Basil Taro Stem $180
This is a rare specialty dish and a childhood memory of mine! The taro stems are simmered until tender and fully infused with the rich aroma of basil. Salty and fragrant, it pairs perfectly with rice and has a smooth, nostalgic texture that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Goji Greens $150
Just hearing the name feels nourishing. The goji greens have a light fragrance and a tender yet slightly crisp texture. Stir-fried simply with goji berries and enoki mushrooms, it’s delicious and captures the natural essence of mountain cuisine.
Tomato with Double Eggs $200
The sweet-and-sour tomatoes pair with eggs, century eggs, and kimchi for a rich, layered flavor. The sauce is also great for mixing with rice.
Century Egg with Sweet Potato Leaves $150
Sweet potato leaves stir-fried with century egg are tender with no bitterness. The distinctive mellow flavor of the century egg blends into the stir-fry sauce, adding depth to this simple green dish.
Fried Rice + Egg $120
The fried rice grains are distinct and not greasy. What’s special is the addition of basil, giving it a rich herbal aroma that makes it especially delicious.
Sweet Potato & Taro Platter $100
We finished with this as a snack. The exterior is fried crispy, while the sweet potato and taro inside are soft and sweet. At this price, it’s perfect for sharing.
Though 田園蔬食餐坊 isn’t a fancy influencer-style spot, it has a pure, down-to-earth feel. The dishes follow a home-style stir-fry approach with good seasoning, a wide variety of wild vegetables, and affordable prices— no wonder it stays popular.
