Taiwan is probably most famous for their cheap and delicious street food. The Night Market, allows guests to get a taste of the best of Shilin’s push-carts and stalls without getting on a plane. With a rustic dining environment, affordable prices, and a welcoming environment, it’s hard not to fall in love with this restaurant.

Roasted Eggplant and Bamboo Pork Pastry is great as a light bite to whet the appetite. Made with tender pork cooked with smoky roasted eggplant, the buttery, crunchy pastry contrasts well with the melt-in-your-mouth filling. The Signature Beef Noodle Soup is one of their most popular items, and is the go-to choice for meat lovers. Made with a generous portion of peppery beef ribs, pickled cabbage, and chewy noodles, this dish is best enjoyed hot.

Hong Kong may have perfected dim sum, but the unique options on offer here make a strong case for the Taiwanese version. The Soup Dumplings burst with rich flavour from the first bite, and are an excellent choice on a wintry day. The Pan-Fried Beef Soup Pastry is another favourite. It is made with the same crisp pastry as the pork pastry with a juicy beef filling instead. (May 2019)
