From our archives, Compass Magazine, Dec. 2001:
Green Tea House is located along a canal amidst a number of antique and art dealers. Recently, several restaurants, including Sai Na Fen Ning, have opened in this area. Although this restaurant already served European-style afternoon tea, its owner wanted to offer central Taiwan residents a different kind of tea experience. Thus, the second floor was renovated into a Japanese-style teahouse. At the top of the stairs, artificial flower arrangements made by the owner herself come into view, along with cloth window blinds with Japanese sayings written in calligraphy. Simple cloth screens separate the tables and add a touch of elegance. There are two choices of tea: Japanese-style and Pu Erh (NT$300 each). Try an order of homemade vegetable crackers (NT$70). For those with a good appetite, the two-person, five-course “tea meals” (NT$490) are very popular and include Japanese-style tofu, fried chicken filet, grilled beef, fish and salad. Add an order of udon noodles to complete this very satisfying meal and Japanese teahouse experience.
