Ye Chun, a time-honored Yangzhou dining brand, recently saw its Taipei restaurant enlisted on the “plate award” in the Taipei Michelin Guide as a representative restaurant for Huaiyang cuisine.
Only 67 restaurants have reportedly won the award, with Ye Chun from Yangzhou the only restaurant offering Huaiyang cuisine. It is also the first Yangzhou catering enterprise to rank in the Michelin evaluation system.
Ye Chun’s Taipei restaurant, invested by Yangtze River Group based in Yangzhou, opened in 2010. As a project of “Jiangsu investing Taiwan”, Ye Chun brought the more than 2,000-year-old Huaiyang cuisine to the island.
“Through all these years, we’ve presented to Taiwan the most authentic traditional Huaiyang cuisine. Yangzhou meatballs, dried bean-curd threads in consomme, crispy squirrel shaped fish and three-nested ducks are a few popular dishes among local gourmets.” said the Ye Chun restaurant manager in Taipei.
This year’s evaluation was the result of a blind audition where the judges dressed up as common customers to visit the restaurant and then gave marks. The Ye Chun Taipei restaurant stood out from tens of thousands of restaurants with high marks by professionals.
