“Taiwan is a treasure island with various interesting ingredients.” said Chef Wo. “Taiwan is known as “The Kingdom of Fruits” with a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices growing all over the island. When spring comes, there're even more ingredients that I can choose from for my modern Cantonese creations. To discover the real taste of Taiwan, I have since visited Wulai, Dahu, Chunghua and Hualien for inspirations and designed innovative dishes just for the season.”

“Spring It On, Formosa!” set menu curated by Chef Wo is a true food journey of Formosa-Taiwan. “Spicy Hualien bird's nest fern with cordyceps” and “Chilled Changhua ark tomato with osmanthus flower” are two refreshing appetizers. And “Wok fried mushroom, Penghu lobster, Hokkaido scallop, American winkle with pickled chili and asparagus”, “Deep fried pork ribs with Dahu strawberry and Zhenjiang vinegar”, “Seafood fried rice, sakura shrimp and Chinese toona” are delicious main dishes that can actually represent the agriculture and fishing industry of Taiwan. Chef's signature soup “Double boiled Hualien corn-fed chicken soup, dried scallop, Wulai mountain aboriginal spice” brings fragrance of mother nature. And to finish the course with something sweet, “Cream of mango with sago pearls, pomelo and Dahu strawberry” is the best choice to enjoy fresh local fruits in season.
