Chingjing Xiao Yunnan Restaurant

I didn't expect there is Yunnan cuisine here. It's quite authentic. The dishes are generally greasy. The roasted chicken is good. The chickens on the farm are not big, but they are all fed with organic feed.

There are many Yunnan restaurants in Qingjing Farm. I passed by and saw this Xiao Yunnan restaurant, which specializes in Yunnan cuisine and provides free pick-up and drop-off services. So I had dinner here, and there was a car to take me back to the B&B. The signature dish here is Wengzai Chicken, which is freshly baked. I ordered one, and the color was well roasted, and the skin was a little crispy, and it felt like a roast chicken. Yunnan Crispy Pork Casserole, the crispy meat is pork, and the meat is tender and smooth. Angelica baked eggs, I didn't taste much angelica flavor. Stir-fried wild boar meat with green onions, the wild boar meat here is quite refreshing. The soup, with assorted mushrooms, cordyceps flowers and pork, feels too oily.

It was already past six in the evening when we got to the mountain. We wanted to eat something hot, so the owner of the B&B helped us book this restaurant and called the restaurant to pick us up. The waitress recommended the chicken bream, which was sold whole. We definitely couldn’t finish it, but we ordered it anyway because we wanted to try it. Later, the foreigner and his Taiwanese girlfriend at the next table also wanted to order this roasted chicken and asked if it could be sold in half. We were quick-witted and immediately said, “We can share.” The other party immediately said, “Really? Okay, okay, that’s great!” It tasted pretty good. After the roasted chicken was served, it was served with a bowl of chicken soup and two small dishes of seasonings, pepper salt and sweet and sour sauce.

The restaurant's meal times are very punctual, the environment and hygiene are good, the service staff are considerate and have a good service attitude and are very thoughtful. The restaurant's meals include roast chicken, Hakka stir-fry, deep-fried river shrimp, quick-fried bamboo shoots, stir-fried cabbage, steamed sea bass, and clear-boiled dragon fish soup. The whole meal is pretty good, the service staff are very enthusiastic and humorous, and every time I asked about the meal, they gave a very humorous answer, which made me have to give it a five-star rating. The dining space is spacious and there is no sense of oppression. The whole time arrangement is very smooth. It is a good place to relax and eat. There is also a dog bites pig dish, but there is no dog, so the restaurant owner gave an extra free dish as compensation. It is a very generous restaurant. Of course, the restaurant has many other delicacies, you can only experience it yourself!

I stayed at Qingjing Farm at night. After searching around, I decided to eat at this restaurant. In fact, due to historical reasons, there are many Yunnan restaurants near Qingjing Farm. The reviews of this restaurant are pretty good. It was only after eating that I found out that this restaurant can pick up and drop off for dinner. But it’s not far to walk by yourself, so just take it as a walk. The signature is roast chicken, freshly roasted, it smells good, and the skin is crispy, but the only problem is that the chickens used here in Taiwan are all large breed chickens, and the chicken is not tender enough. I ordered a set meal, which is a set meal with a fixed price. The portion is actually quite large, but to be honest, for Yunnan cuisine, this one is considered to have improved taste, so it’s not very delicious, and it’s still sweet. The service of the proprietress is still good and very enthusiastic.

Take a bus from Taichung to Cingjing. There's a stop at the Cingjing Farm Visitor Service Center, next to Xiao Yunnan Restaurant. Many of the residents of Cingjing are descendants of Yunnan soldiers who served in the Nationalist Army, so many restaurants specialize in Yunnan cuisine. If you're looking for something more substantial, Xiao Yunnan offers Baiyi-style meals; if you're looking for something simple, there are simple meals and hot pot options.
