Yilan Flower Wine Chicken — An Unconventional Hot Pot from Guangdong
The first establishment in Taiwan to introduce cuisine from Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China, this spot emphasizes flavors and cooking styles that “transition from heavy to light, and from dry to moist.” Using a special sauce, chicken, rice cakes, and vegetables are braised until tender, then stirred together before eating.
