“Bamei” preserves memories from the 1930s; Bamei Suits once enjoyed great renown in Chiayi City, but the clatter of sewing machines faded as mechanized ready-to-wear factories took over. Today, on cold days, Bamei Restaurant is always packed; people squeeze into the tiny space to eat together, laughter rising nonstop. Against the old house photos on the walls, one imagines the family’s everyday life of years gone by, warmth flowing on and on.
