“Mushroom cutlets, a mushroom-based typhoon-shelter soft-shell crab, and vegetarian eel-style noodles give a vegetarian gathering a mix of fried, sauced, and stir-fried textures. Flavors lean bold, and sharing with others makes it easier to try several techniques at once.”

WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Adjust the sauce-to-rice ratio in mapo tofu rice

Mapo tofu rice combines tofu sauce and white rice on one plate. The grains stay distinct but are slightly firm; if you prefer a softer bite, mix in more sauce. It also adds a sauced staple alongside fried dishes.

02
A vegetarian table with real stir-fry variety

Fried mushrooms, sauced rice, and stir-fried noodles all bring different textures. Putting them in the center of the table and alternating between them works well for family or friends who enjoy rich vegetarian flavors, and a group makes it easier to try more cooking styles.

Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet MetroBites visit photo

Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet

Mushrooms are shaped into a cutlet and sliced for serving. The coating is crisp while the inside stays thick and soft, with a little sauce on the surface. Shredded cabbage underneath adds freshness, and both the appearance and texture are distinctive.

Typhoon-Shelter Vegetarian Soft-Shell Crab MetroBites visit photo

Typhoon-Shelter Vegetarian Soft-Shell Crab

This vegetarian version uses mushrooms as the main ingredient and is served with celery and peanuts. The fried component is strongly savory, while celery adds a fresh crunch. The peanuts also work as a small snack on their own.

Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles MetroBites visit photo

Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles

The idea of vegetarian eel is worked into Taiwanese yi noodles, with savory seasoning that does not overpower the noodles. Sauce clings to the strands while vegetables and the vegetarian eel-style pieces keep their own layers. It works as a solo main or a shared starch.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Tell the shop your group size and dishes

The dining room is small, so weekends and popular times are better with a reservation. Once you know the group size and dishes you want, tell the shop together so they can plan more easily.

02
Allow for serving time and restroom needs

When full, the kitchen cooks dishes one by one, so leave time to wait. There is no restroom inside the shop, so plan ahead before setting out.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Alternate fried mushrooms with cabbage and celery

Try one slice of the peppercorn mushroom first to feel the crisp coating against the soft mushroom, then eat it with the shredded cabbage underneath. Pair the typhoon-shelter soft-shell crab with celery so the fresh crunch balances the richness and saltiness of the fried dish.

✨ AI Visit Snapshot

何老大手作蔬食 is on Guangfu Road Section Two in Fengshan, Kaohsiung, about a 10-to-15-minute walk from Weiwuying Station. It turns Taiwanese stir-fry classics into vegetarian dishes. The menu ranges from fried items and sauced rice to stir-fried yi noodles. The point is not light side dishes but preserving the aroma, texture, and sharing fun of a stir-fry meal, making it suitable for diners who want bold vegetarian food and for families or friends ordering a table to share.

Interior and dining atmosphere:The dining room is small, and once plate after plate of stir-fry arrives, the table quickly feels like a gathering. Weekend meal periods can fill fast, and when many diners are in the shop, the kitchen needs to cook dishes one by one, so the pace is more relaxed than a simple set-meal restaurant. The food works best placed in the middle of the table and shared, alternating fried dishes, sauced rice, vegetables, and noodles. If you want to try several cooking styles in one visit, coming with others shows the menu better than dining alone.
Location and dining notes:The address is 高雄市鳳山區光復路二段249號, opposite Fengshan Administration Center, about a 10-to-15-minute walk from Weiwuying Station. Indoor seating is limited, so reservations are recommended at popular times. If your group size and dishes are already decided, you can tell the shop in advance to reduce the wait after sitting down. When full, dishes come out sequentially, so do not schedule the gathering too tightly. There is no restroom inside the shop, which is also worth planning for before leaving.
● Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet

The Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet is not the usual pile of individually fried mushrooms. Mushrooms are formed into a cutlet, then sliced. The coating is crisp while the inside stays thick and soft. A little sauce sits on the surface, and shredded cabbage lines the plate below. Try the mushroom first to feel the contrast between crust and interior, then add cabbage to freshen the richer fried texture. It is one of the most memorable dishes on the table in both shape and bite.

● Mapo Tofu Rice

Mapo Tofu Rice combines mapo tofu and white rice on one plate, letting you adjust how much sauce goes with each bite. The rice grains stay distinct and lean a little firm. If you prefer a softer, moister texture, mix in more sauce before eating. The tofu and sauce are steady and familiar, making this suitable as a solo staple or a shared dish that adds moisture alongside fried and dry-fried plates.

● Typhoon-Shelter Vegetarian Soft-Shell Crab

This is a vegetarian interpretation of typhoon-shelter soft-shell crab, using mushrooms as the main component and serving them with celery and peanuts. The fried pieces are strongly seasoned. Eating them with celery adds a fresh crunch that balances the oil and salt, while the peanuts do not have to be eaten with the main piece and work just as well as a small snack on the side. From crunchy garnishes to the mushroom itself, the eating experience is more playful than the dish name first suggests.

對應餐點原圖
● Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles

Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles put the less common idea of vegetarian eel into Taiwanese yi noodles. The seasoning is mainly savory but does not drown out the noodles. The portion can serve as a solo main or sit in the center for a group. Even after the noodles absorb sauce, the vegetables and vegetarian eel-style pieces remain distinct. If you want to see how the shop rewrites a traditional Taiwanese flavor, this works well as the table’s main starch.

對應餐點原圖
For a meal with real layers, do not order four dishes with the same texture. Rotate fried, sauced, and stir-fried noodles so the table keeps changing.
💡 Ordering note

For a first group meal, use Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles or Mapo Tofu Rice to cover the staple, then add Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet and Typhoon-Shelter Vegetarian Soft-Shell Crab for two different fried expressions. Both fried dishes work better when shared with fresher vegetables. If visiting on a weekend, confirm your group size and intended dishes in advance so the shop has more context before you arrive.

📌 Editor’s summary

何老大手作蔬食 turns the common Fengshan stir-fry gathering into a shared vegetarian table. The Guangfu Road Section Two location is about a 10-to-15-minute walk from Weiwuying Station, and the small room is best approached with the group size planned ahead. Peppercorn Mushroom Cutlet is crisp outside and soft within; Mapo Tofu Rice lets sauce adjust the firmness of the rice; Typhoon-Shelter Vegetarian Soft-Shell Crab uses mushrooms with celery and peanuts; and Vegetarian Eel-Style Noodles transform a traditional Taiwanese idea into an uncommon vegetarian staple. If you want more than a light vegetarian lunchbox—something you can share with family or friends, with variety in both seasoning and technique—this is worth adding to a Fengshan gathering list.
