I visited Taipei last fall. I ate fabulous soup. The name of this soup means "Even a Buddhist priest cannot help but jump over the fence for it" in Chinese characters. It's pronounced something like "Fo-Thio-Chan." It looked deliverately cooked consomme with tenderly simmered chicken with bone, abalone, shark fin, shiitake mashroom, bamboo shoot, chicken kidney and others. The broth had multi-layered flavour of those ingredients. I have digi photo of it but I do not know how to post it since I am new here. This menu needs several-hour-long steaming. Reservation is required. It was around US贄 for two. The restrant looked shabby and no decor you can expect. But worth a try.
