Appetizers

Dai Pea Jelly Small 250 NTD

Fine, tender, bright yellow pea jelly with pure bean aroma. The special sauce underneath is tangy with a hint of numbness, topped with crushed peanuts, sesame, and cilantro—perfect as an appetizer.

Yunnan Mixed Thin Slices Small 250 NTD

Ultra-thin pig head skin tossed with lemon juice, shredded cabbage, cilantro, and Yunnan spices. No greasy feel, just a slight spicy crunch to whet the appetite.

Signature Classics

Jin Sa Small 230 NTD

Must-order for every table!

Wrap a spoonful of stir-fried minced meat with chili, garlic, and secret Baiyi spices in a crisp lettuce leaf. The sweet crunch of cabbage balances the rich, spicy filling—once you finish one, you'll want another.

Stuffed Fish 480 NTD

A whole fresh fish stuffed with natural herbal spices, tied with string, and deep-fried.

Flake the fish to release the aroma of lemongrass, sawtooth coriander, and spices. The flesh is tender and juicy, infused with herbal fragrance and mild heat—no fishy taste at all.

Dai Pepper麻 Chicken Small 300 NTD

Unlike typical dry Thai fried chicken, this is moistened with pepper麻 sauce. Golden crispy skin soaked in tangy, numbing, slightly sweet sauce. Thick, juicy chicken thigh paired with sauce-soaked shredded cabbage— the Sichuan pepper numbness spreads at the back of the tongue. Addictive.

Rice-Stealing Stir-Fries

Angelica Omelette Small 200 NTD

Fluffy and thick like cake, golden crispy edges, soft and moist inside.

Made with fresh angelica leaves grown in Cingjing. No bitterness, just a sweet, elegant highland herbal aroma and rich egg fragrance.

Coated and fried to extreme crispiness, crackling when bitten, juicy marinated pork inside. Crispy outside, tender inside—delicious plain while hot, or dipped in special chili soy sauce for extra salty-numbing flavor.

Crispy Bamboo Worms Small 350 NTD

A mountain finale that many hesitate to try but foodies rave about! Golden after high-heat frying, no strange smell. Texture like shrimp crackers.

Warming Soups & Handmade Desserts

"Pa Hu" in Baiyi means beef stewed until very tender. The chunks are melt-in-your-mouth soft.

Beef Horn Zongzi Each 75 NTD

Unique handmade pointed horn-shaped zongzi with subtle rice aroma and mild sweetness.

Does the crispy bamboo worm taste weird?

The mental barrier is bigger than the taste! Fried until very dry and crispy, tastes like savory crackers or fried river shrimp—no strange flavor. Worth trying.
