Roasted Chicken NT$650

The roast chicken is richly flavoured with herbs and spices, with a strong note of cumin and wood smoke. The meat was remarkably tender and moist while the skin is beautifully crispy and flavoursome.

Even without any garnishing, the chicken tastes delicious, but for those who want some added flavour, the chicken comes with cloves of roasted garlic, a large slice of lemon, a bowl of chicken drippings and a spiced salt. The addition of these simple ingredients gives every mouthful an explosive flavour.
