Time-honored Local Chicken Restaurant

Time-honored Local Chicken Restaurant

　　The Dakeng Scenic Area, often likened to the backyard garden of Taichung City, not only boasts pleasant scenery but is also a well-known destination for local chicken cuisine. West of the Dakeng Roundabout along Section 2 of Dongshan Road, nestled along both sides of the road and the banks of the Dakeng Stream, are charming and modern pavilions and houses that light up brightly and buzz with lively chatter every evening. A signature dish at the Dakeng chicken restaurants is the bamboo shoot chicken, made with free-range local chicken and locally grown bamboo shoots. This dish is the most iconic offering of the Dakeng chicken spots, and time-honored eateries such as Yi Mei Yuan and Taichung Local Chicken Restaurant are particularly famous for it. The bamboo shoots, picked fresh on the day, are sweet and flavorful, paired with tender and evenly textured local chicken – a truly mouthwatering treat. (Taichung County)
