Taiwan Food & Beverage

Cuisine in Taiwan

Taiwanese cuisine originated mainly from the Fujian province of southern China.

Taiwan's diverse cuisine has been contributed by the immigrants who settled down from Beijing, Guangdong, Sichuan and Shanghai, in the late 20th century.

Food culture in Taiwan is also influenced significantly by Japanese with her proximity to Japan and historical factors.

Japan left behind their culinary traditions after 50 years of occupation in Taiwan during World War II.  Both countries now share a common love of Japanese dishes like sashimi and sushi, which can be found as commonly in Taipei as in Tokyo.

You can also enjoy a remix of local modern Taiwanese snacks and traditional dishes coupled with a wide range of European, American, Asian and African imported cuisine.

Most of Taiwan cuisine relies on an array of seasoning like soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil, as condiment for flavor. Some of the aboriginal people will ferment millet wine to enhance the flavor of their dishes, which has become a renowned indigenous cultural specialty in Taiwan.

Taiwan is famous for its night market, where you can find a variety of different local delights from the street vendors, ranging from finger food, fried smelly tofu, to skewered insects and refreshing fruit ice.

You can enjoy the atmosphere of the local crowd and vendors mingling together as you walk and eat your way through the local night streets.

Taiwan is a treasure trove, a gourmet heaven that would definitely satisfy your guests' palate throughout their stay in Taiwan.
