Wandering Walls

Whenever guests ask us for "local food" recommendations, or when travelers are looking for a delicious and photogenic place to dine, "Höo Triptown" always makes it onto our shortlist. Unlike traditional street food or seafood stir-fry spots, this place offers refined Taiwanese cuisine full of creativity and "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The interesting name "Höo Triptown" comes from the phonetic sound of the Taiwanese phrase "hó-tshuì-táu," which means not being a picky eater and finding everything delicious!

Not only is this a restaurant we recommend to our guests, but it is also the private choice of our butlers who live in Hengchun long-term when they want a good meal or a get-together with friends. Here, the concepts of traditional Taiwanese banquet cuisine and a bistro are perfectly combined, featuring a stylish environment and an excellent standard of flavor.

 

Location

Höo Triptown is located in an alley near the outer ring road (Henggong Road) of Hengchun Township. It's about a 15 to 20-minute drive from The Wandering Walls, and about 20 minutes from Kenting Main Street. It offers a quiet retreat amidst the bustling area.

The Wandering Walls' Private Recommendations

The dishes here combine traditional banquet cuisine with innovative techniques. Here are a few must-order "soul food" dishes:

• Drunken Dongpo Pork: A signature dish ordered by almost every table! The braised, dark-gold and glossy Dongpo pork emits a charming, subtle Shaoxing wine aroma. The ratio of fat to lean meat is perfect, melting in your mouth without being greasy. The sauce is savory with a touch of sweetness, rich in layers without being overly salty—an absolute "rice killer."

• Sichuan Mouthwatering Chicken: For those who love bold, spicy, and numbing flavors, do not miss this. Tender, chilled chicken is drizzled with a special sauce that is sour, spicy, numbing, and fragrant all at once. It's incredibly appetizing and an excellent cold appetizer.

• Waterfall Golden Sand Tofu: Soft and bouncy tofu is lightly fried on the outside and then completely coated with a rich, savory salted egg yolk sauce. It's incredibly fragrant, goes perfectly with rice, and although it looks simple, it has the magic to make you take bite after bite.

• Peach Shrimp Balls (or Pineapple Shrimp Balls): A reinterpretation of the classic pineapple shrimp balls. They use generous, shelled, and deveined "whole jumbo shrimp," deep-fried to a golden crisp on the outside while remaining tender and plump inside. Paired with a special fruity mayonnaise, the sweetness is just right, making it a hit with both adults and children.

• Peeled Chili Chicken and Clam Soup: An incredibly fresh and sweet soup! Simmered with peeled chili peppers and chicken, it tastes mildly spicy with a sweet aftertaste. Enhanced by the freshness of clams and the aroma of mushrooms, and featuring springy chicken meat, it’s the most perfect and comforting finale to a hearty meal.
