HengChang Business Hotel

logy, a sibling of the Florilège in Tokyo, moved to this location in 2025, whose handsome room is generously furnished in walnut wood. The over 10 courses omakase menu presents thrilling moments of creativity and pleasant surprises for an unforgettable experience. The kitchen seamlessly melds Japanese and Taiwanese elements, as illustrated by the ochazuke made with Taiwanese tea and Hokkaido rice that pairs expertly cooked Wagyu from Kyushu.

A portmanteau of Taiwan and terroir, Taïrroir is Chef Kai's love letter to his home island. Informed by his two decades of experience in Taiwanese and French cuisines, the menu captures local food culture in ingenious forms, underscored by Western techniques. Dishes that are wittily named to rhyme with idioms feature highly seasonal items from local producers; desserts made with local teas and fruit shine with unmistakably Taiwanese flavours.

From the chirping of birds and crickets to the custom-made tableware by local artisans, everything in this strikingly designed room paints a vibrant portrait of Taiwan. In the same vein, a historic map of Taiwan adorns the origami-folded menu. The young chefs turn the locals’ favourite beer snacks, banquet dishes and rustic treats into memorable gems that are visually creative and delicious, such as quail with mushrooms or pork belly with fermented cabbage.

Chef Frassi has styled his restaurant to remind diners of his Tuscan roots. It is only open in the evenings, serving one tasting menu that rolls out some seven courses of creative, contemporary Italian fare. Dishes like lobster risotto or rabbit tagliatelle are artfully plated, delivering excellent flavours and textures. The kitchen ages its own meat and its aged duck stands out in particular. Wine pairing in half or full glasses at sensible prices.

The encyclopaedic proportions of the menu may be a bit daunting, but the familiar and much-loved dishes of the group’s flagship outlets feature prominently. This branch serves the brand’s greatest hits from the past 40 years, such as the 70s classic, fish-shaped minced shrimp toast, alongside new creations like almond tofu dessert with peanut mochi and pu’er tea. Also check out the hidden items, previously only available to those in the know.

A sister concept spun off from the household brand, it caters to small groups and families with a menu designed for sharing, and champions low-fat and low-sodium Taiwanese cooking. Signatures such as stir-fried thousand-year eggs with green chillies, and omelette with angled luffa and dried scallops are original recipes not found elsewhere. The airy and elegant space is bathed in daylight and adorned with wood and neutral greys.

In a palette of muted greens and greys, the lofty space is a masterclass in understated elegance. La Vie is managed by German chef Bühner and a Hong Kong chef presides in the kitchen. The prix-fixe reimagines European classics using locally sourced ingredients – dishes are elaborate and visually striking. Game, such as New Zealand venison, is prepared with aplomb and finesse. Desserts such as the chocolate tart end the meal on a high note.
