Taipei National Museum 1


Silks Palace, sounds like some huge place? This restaurant located at the National Museum of Taiwan. The environment is really cozy with dim lights. Imperial Dish from Tang Dynasty. Prawn dumpling (Har Kao), ‘Sui Long Pao’ aka meat dumpling with half a spoon full soup inside. How do you eat this? Bite a tiny hole at the corner of the dumpling skin, then sip the soup out slowly, close your eyes and enjoy the sweetness of the soup. Don’t gobble it down as the soup is hot and it will burn you.

Taiwan’s most famous cabbage trademark. It was said, Jadeite Cabbage has been called the "most famous masterpiece". It was first displayed in the Forbidden City's Yonghe Palace. The sculpture is considered an allegory of female virtue with the white stalk symbolizing purity, the leaves denoting fertility and abundance and locust and katydid representing children.

Guess what? It’s on my table now, slide on a spoon and I am going to eat this. Kidding! Mine is the human grown cabbage made in this restaurant Silk Palace. It taste…. Just like a cabbage.
