From Ita Thao Pier, the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway is around 650 meters away. There's a sign, that is how I knew how far is it. I followed the street signs from Ita Thao Pier and no more than five minutes, I came upon this quaint lodging, very rustic and charming. This is that something I was looking forward to discovering in Sun Moon Lake. It's a treat waiting for me to find. It's a log cabin, and there were tables outside its garden. I took a step closer, and I saw a fantasy land. I almost squealed in delight! I love gardens and everything cute, and all of these are in this place called, Full House Resort.
I immediately forgot about the Ropeway, and I snapped pictures left and right. There were silver trees made out of iron, I suppose, with fresh lemons and lime as decorations; the tables were adorned with fresh fruits such as apples, oranges and some veggies, too, like pumpkins. Too good to be true! There were a lot of animal figurines, like cats, rabbits, frogs, etc., around. Wah! Full House looks magical!
I entered the Full House, and the inside was awesome as well. There were a lot of art pieces and the decorations were so pretty! I asked the man who seemed to be the owner or the manager if they serve lunch. The man stared at me for a long time. I motioned my hand as if to bring food to my mouth and he understood me. He could speak a little English, too. He bought me a menu and asked me if I'll be dining alone. I said yes and he told me that I can only order this so and so because their food are mainly for sharing. I chose the pork dish, and the man told me that it includes hot tea, too. He asked me where I'd want to be seated, and I chose the garden, of course!
I got a huge table under the canopy. I would have wanted the small table but the sun was shining so crazy that I had to go to the shade. While waiting for my meal, I took pictures everywhere. I have a feeling that this is a lodging, too, so I was so tempted to book a room and stay for the night.
My tea arrived and it's a pot! Whoa! The manager says it's their best tea and it was so delish!
Some time later, my food was brought to me. The plate was huge! The pork dish had a generous helping, and so was the rice. There was half an orange, half a salted egg, loads of veggies, pork floss and plum on the side, plus a tofu and tomato soup! So yummy; so filling! And I paid only around NTD 320.00 or so!
Around 12 noon, diners started to come. When I came in, I was the sole diner. I went inside the Full House to use the toilet and saw a middle aged lady getting out of her gown. She told me they're celebrating the second wedding of her parents on their 60th anniversary. So impressive! And so sweet. I congratulated them on their joyous occasion. I saw the groom in a bow tie. Aww... I have a soft spot for grandmas and grandpops.
I stayed for about an hour and a half at the Full House. I never wanted to leave, but I must. If only I had known about this place earlier, I would have made plans to stay there overnight. I mean, who would not want to do so? The Full House is like a secret garden where magic thrives. It's really so, so dreamy...I swear I'll be back!
