Taiwanese & Vietnamese

Taiwanese cuisine is a vibrant blend of indigenous flavors and influences from Chinese regional cuisines, particularly Fujianese and Hakka, as well as Japanese colonial impact. It is characterized by its diverse street food culture and emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Vietnamese cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental taste elements: spicy, sour, bitter, salty, and sweet. It emphasizes fresh herbs, minimal use of oil, and a reliance on rice and noodles as staples. The cuisine reflects a harmony of flavors with light, fragrant, and vibrant dishes.
