The “Buttermilk Restaurant” at amba Taipei Zhongshan Yishè Hotel is a modern American eatery that blends signature flavors from the East Coast, the South, and the West Coast of the United States, offering diners an elevated version of classic American cuisine and a joyful, relaxed dining atmosphere. The chef’s recommended dish, “Grandma’s Secret Recipe Fried Chicken,” is said to rival the “world’s most delicious fried chicken recipe” praised by a Michelin three-star chef.

This “Buttermilk Grandma’s Secret Recipe Fried Chicken” is the precursor to the world’s most delicious “Rosemary Buttermilk Fried Chicken.” It's a classic Southern-style American fried chicken where wings, drumsticks, and breasts are marinated in a spiced sea salt brine for deep flavor, then tenderized in “buttermilk” to enhance taste. Coated in a specially made Southern-style fried chicken breading and deep-fried to crisp perfection, it’s served with sweet and tangy watermelon seasoned with lemon and herbs for a refreshing contrast, along with garlic-infused white cheese sauce and fiery red chili sauce to add extra flavor fun.

Buttermilk, also known as “buttermilk” or “cultured buttermilk,” is a low-fat dairy product produced during the butter-making process using a skimming technique. It has a slightly tangy flavor, and while some foreign visitors drink it straight, chefs often use it for cooking or baking.
