The Mafei Restaurant is led by a top chef from a five‑star hotel, assembling a team of elite cooks who craft dishes using seasonal ingredients from Alishan. The chef’s meticulous design brings a traditional Zhuangzu cuisine infused with innovation. “Mafei” (pronounced “mafe”) means “delicious” in the Zhuangzu language. Dining in front of large, transparent view glass, you can admire the beautiful mountain scenery, tea plantations, and thatch‑roofed villages, satisfying both your visual and gustatory senses. A must‑try when you visit a Zhuangzu cultural village is the indigenous‑style flavor cuisine. A popular dish, “Gold‑Tea Fragrant Dongpo Pork,” is made with premium black pork belly, combined with Alishan Le-Yi Village golden‑tea oolong and over‑ten‑year‑old aged tea braising liquid. It delivers a soft, chewy texture that’s oily yet not greasy, with a subtle tea aroma—an essential choice for anyone visiting Alishan Tea Town. The “Alishan Bitter Tea Oil Chicken” features free‑range chickens from Alishan Le‑Yi Village and ginger, seasoned with homemade bitter tea oil from Alishan Xin‑Mei Village. The chicken is simply marinated with bitter tea oil, ginger slices, and a touch of rice wine. The tender local chicken is infused with a strong bitter tea oil fragrance, and the oil’s unsaturated fatty acids reach 83%, making it highly beneficial for the body.
