The location of the Monkey Feather River is opposite the Han Pin Hotel, which is currently being demolished.
The benchmark cuisine of Hualien's Japanese food is far more delicious than the well-known eateries in Taipei, where you can enjoy exquisite sashimi and impressive eel liver. In particular, the owner's dedication to the ingredients and passion for cooking elevate the delicious dishes served to a superior level.
Today's eel was handled exceptionally well, with no fish bone sensation. The grilled eel is rich in oil, with the skin slightly crispy and a unique sauce that isn’t the overly sweet type of Japanese sauce. When paired with perfectly cooked, fluffy, and chewy rice, it's easy to eat two large bowls.
Accompanied by pickled cucumbers and white radish, the radish is pickled with yuzu peel, adding a refreshing citrus aroma. The three ways to enjoy eel include: 1. the original flavor enhances the fish with sansho pepper, 2. mixing it with seaweed, sesame, and shredded green onion pairs perfectly with the eel rice, and 3. having eel soaked in broth is very comforting.
The sashimi in the seafood donburi consists of fresh fish hand-picked by the owner that day, with an abundance of seafood and salmon roe, making for a truly satisfying meal.
This time, sitting at the counter and watching the chef meticulously pick out fish bones and inspect them before grilling was an incredible experience.
