Opening its menu is just like opening a cook book.

 


 

Behind the screen, it says, “Legend of the West, Pleasure of the Food, and Memories of the Old Street”, which states the spirit that the Mo-Chi Restaurant tries to pursue. The Mo-Chi Restaurant is located on Ta-Ping Old Street where the vintage atmosphere is preserved. It was on this Baroque style street that the Mo-Chi Restaurant started its renewal project. Ta-Ping Old Street is not as busy as Zhong-Shan Street, but it has the most beautiful memorable histories.

The Mo-Chi Restaurant was the first stereotype printing store in Dou-Liu. It is surprising that it now becomes a restaurant which serves exotic cuisines. An old building has transformed into a restaurant which embeds the philosophy in the Chinese classics, the Journey to the West.The stereotype printing store printed the stories whereas the restaurant presents the stories in its dishes.

The owner told us that the Mo-Chi Restaurant is run by four friends. Why does the Journey to the West interrelate with the restaurant? Because there are four main characters in the Journey to the West: Tang Monk, Monkey King, Sha Monk, and Pigsy, who respectively represent these four friends. Among them, one is good at interior design, one is good at cooking, one is good at activity planning, and the other one is a music teacher.

The stereotype printing store is now rebuilt and becomes the Mo-Chi Restaurant on Ta-Ping Old Street. The elegant building with plain bricks on its exterior mainly attracts female customers and office workers. Its first floor is a restaurant, and its second floor sells antiques and accessories.

 

There are English explanations to go with the fortune slips.

 

The Mo-Chi Restaurant offers set meals priced from NT$499, NT$699, to NT$899. We chose the NT$499 set meals which served a shrimp salad with cocktail dressing as an appetizer. The shrimps tasted a little sour but fresh. There was also a mix of pork jelly, tomato, beans, cucumbers, ginkgoes, and pineapples. It was very delicious.

The restaurant owner gave us their home-made candies and two Mini magnets in a round box which had a tiger stamp on the lid. It was a gift full of childhood memories.
