We love this hidden gem so much that we ate here four times during our stay. It was affordable, not crowded, and the shop's ambiance gives a countryside vibes. The first night, we had beef noodle soup and braised pork rice. Although the soup tasted a little bit too sweet for my liking, the meat was very tender. The one that surprised me was how delicious the braised pork rice was for its price. On the next day we tried the ramen and I had the one with kimchi. It was really delectable!

We walked around and finally saw this Alishan Shin Shin restaurant that was still open. Walked in and sat down. We ordered the chicken fillet rice and beef stew rice that came with soup. I like the beef stew rice and the soup was very yummy. However the chicken fillet took around 10mins or slightly more to be served on the table. Despite it being late served, the lady boss was very friendly and apologetic for the delay. The chicken fillet was good. We found that the seats were a bit uneven on the ground. Therefore, just beware. In short, the beef...
