ASIAN CUISINE

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about

TAIWAN

Taiwanese cuisine has several variations. In addition to the following representative dishes from the majority Hoklo, there are also Aboriginal, Hakka, and local derivatives of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine.

Taiwanese cuisine itself is often associated with influences from mid to southern provinces of China, most notably from the south of Fujian (Hokkien) which often leads to it being classified or grouped with 'Southern Fujianese cuisine'. However, influences from all of mainland China can easily be found after the Kuomintang retreat to the island which brought along a large number of Chinese chefs from the mainland. A notable Japanese influence also exists due to the period when Taiwan was under Japanese rule. Traditional Chinese food can be found in Taiwan, alongside Fujian and Hakka-style as well as native Taiwanese dishes, including dishes from Guangdong, Jiangxi, Chaoshan, Shanghai, Hunan, Sichuan and Beijing.
