「Jiajiajiu Book Restaurant」
The owner Mei-yuan was a hostess of a radio show before she returned to her homeland to start her own business. As she was doing an interview, she met an old farmer who approached her with a salt mixed with prickly ash and asked her if she could help him sell it. She later started to serve fried rice seasoned with the salt and mixed with the smoky bacon of wild boar caught by local hunters. With its tea fragrance, the dish has won the heart of visitors and locals alike. As the sales volume of the salt increased, other local farmers, including some old ones, started to visit her for consignment of their agricultural produce, which is displayed in one corner of the dining area like an installation artwork. While Mei-yuan takes pride in serving healthy budget meals and running the book store; it is also a venue for her personal placemaking project as a former media worker.
