BeiPing JuYuan Restaurant is located in the back alley of Sherwood Hotel. For more than 20 years it has provided top notch and inexpensive Northern Chinese cuisine. The décor may be simple but the food is so good that brings customers back again and again. Mr. & Mrs. Zhong are a perfect duo – the husband is the chef while the wife takes charge of the service aspect. They are such hard working people that they are off 5 days a year – during lunar Chinese New Year. In fact they have to prepare more than 100 “Chinese New Year Roast Duck Set Menu”﹙NT$3,000/for 10 people﹚for takeout before taking their annual leaves. Mrs. Zhong says proudly, “Our roast duck is still tasty even when it cools down. The aroma of the meat is just as good as when it’s fresh out of oven. You can steam the takeout roast duck and it’s delicious!”

JuYuan is well known for Chinese Northern noodle and steamed breads. “Handmade flakey pancake”﹙NT$50﹚, “Pancake with scallions” and “Beef & Scallion Pancake Roll”﹙NT$88﹚are voted as customers’ all-time favorite! You should take an advantage of the ongoing lunch promotion-all noodle dishes and steamed breads are 20% off. “Beef Noodle”﹙NT$98﹚is now only NT$78 after discount. “HeCaiDaiMao”﹙NT$158﹚can be served as it is or wrap into a roll with pancake. “General ZuoZongTang Chicken”﹙NT$168﹚is spicy and goes well with handmade flakey pancake.

“Roast Duck”﹙NT$800﹚can serve 4 to 5 people. Every additional way of cooking it will be NT$100 extra. If you order the roast duck served in three ways the special price is NT$980. In addition to wrapping the roast duck skin and meat with ILan scallion or cucumber in a piece of pancake, the second suggested way is to stir-fry duck meat with cabbage or Chinese broccoli. The third way is to make a soup with choices of ginger, white cabbage, Taiwanese picked vegetables, sour cabbage or preserved mustard greens. If you’re not very good at ordering for group dinner, you can always consider the roast duck set menu﹙10-12 courses﹚, ranging from NT$2,000 to NT$4,000. It can serve 8 to 10 people and the average will be NT$400 each person. It’s more than what you bargain for!

藏身於西華飯店後方的巷子裡,北平聚園餐廳二十多年以來秉持樸實,提供物美價廉的北方美食。鍾氏夫婦,先生負責廚房,賢內助管理外場,一年365天,除了農曆年休假五天之外,每天必在聚園。每年除夕前,光是年菜烤鴨套餐﹙3,000元/十人份﹚就賣出一百多套,鍾太太驕傲的說:「我們的烤鴨即使放涼了,鴨肉一樣香味四溢!外帶的烤鴨只要蒸過,美味不打折!」

聚園的北方麵食—烙餅﹙50元﹚、蔥油餅和牛肉大餅﹙88元﹚特別好吃!平日午餐時段所有麵食一律打八折,原本98元的牛肉麵,只要78元即可享用,物超所值!合菜代帽﹙158元﹚有人喜歡單吃,也有人愛包荷葉餅﹙10元/片﹚。左宗棠雞﹙168元﹚配著烙餅吃,辣的過癮。

烤鴨一隻﹙800元﹚是四到五人份,多一吃加一百元,三吃只要980元。第一吃荷葉餅夾帶鴨皮帶肉包小黃瓜或是宜蘭三星蔥,第二吃炒高麗菜或是芥藍菜,第三吃做湯的選擇更多,有薑絲、大白菜、台灣酸菜、酸白菜或是梅干菜。不擅長點菜的可以考慮烤鴨套餐,價位自2,000元到4,000元不等,有10至12道菜,適合八到十人,每人平均消費四百元真是太划算了!
