Qiaonan Food Cafe Introduction
No. 16 Ancient House is a well-preserved example of traditional Taiwanese street houses. This type of street house features a semi-loft design at the first floor, equipped with a well that allows goods to be transported up and down. Each level has a skylight to facilitate natural lighting, and there is a water corridor designed to function as a kitchen. Due to the successful community construction of Qiaonan Old Street, it attracted Ye Nai-wei, who previously operated a nostalgic five-point coffee business in Houbi Wushulin, to return to his hometown to engage in community initiatives. He transformed No. 16 Ancient House into a café, letting the fragrance of Taiwanese organic coffee waft throughout Qiaonan Old Street. Notably, Mr. Ye is a vinyl record enthusiast, with record covers he has collected adorning the walls of the ancient house. Sipping a cup of coffee, one might suddenly be greeted by the old songs played from vintage record players, and it might just feel like stepping into a time tunnel. The No. 13 Food Pavilion is seamlessly connected to the No. 16 Café, allowing visitors to explore further.
