At the foot of the hill is the "Xiao-kai-yue" restaurant that we mentioned in the Xiang-shan hiking trail article.
我們象山步道的文章中，提到山腳有一家「小凱悅」餐廳。

Xiao-kai-yue is located on Zhuang-jing Road, right across from Xinyi Junior High School.
小凱悅位在信義國中正門對面的莊敬路上。

At only a few hundred meters away from MRT Xiang-shan Station and Xiang-shan hiking trail, it isn't too far away from Taipei 1O1 and World Trade Center.
距離捷運象山站和象山步道口只有幾百公尺，和台北一零一和世貿館也不遠.

Originally named "Nan-cun Local Dish Shop," Xiao-kai-yue is famous for its Military Dependent's Village Cuisine in Taiwan.
小凱悅原名叫「南村小吃店」，以台灣所謂的「眷村料理」聞名。

It was nicknamed "Little Hyatt" by the patrons due to being very close to the five-star Hyatt Hotel. The owner also shows off their creative idea on the shop sign:)
因為很靠近五星級凱悅飯店，被客人暱稱[小凱悅]，老闆也將客人的創意展現在招牌上:)

The military dependent's villages refer to the multi-family communities established for the military personnel in various places of Taiwan after the Nationalist government came to Taiwan in 1949.
眷村指的是1949年國民政府來台後，在全台各地為軍人眷屬興建的集合社區。

Xiao-kai-yue was originally around the corner of a military dependent's village "Four Four South Village" and therefore named "Nan-cun." (Nan-cun in Chinese means "south village.")
小凱悅原本在眷村「四四南村」旁邊，所以取名叫「南村」。([Nan-cun]中文就是南村。)

The government spent a large sum of money reconstructing over 10 years ago, taking down the old buildings and constructing tall buildings to renew the place.
十多年前，政府花了一大筆錢改建，拆掉原來建築，換地方興建大樓。

Xiao-kai-yue did not relocate. It remains doing business in the same place and continues to preserve the original taste.
小凱悅沒有搬走，留在原地營業，繼續保留原有的口味。

Notwithstanding the many local and exotic cuisines in Taiwan, the Military Dependent's Village Cuisine is distinctive.
台灣有很多本土的或者異國料理，「眷村料理」也獨樹一格。

Military dependent's village dishes are actually very common home dishes, utilizing the simplest food ingredients to create the richest and the most diversified taste.
眷村料理其實是家常料理，很平民化，用最簡單的食材，創造出最豐富和多樣的口味。

There were many street stands selling noodles in the early days. Those were military dependent's village dishes. There are similar restaurants in all major cities nowadays.
早期很多路邊攤販售的麵食，就是眷村料理，現在各大城市都有類似的餐廳。

四川泡菜和台式泡菜不一樣，加辣椒和花椒，口味偏酸，吃起來又香又脆，敢吃酸的人可以嚐嚐看。
