Taiwanese cuisine naturally draws a lot of influence from traditional Chinese food – particularly the middle and southern provinces of the mainland, it not only blends a variety of Chinese styles brought by settlers, particularly from Fujian and Guangdong, its own Hakka and aboriginal minorities' cooking styles, but also from the Japanese influences introduced to the island during the 50 years of Japanese rule. The result is a collection of unique flavours, unusual concoctions and creative inventions.

JW Marriott Hotel Hangzhou & Courtyard by Marriott Hangzhou Wulin (Complex Hotel) will launch a two-week Taiwan Food Festival from June 14th to June 23rd. The hotel invites Taiwanese chef SUNG CHIUNG HUNG to bring the authentic Taiwan flavour and its unique food charm to Hangzhou.

Guest Chef SUNG CHIUNG HUNG is a well-known chef in Taipei and has won numerous awards in food and beverage industry. He has worked in luxury brand hotels with over 40 years of cooking experience. Chef SUNG is also a guest of all kinds of variety shows, he conveys the wonderful taste of Taiwanese cuisine to tourists through various channels.

Here are some chef’s recommendations:

Lou Rou Fan –Braised Minced 

Pork on Rice

卤肉饭

Lu Rou Fan is a very popular dish in Taipei and, like many such dishes, it’s both remarkably simple and extremely tasty. It consists of finely-chopped pork belly that’s been slow-cooked in soy sauce and Chinese 5 spice. This is spooned on top of rice, which soaks up all the fat and the flavourful sauce. It makes a really mouth-watering comfort food, with a slightly sweet and salty flavour. As simple as this may seem, the debate about whether it originated from Shandong Province in mainland China or from Taipei is one which even the city authorities are involved in.

Orh Ah Jian - Oyster Omelette

蚝仔煎

A very gooey, chewy snack which is commonly found in Taipei’s night markets, the oyster omelette is particularly popular among tourists visiting the city. The primary ingredient is the small oysters found around Taiwan’s coastline. They are folded into an omelette made with a dose of sweet potato starch added, making it thicker and chewier than normal. It is usually served with a savoury sauce, sometimes with an added kick of chili to spice up the snack.

Niu Rou Mian – Beef Noodle Soup

牛肉面

Niu Rou Mian is so popular in Taipei that it has a festival in its honour every year. As a result, the range of places selling this tasty dish is very broad, with each claiming to be the best.

The meal itself is very simple – thick-cut wheat or flour noodles with tender cuts of beef in a tick beef broth. In the original version, there are no herbs or spices added – just a few bits of cabbage for a extra taste and texture – which makes it practically unique among Chinese food. Many of the street stalls selling this hearty dish add a dollop of chilli butter to spice things up.

San Bei Ji - Three-Cup Chicken

三杯鸡

Three Cup Chicken––regardless of whether or not you’ve heard of it, you’ll definitely like it. It’s hard not to––it’s just that tasty. Three Cup Chicken, or “San Bei Ji” is a popular standard dish in Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine. The name refers to the recipe used to make it: A cup each of the three ingredients that create the sauce: rice wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Gua Bao - Braised Pork Kebab

刈包 (包红烧肉 )

Gua Bao is sometimes described as Taiwan’s answer to the American hamburger. This popular market snack looks very similar, but the sesame seed-covered bap is swapped for a steamed bun and the beef patty is replaced with braised pork belly, pickled Chinese cabbage and powdered peanuts. The flavour is a lot more diverse, as a result, including salty, sour and sweet notes. You still get the satisfying sensation of grease running down your chin, though. Just like a hamburger, Gua Bao is a real diet-breaker!

Orh Ah Mian Xian - Oyster vermicelli

蚝仔面线

Taiwanese Orh Ah Mian Xian is a popular Street food in Taiwan – it is a bowl of wheat vermicelli cooked rich bonito-flavored thickened soup. Top with juicy, plump oysters, pork intestine and homemade chili sauce.

Feng Li Su - Pineapple Cake

凤梨酥

These sweet, fruity delights are made from the fresh pineapples of the Bagua Mountains in Taiwan. They’re turned into a rich jam filling, which is presented in a slightly buttery pastry to create these moreish little cuboid cakes.

Mang Guo Bao Bing - Mango Shaved Ice

芒果刨冰

A perfect treat for those hot and sticky summer days in Taipei, Chinese shaved ice is an adaptation of the Philippines’ halo-halo. Baobing, as it is known locally, uses fruit (mango is a favourite, but strawberry and melon are common, too) mixed with ice and condensed milk to create a popular thirst-quenching dessert. Baobing is sometimes also called a shaved ice mountain due to the huge servings which, with milk, fruit juices and melting ice streaming down the sides, makes it look like an erupting volcano.

Zhen Zhu Nai Cha – Bubble Tea

台湾珍珠鲜奶茶

Bubble Tea is a Taiwanese invention, but now it is popular in many areas of East Asia, and it has been introduced in Europe and America. It was invented in the city of Taichung or in Tainan (there is controversy about who invented it first) in Taiwan in the 1980s. It is basically tea with milk and/or fruit plus chewy white or black tapioca balls.

Most bubble teas around the world still contain tapioca balls. In Hong Kong, a variety made with coffee instead of tea is popular. On the streets and in the night markets in Taiwan, the tea is usually served in plastic cups with a plastic cover. Punch straws through the plastic to drink the mixture.

In addition to these recommended Taiwanese cuisine, the hotel's own buffet also offers seafood, crayfish, barbecue, noodle, salad, Chinese and Western hot/cold dishes, a variety of desserts and drinks. Go have a feast!
