Chao Ping Ji - Taipei, Taiwan

Chao Ping Ji, located in the San Want Hotel in Taipei is known for its Chao-Chow specialties. Chao-chow, the coastal village east of Guangdong Province, has a cooking style similar to Cantonese cuisine although it is usually lighter in flavoring and embraces the importance of the freshness of the ingredients themselves. Well-known for its braised and steamed seafood and vegetarian dishes, Chao-chow cuisine is exemplified at Chao Ping Ji through their rendition of marinated goose slices, shawl crab served cold with special dipping sauce, and Shark's Fin steamed in chicken broth.

Upon my visit, I decided to forgo the marinated goose slices and instead chose a wonderfully simple set course menu. Here is the proof.
