Chingye Shinleyuan

In Taiwan, there are an outrageous number of buffet restaurants that offer all-you-can eat food, Chinese and Western cuisine alike. However, the traditional Taiwanese restaurants usually don’t go that way; instead, they offer an à la carte menu where patrons can order individual dishes at set prices off a menu. All-you-can-eat Taiwanese food? That sounds odd. But there’s always an exception like Chingye Shinleyuan, where all-you-can-eat buffets will surely please people with greater-than-average appetites. One could hardly say to to these mouth-watering traditional Taiwanese tastes such as Kung Pao chicken, dried radish and egg frittata, dried/steamed round dumpling with ground meat, oyster omelette, and many more. Dining in this nostalgic, vintage-themed eatery, you might have an illusion of being in the early years of Taiwan. You will be served with pineapple cakes and glutinous rice balls with black sesame stuffing as dessert. On top of that, Oolong tea and Taiwan beer are free and constantly available. Chingye Shinleyuan is a real authentic Taiwanese restaurant that aims to bring the traditional Taiwanese dining experience to the heart of Taipei City.

For the older generation, Chingye Shinleyuan allows them to travel back in time, finding every moment within nostalgia while revisiting their past. It is also where the younger generation get to know all over again the Taiwanese culture and cuisine, as if for the first time. As for the tourists, this is the perfect spot to explore the very best of Taiwan.
