Crescent Phoenix - Sanyi

On the way to Shengxing Station (勝興車站), you cannot miss the architecturally distinctive Hakka restaurant, Crescent Phoenix. Perhaps this is because you can feel the perfect combination of the natural landscape and the manmade building when you look at it closely. Or maybe it is because the climbing vines on its walls seem to decrease the sense of rigidity of the concrete building, while a floor to ceiling window design also reflects the garden greenery. Once you go inside, you will soon discover that dining while appreciating nature just under your nose is absolutely the best way to relax. And in addition to the beauty of the landscape outside, it would be wrong not to mention the delicious cuisine served here.

At Crescent Phoenix, Hakka cuisine has been reinvented and refined, highlighting the chef's ingenuity and skill. There is no dish that better demonstrates this than smoked tofu roll (煙燻腐皮捲), made of bamboo shoots and mushrooms, with a sprinkle sesame smoked on the outside. It provides a multi-layered taste that instantly increases your appetite for more. In addition, grilled tofu (豆腐燒), mixed vegetarian stew (素燜什錦) and Matsusaka pork with crisp melon (脆瓜松阪豬), are all examples of Hakka cuisine you absolutely cannot miss here. After your meal, a cup of Roselle juice (洛神花茶), accompanied by refreshing sweet osmanthus cake (桂花糕), is the perfect end to your culinary journey into the yummiest of Hakka food culture.
