[Taiwan: Tainan] YuDao 予島

Rating: 4.25/5

Follow me to YuDao 予島 in Tainan - a love letter by Chef Nick Yang to the beautiful ingredients of his hometown! Meaning “to give to an island”, the restaurant works with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans to showcase the beauty of Taiwan. I first met Chef Nick at Sinasera 24 - one of Taiwan’s most acclaimed destination restaurants in Taitung - where I fell in love with his cooking. Having trained in France, the chef combines his classical French techniques with the seasonal local ingredients into his own expression of contemporary Taiwanese cuisine. From iconic Tainan ingredients to traditional banquet dishes, guests can experience these culinary memories from a new perspective. Favorites of the night included the abalone & coconut soup with puff pastry, Changbin prawn torched à la minute, Nansi Sika deer tsukune, and black pork with an incredible crust. From the exquisite dishes to the thoughtful details of the menu and tableware, the dining experience here was simply wonderful - YuDao is a must visit when in Tainan.
