Long Zhuang Garden Restaurant, surrounded
by beautiful greenery and divided into indoor and outdoor
sections, is reportedly the first Taiwan restaurant
to serve barbecued piglet. Hong Kong native Chef Zhou,
who has 22 years of commitment to the restaurant business,
can talk your ears off about the whole process of producing
a golden, crispy piglet, from weighing the pig, spice
preparation, cutting, boiling and drying to hanging
it over a blazing fire in order to squeeze out the extra
fat. The crispy skin is crunchy and rich in collagen
while the meat inside is tasty. Barbecued Piglets are
NT$360 each. Chef Zhou's specialty dish, Jing Sha Ribs,
is NT$280 and the traditionally prepared Kiln Roasted
Prawn is NT$300. A group set menu, perfect for six diners,
is also available for NT$1,880. The ingredients are
specially selected for top-end quality but are offered
for reasonable prices. This restaurant's lovely surroundings
make it a great place for group gatherings, snacking
or just a drink.
