Pengzu’s Medicinal Cuisine

Pengzu’s Medicinal Cuisine

　　Pengzu is regarded as the god of longevity. Legend has it that he once lived in seclusion beneath Manting Peak in the Wuyi Mountains, subsisting on wild herbs and waterfall water while practicing a reclusive life of health cultivation, and lived to the age of 777. Pengzu’s Medicinal Cuisine is a banquet where dishes serve as the medium, supplemented with therapeutic herbal remedies. The dishes are all made from various wild animals and plants from the Wuyi Mountains, thoughtfully paired with precious Chinese medicinal herbs and meticulously prepared. They are not only delicious but also help nourish the body and improve health. For example, Bei Qi Carp can invigorate qi and vitality; Gastrodia Elata Pig Brain Cake can dispel wind, nourish the brain, and treat chronic headaches; Rare Chrysanthemum Crystal Snake can eliminate rheumatism, clear heat and toxins, and help prevent and fight cancer; Ginseng Black Chicken can nourish and enrich the blood, and strengthen the body; the King Drunken Dragon Bubble, made with snake skin, Rehmannia Root, and Smilax Glabra, has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, clearing heat and toxins, moisturizing the skin, and preventing cancer. This medicinal cuisine allows visitors to enjoy delicious dishes while also bringing the blessing of health and wellness. One Japanese guest, who had recovered from illness, once visited Pengzu Mountain House in the Wuyi Mountains specifically for its reputation and ordered a dish of Ginseng Black Chicken, savoring it with great care.
