Charcoal grilled duck breast glazed with Mexican pibil, tamal stuffed with duck liver, salsa verde, reduction of duck jus and pibil. And of course there were duck empanadas. The pastry was in terracotta color( thanks to the addition of paprika) matching the interior color theme! Onto desserts we had roselle granita with blueberries and queso fresco, Peruvian St Martin chocolate and cashew, delightful trio of sweet treats- picaron( Peruvian pumpkin+sweet potato doughnut), Mexican chocolate truffle with chipotle, lime and coconut brigadeiro. There were afajores to take home too😍
I often get asked what draws me to Latin American food. Well there are many popular dishes( tamales, empanadas and ceviche for example) served on almost every Latin American tables, the recipes and cooking styles vary though. They represent each region’s unique geography, agriculture and cultural influences( from indigenous natives to European colonizers to Asian immigrants). And that makes this robust and flavorful cuisine so much fun to explore. Congratulations again @zea.tpe 🎉 Thank you for having us over before the official opening. Can’t wait to return!

Taking inspiration from Latin America’s colorful cultural history, everything here from the space to tableware to food and wine illustrates the vibrant heritage from some 11000 miles away. With chopsticks and locally sourced ingredients bonding Taiwan and Latin America together. On this day we had little bites of delight- crab tostada, scallop aguachile and chipa. Impossibly beautiful hamachi ceviche peruano. Superb homemade bread and Familia Zuccardi premium EVOO. Highlighting 4 of Mendoza’s oldest varieties including Argentina’s flagship arauco. First time tasting non European olive oil and wow was I blown away! Purple potatoes and mole poblano then took center stage, talk about making magic with humble ingredients! Red prawn Caribbean curry in a gorgeous sea inspired bowl! Spanish mackerel cooked “ a la talla”, grilled kohlrabi, Mexican adobo and amazing mate hollandaise. Muy sabroso patita con mani, a sophisticated version of Peruvian pig trotters with peanuts. To be continued.

Tapping into spectacular Latin American vibes! This was the prelude back in March to an exciting addition to Taipei’s dining scene. Infladita, empanada, ceviche peruano, steak anticuchos, @elizondo_joaquin masterfully combined Taiwanese produce with Latin American flavors and cooking styles. And oh my heavens the decadent chocolate pillow by @andre_g_rosas using Peruvian grand cru chocolate Alto el Sol with amazing red fruits like acidity. Rich and indulgent with a texture that was both light and smooth. Can’t wait to see more of @zea.tpe ❤️✨

Canton food love runs deep.
Came here for fish maw soup dumplings and sautéed fish maw with clam, loofah and minced pork. It was a bonus to find these knockouts on the menu, deep fried sesame balls stuffed with bird’s nest and apricot kernel milk and fried boneless frog leg stuffed with julienned shiitake, jinhua ham and the most tender part of Chinese kale, a beautiful Shunde dish named after its presentation like a jade hairpin.

The day when I surprised everyone but @lu__kevin at @logy.tw by having 3 beverage pairings. But seriously, why choose when available options are all stunningly attractive?
5 non alcoholic, 5 and 7 wine covering 11 labels. The grand paring totally shifted this dining experience to a whole new level! Incredibly fun and interesting, educational too.

It was a fabulous winter at Logy❤️✨
Tofu mitarashi dango filled with walnut and topped with caviar and sea salt. Buddha’s hand, squid, clarified coconut milk infused with herbs and a dash of galangal oil. Lightly poached oyster with creamy caramelized eggplant, crown daisy and oyster milk. I thanked myself for keeping a sip of junmai ginjo for the iconic chawanmushi. Then there was probably the best creme brulee I’d ever had. Creamy shirako, grassy green pepper confit with a hint of sweet umami, buttery and citrusy hollandaise, and a caramelized brown butter top. Langoustine with corn purée, Comte 24 months and nasturtium flower, superb sauce made with vin jaune and sherry from Jura. Roasted rose duck( dry aged with burnt hay for 2 weeks) skin was glazed with honey then blow torched, served with duck jus, blackcurrant and variations of mushrooms dusted with cocoa powder. Apricot kernel panna cotta, starcruit, persimmon, tagetes lemmonii. Buckwheat ice cream, fig and olive oil. True elegance is about being remembered and this visit was back in last Dec. Voila.

In March, 3 immensely talented professionals took on fun challenges together to create collaboration magic. And it was indeed an evening full of deliciousness! The scallop crudo came with the most amazing sunchoke consommé and a touch of coffee oil, absolutely sensational. Then there was the oyster covered in green velvet. I was sure amused by this brilliant spin off from Logy’s poached oyster dish and its juice pairing on their winter menu. The clarified cocktails were refined and complex, with amazing mouthfeel and layers of flavors, like food in liquid form. Bravo @jeffdownss @ryogotahara_logy @yicheliao on your beautiful waltz👏👏👏

Stunning degustation. Every dish was meticulously crafted and every bite was a joy to savor. The light and refreshing scallop kombujime with local green jujube was almost too beautiful to eat. There were gherkins and capers( western tsukemono?) vanilla oil and a superb yoghurt sauce made with sakekasu and honey vinegar, finally shallots and finger lime added more pop. The rich and hearty roasted veal ribeye and fried raviolo stuffed with foie gras and porcini, fondant celeriac, parsnip purée and crown daisy, finished with foie gras and port jus, plus a drizzle of red wine jus reduction. The extraordinary desserts executed with so much thoughtfulness to highlight the beauty of seasonal strawberries. And impeccable chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream and shaoxing wine glaze.
The incredible company of lovely new friends was of course the icing on the cake❤️
