As Taiwan’s capital continue to grow its reputation for a variety of fine foods, Corner House’s Jason Tan lets us in on some of his favourite haunts.
They say that Taipei, with its clusters of night bazaars and endless street food options, is one of the world's most food-obsessed cities. And it’s only a matter of time, before the capital of Taiwan becomes a regular fixture in plans of the jet-setting food cognoscenti.
One such jetsetter is Jason Tan, chef-owner of Corner House, and whose food-filled life as a chef includes projects and cooking opportunities across the globe. This year alone he spent two weeks cooking in Taipei, which included a four-day stint cooking at Landis Hotel and participating in Fimm Media's International Chefs Summit Asia 2017. Last year, Tan also spent a week cooking at a private event in Taipei. But Tan also enjoys the opportunity to dig into some of the city’s top food haunts, spending most of his pre- and post-kitchen hours dining around the city. Here, he spills the beans on a few of his favourites restaurants.
