Hualien's Banyan garden

The Banyan garden restaurant is an outdoor eatery, very popular here in Hualien.




Excellent sashimi, and seafood.




The restaurant is built around a huge old banyan tree which lights up at nite. The air cond is a steady cool mist with pipes on the glass ceiling, and combined with fans and a wooden deck, it is quite comfortable although the outside temperature is 32C. I sure love the ambience of outdoor dining, and my favorite is charcoal grilled fresh oysters with Heineken on draught.......get this: a dozen of fresh oysters for $7US, and a pint of Heineken draught is $1.30US.


Dinner for the seven of us with beer, $70US. And what a feast it was. A similar meal like this would cost $200US at home, not including HST and gratuities........
