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.2 A1 a8 w% e7 W# X- t1 j

I only tasted the salad so far.  Easy House is one of the best vege restaurant here.  v, ~3 W9 }0 K, `1 l8 R
I am not really into other bi product.  The soap looks interesting though.  5.39.217.77:8898  [4 P. O9 Y& c- d' `4 @" ?
Maybe you should juice up some from your garden.  If you puke dont blame me....lololol..3 d" \& o8 T9 b+ `9 I
A little syrup or honey will tone down the grassyness.
