The plant in the first picture is call Tree Palm here, I have to look up the botanical name for it.  Its a very slow growing plant, native to this area.  They are featured a lot in the movie "Jurassic Park".

Thanks, yes the Taiwan people are really resourceful and they are very astute business entrepreneur.  I wonder how these products taste.  The salad looks really appetizing, and I like the look of the soap too.  Have you try any of them?  They all look pretty upmarket to me.tvboxnow.com0 K8 T' N; q$ ]- W( _

I only tasted the salad so far.  Easy House is one of the best vege restaurant here.公仔箱論壇) t. J' y: w; N! r/ G3 m9 z0 E
