Chiou Hwa Restaurant – Glorial Prince Hotel – Taipei, Taiwan
I always consider it a privilege when I visit the Chiou Hwa restaurant at the prestigious Gloria Prince Hotel in Taipei. The Executive Chef, Peter Wu, is a close friend of my uncle. The dishes here are exquisite and extremely flavorful. Each and every dish (including side dishes) are plated artistically and are quite beautiful. The service is impeccable, there are assigned servers for the duration of the meal.
The menu is designed and fixed, and when you arrive the menu will be in decorative envelopes (one for each person), addressed to the host of the party listing the night’s dishes.
Chef Wu is famous for his creative dishes, he ensures a strict high standard for every single element to ensure that each item is a masterpiece. That particular night, we had a 7 course meal starting with a cold whole abalone salad, a hot and flavorful shark fin soup, a sliced duck wrap, steamed prawn, Chinese sausage rice, a red bean rice cake and apple pastry, and ending with a crisp fresh coconut milk fruit medley.
