Tribal Kitchen of Senyong Hamlet

The residents of this hamlet were originally residents of old Dagu (Tjarilik) and neighboring Gutanas and Enivaian hamlets. They moved here in 1953 due to the inconvenience of living in a steep mountainous area. The tribesmen of old Dagu hamlet chose to live on the land where Morinaga Hoshinaen Co. Ltd. specialized in planting quinine, coffee, and tea during the Japanese occupation. Later, this hamlet was named Senyong (Morinaga) after the farm. Tjarilik, the name of the old tribe of the Paiwan people, means steep mountains, while Gutanas means the tribe on the cliff, and Enivaianmeans a place with big and sacred trees.
