At FlOwEr PaLaCe_No. 39 GuEsT HoUsE (三十九號招待所)

After some ride, stomach started to growl ! Fortuante Arthur called me and checking on my safetly....and suggested me to try out Bro Mao (毛哥) dishes. Took down the address and heading there! 


Arrived at Bro Mao's restuarant...I The restaurant was quiet (but with some jazz music) and simple. I was the only customer. Bro Mao began to chat with me and our conversation broke the emptiness in the restaurant ☃
The restuarant wall was pasted with old newspapers and children drawings. Bro Mao explained the meaning of each drawings. All these drawings were drew by primary school kids age of 10. Their drawings and mind had showed the meaning of Hualien. So creative ㊣ 

During our conversation, I realized that Bro Mao managed the restaurant himself. He is the waiter, chef and bartender (liquor only serve after 9pm). Bro Mao recommended to try "braised lion head" (紅燒獅子頭) as I mentioned to him that I want to pork and with vegetables. While Bro Mao was preparing the food, I shot some pictures of the restaurant...and waiting my dinner to be ready ｡◕‿◕｡


Finally my dinner was ready...°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤°
My first impression: simple and quite colorful (braised beancurd, scramble egg, wild vegetables and braised pork with cabbage soup) - NT 170
Bro Mao knew that I was super duper hungry and gave me alot of rice! Gosh...made me so full and bloated..hahaha But I had managed to finish up all the food (all ingredients are organic)  The cabbage in the soup was so soft and it absorbed the soup essence. When I tried to chew, the soup essence splashed out inside my mouth! Yummy!!! Really go well with rice and the soup was not salty at all. Beside that, the wild vegetables were also abit crunchy. A simple dish yet with colorful taste!

After dinner, Bro Mao offered me _"Revolution Coffee" (革命咖啡)
This coffee has 18 years history, specially mix with 4 coffee beans and even after cooling still remain mellow sweet. The taste really special. After dinner ..a cup of "Revolution Coffee" was extremely perfect (>’.’<)

Another dish I would like to recommend to everyone. If you like fermented bean curd, you should order steam fermented bean curd. You can inform Bro Mao of your spicy level so that he can prepare specially for you. Of course the smell is extremely unbearable however taste is really awesome. Really go well with rice. This is a must try dish. Thanks Theresa for this recommendation...she knows my preference.

My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best (^_−)−☆
Taste it and you will LOVE IT
