Beef, pork, and chicken can be found in most restaurants, but snails are more of a delicacy. On Hanyang North Road in Taitung is a small but popular restaurant that makes delicious dishes out of local ingredients, including snails, which the chef stir-fries.

A generous amount of rice wine lights up as the food is stir-fried, filling the space with a mouthwatering aroma. Working skillfully and efficiently, the chef finishes the dish in a flash.

Lined up on the table is a whole series of Indigenous dishes local to Taitung, cooked to perfection. Among them is the restaurant’s signature dish, stir-fried snails.

The inspiration for this snail specialty came six years ago.

Owner
I originally worked as a chef in the northwest. Then six years ago I moved from Tainan to Taitung because of a flood. I always wanted to open a restaurant. When I came home, I saw snails on the street and thought they would make a great ingredient.

Snail dishes are often found in Hualien and Taitung. When this chef returned to his hometown of Taitung and opened his own restaurant, local ingredients were his starting point. One of the dishes is named after his daughter, an elementary-school student with a talent for cooking.

Owner
My youngest daughter told me that she also wanted to cook, so we made a dish out of ingredients that she likes. This dish is stir-fried pork.

The owner is not only a great chef, but also a talented musician. Charmed by good music and a delicious meal, customers quickly fall in love with this restaurant.

Owner
I play guitar and sing songs with my friends. We sing some Indigenous and classic songs, and it makes us feel even better as we eat.

Customer
I came at the beginning when he barely had any customers. He slowly took off, improving one step at a time.

Long-time customers have seen this small restaurant grow step by step. They come here not only to enjoy delicious food, but to feel the warmth of a meal shared among friends.
