Dadongshan Leisure Resort Introduction
The highly acclaimed Dongsan Leisure Resort in the famous Dingshu Scenic Area continually impresses foodies with the ever-evolving culinary skills of the owner. Every visit up the mountain is sure to be a delightful surprise, with the mouthwatering Bai Zhan (White Cut) Chicken being a dish that never fails to impress. With its crispy and refreshing skin and sweet, non-greasy meat, this dish has become a signature must-order item for connoisseurs. The irresistible flavor of the Bai Zhan Chicken comes from owner Jian Kun-Ying's selection of free-range "Corn Chickens" raised for over six months and fed exclusively on corn, which requires no special cooking methods—just boiling in cold water for forty-five minutes and rubbing with salt to create a culinary masterpiece that is both delicious and healthy. In addition to Bai Zhan Chicken, the owner also excels at preparing Scallion Braised Mountain Spring Water Tofu, a dish that often moves first-time diners with its unique smoothness. The resort offers set meals starting from NT$2000, featuring six classic dishes and a soup. The organic vegetables served are both healthy and nutritious, and don't forget to order the stir-fried cabbage and mountain celery. If you're looking to nourish the elderly, be sure not to miss the owner’s other specialty: stewed chicken with "Ashitaba" (tomorrow leaves). After the meal, guests can ask the owner, who also serves as a volunteer guide, to take them on a tour of Dongsan, ensuring they leave with many joyful memories.
