Restaurant’s Crops (伏見稻荷生機園地)

Another interesting aspect of the restaurant is that within the same area, small tomatoes are cultivated and also passion fruits, which in my country we turned them into juice, but here in Taiwan is eaten as a dessert and turns into drinks too, during the harvest time are served for consumption of customers.

张 美 莺 owner, manager and Phoebe’s mother, is responsible for making it possible to enjoy these delicious vegetables and fruits. She arrives early every morning to take care, water and monitor their crops; it is also the only one in charge of collecting them at harvest time.

Unfortunately during the period we were there, the fruits could not be harvested yet, so we did not have the chance to try them, but to tell from the pictures they have on their Facebook page, the look they have makes me feel “mouth-watered”, it really looks very juicy and nutritious.

A very important thing to note about the restaurant is that it is surrounded by rice fields, which gives a very special feeling, as the restaurant is located in an area near downtown, not too far from the bustle of the city. But being surrounded by rice fields, the feeling of leaving far away the busyness of the main streets makes you feel that you are in a very peaceful place, once you enter it is like being in a field with nothing to disturb you. The feeling is quite unique!
