The Wu Family has been in the restaurant business for years. After their daughter became a vegetarian due to religious reasons she managed to convince her parents to give up the already well-established business. Instead they started a new business two and a half years ago and it’s devoted to only vegetarian cuisine. It is located in the first alley right behind Lai-Lai Sheraton Hotel. Its well-lit dining space makes the experience even more enjoyable.
Serenity Restaurant serves pure vegetarian dishes. That means no eggs or dairy products with the exception of two hotpots that contain milk as soup stock. Member of the Wu Family are vegetarians who cannot stand bland taste and love flavors. They traveled to Sichuan province for recipes and inspirations in order to make healthy and spicy Sichuan cuisine.
The signature dish “Steamed Sticky Tofu”﹙NT$400﹚is full of aroma and flavorful without the grease. If you’re a hotpot lover “Preserved Chinese Cabbage Hotpot”﹙NT$300/small﹚is delicious and healthy for your body. “Serenity Good Health Hotpot”﹙NT$1,000﹚is big enough for 8 to 10 to share and you’ll have to phone in to order it at least 1 day in advance.
For the summer ahead new dishes are added to the weekday lunch specials. “Japanese Seaweed Cold Noodle”﹙NT$180/including salad, soup and two side dishes﹚is very refreshing on a hot summer day. “Chinese Cabbage Salad”﹙NT$180﹚is like cold slaw and you may ask for slight sour taste for your liking. “Sliced Apples Wrapped In Japanese Perilla frutesce”﹙NT$260﹚is an unusual veggie and fruit combination – a thin layer of peanut butter and crispy apples are wrapped in green leaves. “Jew’s Ear Fungus Sichuan Style Salad”﹙NT$200﹚is slightly spicy and full of nutrients. Jew’s ear fungus is high in protein and that’s why it’s also known as the chicken meat in vegetables. “Steamed Sweet Yam & Vegetable Meat”﹙NT$300﹚accords with the latest diet trend of eating fiber-rich food such as yam. If you love hot and spicy “Hot & Spicy Cold Noodles”﹙NT$160﹚is for sure to perk up your appetite.
從事餐飲業多年的吳姓家庭，因掌上明珠在接觸宗教信仰後開始茹素，進而說服父母放棄原本已穩定基礎的餐廳事業，在兩年半前開始經營素食餐廳。座落在喜來登飯店正後方的第一條巷子，光線良好的用餐空間讓人心情特好。
祥和蔬食餐廳的菜單皆全素，唯有兩道火鍋用到奶類，其他都是無奶無蛋。鑒於一般素食料理淡而無味，再加上自家人都愛重口味，特地遠自四川取經，尋求既健康又麻辣的四川口味。
招牌菜清蒸臭豆腐﹙400元﹚，少了油膩，臭豆腐香氣更入味。喜歡吃火鍋的，酸白菜鍋﹙300元/小﹚好吃卻不對身體造成負擔；祥和養生鍋﹙1,000元﹚必須在前一天預訂，適合八至十人一同分享。
為今年夏天特別推出的商業午餐菜色，和風羊粞菜涼麵﹙180元/附生菜、湯、兩種配菜﹚口感清爽。松柏長青﹙180元﹚是涼拌菜，酸度可依個人喜好調整，香蘋紫蘇卷﹙260元﹚是在紫蘇葉上塗花生醬，再將新鮮蘋果包起來，很特殊的新鮮蔬果組合。涼拌川木耳﹙200元﹚微辣，木耳是素食中的雞肉，營養成份高。粉蒸地瓜素肉﹙300元﹚將地瓜切成塊狀，符合養生流行吃地瓜；熱愛麻辣口味的千萬別錯過麻辣拌麵﹙160元﹚，吃完必定讓你胃口大開。
