Walking along, we then came to the second tea house called Ah Mei Si DaChaShi. One thing that I thought will be tough for a number of foreigners is that the teahouses in MaoKong bear no English signs. Even the menu is in Chinese.
The teahouse is perched precariously (I'm very sure the building is on solid ground) at the edge of the mountain and it truly gives diners such a wonderful view. In clearer weather, you can even see Taipei 101.
Looking at the menu, we scratched our heads in trying to figure out what to order. In truth, we barely understood what is listed in the menu as its written in traditional chinese. So when all else fails, go for the set menu. They can give us anything but what I was eyeing at was the pot of hot soup that every table seemed to have.
We were served with a plate of tea leaves fried rice. Never had I had tea leaves in my fried rice. Next came the carrots, vegetables and mushrooms, followed by my CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SOUP HOT POT. Mmmmmmm. Some cold vegetable dish and prawns completed the set meal.
After all that feasting, what better way than to end it with a hot cup of chinese tea.
