This teahouse and restaurant is one of the most extraordinary new establishments Taichung has seen in a while. The large building is really a museum of sorts and contains an entire, authentic-looking recreation of a Taiwan street from about 60 to 80 years ago, complete with Ching Dynasty and colonial-era store fronts and hundreds of real antiques and items collected by one of the owners. This includes old mail boxes, signs and posters, a 40-year-old taxi, bicycles, photos and fully-stocked camera store, dentist office, candy and toy store, barbershop and movie theater. Up to about 250 customers can sit at tables along the street, or inside shops, and enjoy multiple-course set Chinese and Taiwanese meals (NT$280-680), or other meals, like Beef and Oyster Sauce Rice, 'Tong Po' Pork, and chicken leg or pork chop rice, for about NT$180, plus snacks and other dishes. The usual variety of iced and hot tea drinks and coffees are also served. VIP rooms for four to 10 people are available. Taiwan Banana is located very close to the Confucius Temple, on the opposite side of the road.
