The legendary "Yun Dung Gen" herbal restaurant, which has been selling only one pot of soup every few decades, has surely sparked curiosity with its enigmatic name. "Yun" refers to circulation or movement, "Dung" signifies eliminating unhealthy toxins within the body, and "Gen" emphasizes cultivating one's roots and regenerative abilities. Interestingly, the meanings remain consistent when pronounced phonetically in Taiwanese dialect. Dine here in a unique way: first, consume three bowls of soup on an empty stomach. Following absorption of the herbal effects, immediate bodily reactions reveal health conditions—those who feel hungry are in good health, while those with excessive liver fire may feel nauseous. Everyone experiences different responses, so the restaurant thoughtfully designed a refined and comfortable space for guests to rest. Reservations are required to partake in this rare broth. Each pot is meticulously crafted by simmering 50 precious herbal ingredients in rice wine for eight hours before adding black-bone chicken to stew for an additional thirty minutes, extracting the essence into an irreplaceable elixir—one's destiny to savor, indeed.
