Fragrant Grass 2.0
"Fragrant Grass 2.0 Summer Homework" Three months have flown by since the renovation was completed, and we are gradually becoming more familiar with the new environment and new layout. Summer vacation is also coming to an end. Over these past two months, we have handed in a small "report card": in terms of dishes, temperature, service, …

"Guangfu Barrier Lake" incident
"Next time, step into Hualien as a traveler." Nestled in the slow-paced town of Fenglin, Hualien, we used to be just a restaurant and guesthouse that quietly accompanied travelers.

Raised free-range, they roam freely in the mountains and forests for natural growth. Thanks to sufficient exercise, the meat is firmer and more springy. Upon the first bite, you can taste a natural sweetness with evenly distributed fat and a rich chicken aroma, yet...

A large pot of food for 120 people
Salted egg bamboo shoots. Even for a large batch of 120 servings, we still insist on stir-frying every wok until it is bursting with aroma, slowly frying the salted eggs and emulsifying them into a rich sauce so that every bamboo shoot is coated with a golden, sandy fragrance. We use salted duck egg yolks from Linbian, Pingtung, which are plump and rich in oil, personally selected by the chef...

Fragrant grass and ancient tree chefs
Every single dish at Fangchao is crafted by the hands of these chefs. Their dedication and hard work are often unseen by the guests. The stifling heat, heavy labor, high-pressure pace, and noisy environment in the kitchen constantly drain a person's concentration, yet they still persist in making every single dish...
