「Chenggong Culture Bank」
The restaurant is a renovated building that was previously the Chenggong branch of the Land Bank. Today, it is no longer a depository for cash, but for the longstanding food culture legacies of Chenggong. The team running this restaurant carefully studied the history of craftmenship, including the food collection by local female divers harvesting shells and mollusks in the sea, before they opened the restaurant. Visitors can taste a variety of seashells and mollusks collected in the intertidal zone as well as other seasonal dishes made with native ingredients such as marlin cuisine by the captain of harpooning boat and braised pork with dried fish from Green Island. To introduce local marine culture to its visitors, there is a small space reserved for an exhibition about the ecosystem of the intertidal zone and traditional practices of food preservation. Visitors can get to know the food culture of the Amis people and support sustainable ocean practices with their consumption here.
