Chef Vanessa Huang has led Ephernité for over 11 years, earning recognition from the Michelin Guide and a place among Tatler Best Awards’ Top 100 Restaurants in Asia. Blending French culinary expertise with a deep appreciation for seasonal ingredients, she takes Jeremy on a journey through some of her favorite Taiwanese food. The adventure begins at bancoldnoodle, where rich yet refreshing cold noodles with sesame sauce are paired with side dishes like smoked pig ears and kimchi. For dessert, they went to ronmuseum to enjoy tofu pudding topped with taro puree, sweet potato balls, and mesona-flavored starch jelly. Next, at Inns+, a three-time Michelin Bib Gourmand selection, dishes like red vinasse pork and traditional stir-fried rice noodles highlight the depth of Taiwanese comfort food. The journey ends at the legendary Mao Yuan, another longtime Bib Gourmand recommendation, where classics like pickled winter melon steamed fish demonstrate the craftsmanship behind Taiwan’s culinary traditions.
