Mountain Dining Hall Introduction
The Mountain Dining Hall has carefully designed around seven types of specialty bento boxes for travelers to choose from, including fried pork ribs, osmanthus tea braised chicken leg, soft roasted pork, stir-fried mountain pork, bamboo shoots stewed with braised pork, chicken with bitter tea oil, and vegetarian options. The owner aims to achieve "zero distance from farm to table," sourcing all bento ingredients from seasonal local produce. For instance, one of the signature bentos, bamboo shoots stewed with braised pork, uses bamboo shoots produced in Fenqihu; the side dishes are all made with freshly harvested high-altitude vegetables from Alishan, such as bracken in summer and fall, cabbage in spring and winter, and broad beans, which are particularly crispy and sweet. Another signature dish is the osmanthus braised chicken leg bento, which is refreshing with a generous portion of chicken leg. Of course, the fried pork ribs bento is also quite popular. Although pork rib bentos are available throughout Taiwan, this version has a unique flavor reminiscent of the Alishan small train, and the side dishes are generously prepared with bamboo shoots, plums, vegetables, tofu, and sauerkraut, ensuring balanced nutrition. The pork ribs are braised to perfection, emanating a savory aroma, and the entire bento is visually appealing and mouthwatering. Additionally, the soft roasted pork bento is a highly recommended taste that you must try! The preparation of the soft roasted pork is inherited from Grandma Li Ping's secret recipe and craftsmanship, first fried and then braised, resulting in an extremely tender texture that can be easily chewed even for those with dental issues; the marinated pork chop is salty and flavorful...
