MUME, Taipei

Ranked seventh this year among Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, MUME might be burdened with expectations it can't completely meet. It nonetheless merits a visit for its parade of thoughtfully conceived creations, particularly a wagyu tartare that's revelatory, conveying a deep purity of flavour and lively freshness of texture. Everything else is enjoyable enough, though from the tartlets to the colourful crudo, the milkfish with abalone to the ox tongue, this meal in Taipei works best to illustrate how chefs dedicated to their craft strive to keep exploring new horizons and pushing their boundaries.

Tairroir, Taipei

Tairroir offers one of Taipei's most inventively exquisite dining experiences - a multi-course trek through Taiwanese produce, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, with highlights of ingredients that span local clams with Guguan Beluga caviar, yellow garlic chives, bean sprouts and bonito flakes; Penghu oyster with crispy duck egg shreds and seasonal vegetables; summer bamboo shoots with silver herring tempura (our favourite for the evening); Pu'er tea silkie egg congee; chicken wing stuffed with braised abalone; belt fish with pickled young ginger, Yunlin white asparagus and goji berry bearnaise; Pingtung pigeon; bitter gourd sorbet with apple tea foam; and pineapple cake with salted egg. The wine pairing is well worthwhile too, with stimulating choices throughout.
