A storefront can easily be missed (luckily the sign is pretty eye‑catching), but a low‑key shop usually hides a fantastic flavor. Yong‑fu Catering is located in Shizai. Whether you’re at the top of the hill, strolling around Shizai to enjoy the tea fields or view the sea of clouds, or you continue up the mountain, Shizai is a worthwhile stop. The must‑try dish at Yong‑fu Catering is the bitter‑tea oil chicken. A seasoned foodie would tell you that you shouldn’t miss the stir‑fried ginger that lifts the flavor or the bitter‑tea oil at the bottom of the plate. The ginger is fragrant and crisp, and the bitter‑tea oil at the bottom is perfect for mixing with rice—simple, humble, yet deliciously comforting. Other local must‑eat items include wasabi tofu, bamboo shoots, dragon‑hair vegetable, and bamboo‑shoot soup. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients give them a wonderful taste. When you come to Alishan next time, consider adding Yong‑fu Catering to your itinerary.
