Chef Nick Sor’s favorite street food is filled with memories and surprisingly down to earth. As the founder of FirePlay Taipei, he is best known for his mastery of wood-fired cooking and a unique culinary perspective that blends techniques, flavors, and ingredients from different traditions. Yet the dishes he returns to most are often the simplest. From a classic Taiwanese breakfast of congee and side dishes inside Binjiang Market, to a comforting bowl of medicinal pork rib soup at Haiyou, these are the flavors that have become part of his life in Taiwan. At Celebrate Baking, where Nick sources FirePlay’s signature ciabatta, they sample baked treats including pork floss bread, peanut powder with cream bread, mentaiko bread, and egg tarts. And when things don’t go as planned, a plate of lamb fried rice and clam soup at 109 Lane Hot Stir-fry proves that great street food never disappoints. Join Nick as he shares the everyday flavors, memories, and stories behind the food he loves!
