Tsao Song Inn Introduction
Near Tsao Song Junior High School in Shuile Township, there is an inconspicuous little restaurant, decorated with bamboo on the outside, with a small sign that reads "Tsao Song Guesthouse." The owner, Huang Wen-jun, returned to his hometown to open the restaurant seven years ago and has become a well-known culinary spot among the locals. A man filled with artistic talents, Huang has transformed his traditional courtyard into a 1950s-style countryside restaurant, adorned with posters of old singers, vinyl music, large red lanterns, vintage furniture, and various old political propaganda banners that create the illusion of stepping back in time. The dishes served in the restaurant are all home-cooked meals, and to ensure freshness, they insist on using local ingredients, aiming to keep the "food mileage" within five kilometers. Ingredients such as eels from Kouhu, Taiwan tilapia, local free-range chickens, and eels are used, and the backyard is planted with eggplants, peppers, papayas, and other vegetables for immediate use. Under Huang Wen-jun's hands, various local ingredients are creatively and deliciously crafted, retaining the memories of gourmet enthusiasts.
