Mountain Dining Introduction
Dengshan Restaurant has meticulously crafted approximately seven types of signature bento boxes for travelers to choose from, including crispy fried pork ribs, osmanthus tea-marinated chicken leg, tender braised pork, stir-fried mountain pork, braised pork with bamboo shoots, bitter tea oil chicken, and vegetarian options. The owner aims to achieve "zero distance from farm to table," using only seasonal local ingredients for the bento boxes. For example, one of the signature dishes, braised pork with bamboo shoots, uses bamboo shoots grown in Fenqi Lake, while the side dishes incorporate freshly-picked, high-elevation vegetables from Alishan, such as dragon whiskers in summer and autumn, and cabbage and broad beans in spring and winter, making them exceptionally crisp and sweet. Another signature dish is the osmanthus-marinated chicken leg bento, which has a refreshing flavor and a generous portion of chicken leg. Of course, the crispy fried pork rib bento is also quite popular. Although pork rib bentos can be found all over Taiwan, this one has a unique old-fashioned Alishan train flavor. The side dishes are thoughtfully prepared, including bamboo shoots, plums, vegetables, dried tofu, and sauerkraut, ensuring a balanced nutrition. The pork ribs are braised to perfection, emitting an enticing aroma, making the entire bento box delightful and tempting. There's also the tender braised pork bento, which is a personal recommendation that you must try! The cooking of tender pork is inherited from Grandma Li Ping's secret recipe and technique; it’s fried before being braised, resulting in extreme tenderness that can be easily chewed even if you have dental issues. The marinated pork chop provides a savory and flavorful experience...
