三希堂 Sanxitang Teahouse at National Palace Museum 國立故宮博物院
After marveling at three huge floors of exhibits, looking for a place to rest our feet and fill our stomach. We decided on the Chinese Restaurant named 三希堂 Sanxitang Teahouse 三希堂 Sanxitang Teahouse It was majestic too, took a few pictures of the interior design and deco.

Food recommendation
灌湯包
We ordered quite a few dishes but these two stands out to be the most delicious:
First is a dumpling in soup called 灌湯包, there's meat, mushroom and other ingredients wrapped inside a dumpling skin and then infused with and in a soup base, YUMMY!
芝麻糕
The next is a desert, it sure doesn't look like it's even edible when it arrives but when you place it inside your mouth, the wonderful flavors of sesame seeds and sweetness explodes in your mouth! It's a cake or biscuit that's made out of Sesame seeds, it's called: 芝麻糕 (sesame cake)
