Yi Yang Vegetarian Restaurant was the imperial kitchen for ancient Chinese emperors; the dishes served here resemble meat dishes in every regard, but are completely vegetarian; though you may be fooled into thinking otherwise by their taste and appearance. Yi Yang's interior design includes of images of Buddha, sacred texts and calligraphy, as pictures taken during the owner's journey to Tibet.
It is what seems at first glance to be a tray of tofu. However, when you
bite into a white square you will discover it has a "secret meaning"; these tofu cubes are each filled with shredded dried bean curd. In the "House Filled with Riches", the gold in the "Riches" refers to golden corn, and the "Treasure" is bamboo shoots. The tofu contains the delicate fragrance of these two foods, and the taste of tofu can be found within the "Treasures and Riches." It is an unequalled taste sensation. The tea served here is also very special:"Bamboo Leave Tea" uses tehder bamboo leaves to create a tea with a distinct flavor. Chrysanthemun, golden lilies asn lily flowers also combine to create "There Flower Tea".
