Visted 小油坑 just before lunch. It was very misty at 小油坑. Temperature was 13C. Not able to take any photo. Lunch was at 竹子湖青菜園 after 小油坑. 竹子湖 is famous for the wild vegetables and calla lilies 海芋. Baby 海芋 are starting to grow. Ate wild vegetables when on business trip many years ago so brought my family to try this trip!
Ordered wild vegetables - cabbage and potato leaves. Nice!
Tofu - ok.
Beef - ok
Took the sweet potato soup and beehoon. Beehoon so so only. Sweet potato is sweet but its soup is ordinary - taste more like ginger water -also no pandan flavour.
Just pay NT30 and the soup only is free flow since the prices of raw material had gone. You help yourself to the pot.

Did not order the steam chicken. Wanted to order a small 麻油雞 but it came in very big pot and tasted very oily. At the end, more than half pot still remained.
This lunch costed also about NT1200 for 5 people. Quite unexpectedly X. These 2 vegetables costed only NT50 each. Not sure how the bill became so high! Very strangely, during this trip, I was never shown the breakdown of the bill. I was also quite muddle headed to forget to ask for it. On average, all the meals costed around NT1200.
Inside 青菜園 - it became full house later. you need to go to the front (where the lady dressed in red is) to order the food.

After lunch, wanted to visit Beitou Helly Valley but it was closed for maintenance/renovation. Only took a glance at the steam/smoke from the taxi at its entrance. Went to visit Beitou sulphur valley instead.
