In an era of technological advances and information explosion, people who lived through the 1950s–1960s, when Taiwan’s economy first took off, fondly remember the strong warmth of human kindness and the cheerful acceptance of fate that filled daily life. To help those of the post-war generation—his parents’ peers—rediscover those fading memories, Mr. Sun, born in the 1980s, opened Hou-dao Eatery. Drawing on more than ten years of design experience, he turned his passion for vintage treasures into a Republican-era themed restaurant: outside, a tricycle; inside, a Formosan yellow ox specimen. Together with traditional dishes—pork-chop rice, chicken-leg rice, pickled-bamboo-shoot and sliced-pork soup, herbal root brew—every corner and every bite is crafted to whisk diners through a time tunnel back to childhood. If, like Mr. Sun, you’re enchanted by nostalgic Taiwan, Hou-dao Eatery is worth a visit!
