Formosa Tea House
The highlight of Saturday was the Formosa Tea House.
We started off the day with breakfast at our B&B then headed out to face the ‘holiday crowds’. Actually not as bad as I had feared. I picked up a bit kit for my new Leatherman. Now I have a screwdriver for every occasion! Yea!
Then it was time for lunch and we had decided to try the Formosa Tea House
Leslie had read the review from the above link and it sounded well worth a trip.
Parking was bit scarce, but it turned out that we had a great spot directly across from the restaurant.
It is not a place to order the “combo platter”. The menu consists of about 14 or 15 things. They suggest that each person order about 3. Then if you share them you get to try about 6. I wanted to order 8 things. Leslie is sure she ordered 7. We got 6. Good thing too!
Dumplings, Spring Rolls, Sushi and a stuffed bun. The Stuffed Bun is like an Oriental Kapusta Bun. Yum!
This is Bamboo Rice. It is stuffed with a rice / bean combo. Really good.
And it is a TEA house, after all so ….
Another wrapped dish. Sticky rice. I loved it!
Below you can see shots of the inside of the Bamboo rice and the Sticky Rice dish.
Lots of very subtle flavors. Wonderful stuff. We will come here again!
