Oretachi No Nikuya

Barbecue · ★ Michelin

$$$

This paradise for beef lovers is just the ticket for discerning connoisseurs. The young owner-chef knows his cattle inside out and sources prize-winning breeds from all over Japan, including Akage Wagyu from Kumamoto and some rare ones not found elsewhere. Both the set and à la carte menus showcase premium cuts that are perfectly grilled to your order by the highly-skilled team. They also explain every cut in detail, together with where they source their produce.

Sur-

Taiwanese contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$

Sur- moved to Central district in 2023 and now occupies the third floor of a quaint building. The minimalist room dotted with wooden furniture and vintage couches sports dark colours. The owner-chef elevates everyday Taiwanese ingredients to haute cuisine using traditional techniques like tempering, charbroiling and smoking in the tasting menu that changes every season. The wine and zero-proof pairings are highly recommended.

Shin Yuan (West)

Taiwanese · Bib

In 2018, Shan Shin opened this spinoff serving healthy Taiwanese cooking in a cosy, sun-drenched space in a detached villa. Quality local ingredients such as Guanshan rice from Taitung and family pork from Changhua are crafted into novel Taiwanese dishes available in individual portions. The crossover between coffee and local food culture is interesting – try the coffee vinaigrette in the set menu and sip a fresh brew at the end of your meal.

Küisine (West)

Asian · Bib

This unpretentious joint, tucked away in a residential alley, feels homely and relaxing. Each guest is expected to order at least one set menu with a main, rice, and either soup or drinks. The Taichungese rice works well with Taiwanese, Southeast Asian and Japanese dishes. Popular mains include Kung Pao chicken with cashew nuts or golden curry omelette. Everything is sourced and certified from small local farms.

Fu Din Wang (Central)

Taiwanese · Bib

Diners flock to this semi-self-service shop for pork trotter, hock and leg – braised in a soy-based marinade for up to four hours, the meat is gelatinous, tender and flavourful. It tastes even better with the house-made chilli sauce, cleaner and less complex than with the typical marinade and its strong herbal undertones. The braised diced pork rice and braised fried tofu are also good options. The simple decor makes for a relaxed vibe.

Kung Fu Shanghai Fish Ball

Small eats · Bib

The push cart out front turns back the clock and the retro vibe is pursued indoors. For over 10 years, the owner-chef has been making fish balls, wontons and sauces from scratch. He orders his noodles from his favourite shop in Shuinan Market because of their bouncy texture. Purists should try noodles tossed in scallion oil for its simple, but addictive aromas. Marlin fish ball soup with salted potherb mustard is another best-seller.

Ajisai

Noodles · Bib

Stained glass windows and wooden shelving contrast beautifully against the cement walls of this noodle shop. The owner used to run a private kitchen specialising in Jiangzhe cooking. The menu thus revolves around noodles from Jiangzhe area, along with some Sichuanese options. The side dishes she makes every morning are also a reason to visit – try the bitter melon simmered with rock sugar if available. Open 3 days a week. Check social media before visiting.

Fu Juang Yuan

Taiwanese · Bib

One of the most famous spots in town for braised pork trotters, this shop keeps the liquid gold – made with soy, rock sugar, chillis and shallots – on a gentle simmer all day, hence the comforting aroma. While trotters are prized for their gelatinous texture, upper leg cuts strike a fine balance between fat, skin and meat. Drizzle the steamed rice with a spoon of marinade. A dab of the house-made bird’s eye chilli sauce cuts through the richness.
