Wang's Tea Lounge

Hualien


Open till late, Wang's serves delicious yet inexpensive meals in an enticing environment full of water features and glimpsed timbers. Design is a contemporary take on an old Japanese pavilion, staff speak English and the menu ranges from hotpots to ooling tea tofu to peanut butter toast. The red snapper rice bowl with sesame dressing is especially excellent.

The menu (available in English with many pictures) has a very extensive list of teas, most for under NT$80. All in all it's a handy, low-pressure place to unwind if you're staying in the train station area.
