Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan : Full House Restaurant, Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area; restaurant review

Full House Restaurant in Taiwan

No. 8 Shuixiu St., Yuchi Township, Nantou County. 

The owner of Full House Restaurant began preparing fruit-enhanced dishes as a way to help his sick wife.  The menu features exotic and delicious items such as soursop fruit with shitake mushrooms or dragon fruit with salmon.  A personal favorite was a fruity-sauced pork dish with very ripe melon.  Hot pot cooking is also an option.

The intriguing dining room is a mish-mash of vintage tables and accessories and features an expansive granite floor.

Throughout, fresh fruits such as giant pomelos and round green squashes are clustered together in attractive arrangements as part of the decor.  Also throughout are hung memorable paintings by the owner’s wife, Lin Yan Ping.
