This restaurant offers various stir-fried vegetarian dishes and vegetarian marinade for take-out, as well as a bright ambiance featuring Tibetan Nepalese Buddhist decorations. Executive chef and owner Chen Hong-shan has worked in the restaurant business for many years and made the changeover to vegetarian dining seven years ago when his sister became a Buddhist nun and advised him against eating meat. Since then, he has focused on introducing creative elements to vegetarian dishes.
Prices vary from NT$30 to over NT$150 for the marinaded items here and the menu includes stir-fried dishes (NT$130/small, NT$250/large), hot pots (NT$400/small, NT$450/large), soups (NT$150/small, NT$300/large), "recommended new dishes" (NT$200/small, NT$400/large), and chef's recommendation items (NT$150/small, NT$300/large).
  
Medium: Taro Salad with Lettuce
(NT$400/large) is an egg-free
dish made with steamed taro
that is deep fried and wrapped

yams, providing a crunchy texture and salty flavor.

Hot Plate Sea Bamboo Fungus (NT$200) is a collagen-rich dish
