媽煮樓扁食

This place is a bit outside of town and has a nice view of the fields, though they said daytime the view is much better. The place itself has a bit of an upscale vibe, with better presentation of dishes than general restaurants and nice quality wooden tables. Food was all pretty good and quick, and generally we were pretty satisfied.

This is a very well known place for fish head stew, and we went with quite a large party. There was parking pretty close by as well and the wait wasn't too bad either for how crowded it was outside. Most people thought the chicken rice was great and the soup was decent, perhaps slightly overhyped but I enjoyed it. Tofu was nice and tender, and not too spicy, and the stew itself was salty and sweet, perhaps a little too much so. And the fish was fresh and tasty, especially the collar flesh. You can refill the soup as well. Service is quick and efficient. Not sure if I would go there again but worth going at least once just to experience it!

We generally always eat here when we come to Sun Moon Lake. Good food, fast service, not too crowded. Vibe is pretty informal, nothing fancy. Toddler liked the fish very much, as well as the fried rice.
