When traveling through Taiwan, there are countless memorable people, places, and experiences — especially the food. Every trip brings new culinary discoveries, each one both surprising and deeply satisfying. This time, we visited several restaurants in Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, and Tainan that have been featured in the MICHELIN Guide Taiwan or the 500 Dishes Award list. Though each restaurant has its own distinct style, all embody an unmistakable “Taiwanese flavour,” making every meal a delight to savour.
Founded in 1940, A SHA Tainan Main Restaurant has long been beloved by the people of Tainan and remains a top destination for visitors seeking authentic Tainan cuisine. As the fourth-generation successor of the family business, Wu Chien Hao has refined his culinary expertise over the years and continues to uphold the highest standards for every classic dish served at the restaurant.
Tainan cuisine is deeply rooted in banquet culture, with every dish showcasing the chef’s dedication to premium ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship. If you are unsure what to order at A SHA, the restaurant’s Top 10 Signature Dishes offer the perfect introduction to its celebrated flavours. Among the highlights are the Charcoal-grilled Wild Mullet Roe, the reservation-only Steamed Mud Crab with Sticky Rice, the Crab Meat Seafood Thick Soup, the classic street-style Fried Fresh Eel, and the Almond Tofu Dessert, which provides a sweet finale to the meal.
