Yun Dong Gen Soup Introduction
The legendary high-end restorative cuisine restaurant that has been selling only one soup for decades, "Yun Dun Gen," surely piques many people's curiosity. "Yun" refers to circulation, "Dun" signifies the unhealthy aspects within the body, and "Gen" emphasizes strengthening one's foundation and regenerative capacity. The combination of these three characters, pronounced in Taiwanese, carries the same meaning. Dining here is quite unique; you start by drinking three bowls of soup on an empty stomach. After drinking the soup, the reactions produced from absorbing the medicinal effects can indicate your health condition. Healthy individuals will feel hungry, while those with excess liver fire may feel nauseous. Everyone reacts differently, so the restaurant thoughtfully provides an elegant and comfortable space for guests to relax. To savor this soup, you must make a reservation in advance. Each pot of soup is simmered for 8 hours with 50 precious medicinal ingredients and rice wine, and then the essence extracted from black-boned chicken is added and cooked for another half hour. Being able to taste it is a blessing.
