CULINARIA TAIWAN

The culinary delights of Taiwan.
[知味台湾]

TAIWAN (REPUBLIC OF CHINA)
Capital: Taipei
Culinary roots: Southern Chinese

The food is generally simple and rustic, relying more on freshness to deliver tastes and flavours, a trait that could be traced back to Taiwan's agricultural and fishing roots. Diversity is displayed through the staggering amount of snacks and takeaways that are on offer in the night markets, which could only be attributed to the culinary entrepreneurship of the locals to re-invent the wheel. Taiwanese cuisine is a food deep with sincerity, mirroring the warmth of the 'Treasure Isle' and its down-to-earth people.
