Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜Mao Yuan Restaurant

Excellent local Taiwanese food. Have not eaten here for 3 years due to COVID restrictions. Once in Taipei, we dine in this restaurant every week. Just love the fish, chicken, squid balls, oysters etc etc. Highly recommended.

Traditional Taiwanese cuisine. Old school. You are here to taste the genuine flavour of Taiwan produce and seafood. Nothing fancy, just plain good food, and great beer!

[Pink Liver] Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer delicious noodles. Maoyuan’s noodles are one of the few delicious ones. Maoyuan's pink liver is soft yet firm. The thickness of the slices is just enough to taste the elasticity of the pink liver. It can also present the elegant and pure aroma of liver and sauce in the mouth. There is no fishy smell at all. It is delicious when eaten alone. Then I have to mention again that the chili soy sauce provided by the store is really good; the noodle liver is also very delicious when dipped in the chili soy sauce. The stimulation of the chili gives the noodle liver a different sweet aroma, which is really delicious! [Boiled Chicken/Half] I have passed by Mao Yuan Restaurant hundreds of times before, but I have never been to "Mao Yuan Restaurant" for dining. When I want to eat, either the reservations are fully booked, or there are no reservations on site. I passed by around eight o'clock a while ago and saw an empty table. I asked tentatively that I could have a meal, so I took action immediately. This white chicken is very delicious. After taking the first bite, I completely understand why it is fully booked every day. I am relieved that I couldn't get a reservation before. When I took my first bite of the chicken, my first thought was: It’s been a long, long time since I’ve tasted such rich meat. Totally a surprise! The richness of the chicken should be due to the use of a larger chicken than what we usually eat. It has the simple and natural taste of childhood. Needless to say, the goodness of the leg meat is great, especially the jelly under the sweet chicken skin, which fills the mouth with the wonderful aroma of chicken; the skin of the chicken breast is thin and crispy, and the chicken breast is soft and firm, and the meat is full of flavor. The key point is that you must dip it in the chili soy sauce provided by the store, because even the chili in this store is delicious. The white chopped chicken is paired with the spicy chili soy sauce, which brings out another sweet flavor of the chicken. This white chopped chicken is so beautiful. real. good. eat! [Clam Luffa] Maoyuan's clam and loofah is original and sweet, without much seasoning; it only brings out the sweetness of the loofah and the freshness of the clams. When you enter the mouth, the ingredients taste sweet, but the freshness of the clams and loofah are rich in the soup. This dish is very refreshing and relieves greasiness. The soup alone is just delicious and rich. The soup can also be combined with white rice to make an alternative rice dumpling. It is also a satisfying and delicious dish. It’s not bad! 🔆 Instagram: richroom0803
