Pingtung / Mathariri Mountain Wild Greens - Bridging Regional Ethnic Groups, Defining the Island's Flavor and Landscape
Auto-Translation"Mathariri" means "various beauties" in the Rukai language. Chef Peng Tian-en of AKAME brings the island's mountains and seas to the table, partnering with Teppanyaki chef Xu Zhonghe to launch a new brand that redefines indigenous cuisine in the Linari Tribe of Majia, Pingtung.
The mountain silhouettes shift from a ground-level view to an upward gaze, with the refreshing fragrance of grass gradually permeating the skin. The crisp chirping of birds replaces the sound of passing cars; the nearby tribe seems to exist in a different time zone, radiating tranquility and serenity. After parking the car, we stroll at a leisurely pace to find the alley that leads to "various beauties." At the base of the gravel pathway, a simple gray wall with a Mathariri wooden sign hangs, with the sky serving as a canvas and the elegant mountain ridges as the scenery. The scenic alley in Beiye Village, Majia, holds a beautiful landscape for both taste and sight.
