“YEN Bar, next to YEN Chinese restaurant, offers the most creative cocktails and stunning view of Xinyi district, Taipei's Manhattan.” shared Bradley Froehlich, W Taipei Executive Chef. “Neo Orient is the new theme of W T Time which embodies the concept of the venue décor and menu design. Guests can taste the Asia-inspired dim sums and delicate desserts with the breathtaking view of Taipei 101.”

Chef Bradley has incorporated the YEN Bar's main décor color “purple” and fun factors in the savory dishes. He utilizes the purple local ingredient to create the attractive yet authentic “Lips jelly with sweet purple potato filling” which sits on a mini champagne glass filling with pop candies like the surprising WOW factor. He also makes the Cantonese dim sum “Deep fried taro glutinous ball” with the purple taro stuffing. The oriental entrees include “Pineapple bun with butter, Beef cheese tart, Salad shrimp roll, Mango pudding, and Fresh fruit Daifuku (mocchi)”. W Taipei's Sweetologist Yu Mei Ho plays with the same concept on desserts as well, purple-theme “Black currant macaroon” and “Hot chili ganache chocolate cake” with a hint of spice.

YEN Bar is located on level 31, the top floor of W Taipei. Toast to the bright Xinyi lights of sprawling Taipei skyline through soaring floor-to-ceiling glazed walls. To complete the artistry experience in the bar, take in the stunning art and glass installations all around the space, the epitome of the city's most sophisticated setting. Guests can indulge in a tempting variety of delightfully modern Asian tapas and exclusive yet innovative cocktails.
