　Less than a 5-minute drive from Cianjhen Fishing Port is "CalmClam"（淡定の蚌）, a Taiwanese-Italian fusion restaurant known for its tranquility and exquisite tastes of the ocean. With only ten seats in its mini space, it provides a delightful hidden gem in the bustling city. Although it has only been open for just over a year, it has already built up a stellar reputation and a loyal following. The owner Siaocyu（小區）, who has a background in design, cleverly created the restaurant’s name by combining two similar sounding words “calm" and "clam." When customers notice the clever wordplay in its name, it brings a knowing smile to their faces.
　The featured "clam" in CalmClam is the essence of its cuisine. The Taiwanese-Italian fusion restaurant always selects the freshest clams and daily seafood from the fishing port. It combines them with various ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes like iron pot spice-braised clams, stewed clams in tomato sauce, clam gnocchi, and barramundi stewed with clams in capers and dill. Siaocyu（小區）even incorporates Taiwanese elements such as dried radish and salt-cured mullet roe to offer a creative, authentic, fresh, and flavorful dining experience.
