosity. "Yun" refers to operation, "Dun" refers to the unhealthiness within the body, and "Gen" signifies the strengthening of one's foundation and regenerative abilities. The three characters, when pronounced in Taiwanese, convey a similar meaning. Dining here is quite special; guests first drink three bowls of soup on an empty stomach. After consuming the soup, reactions caused by the absorption of its medicinal effects can indicate one's health status. Healthy individuals may feel hungry, while those with excessive liver fire might feel nauseous. Everyone has different reactions, so the restaurant thoughtfully designed an elegant and comfortable space for guests to relax. To enjoy this soup, reservations must be made, as each pot is simmered for eight hours with 50 precious herbs and rice wine, then infused with essence extracted from black-boned chicken, cooked for an additional half hour. Being able to taste it is a blessing.
