Wakin's
Kitchen
First, a
Bit of Background...
Wakin's
Kitchen has five locations in Taipei, Taiwan and
specializes in Cantonese cuisine. Cantonese
cuisine is widely recognized across the world as one of
the greatest cooking styles on the planet, and
justifiably so. Dishes served in this style are
noted for containing only the freshest of ingredients,
and are as beautiful when served as they are delicious
to eat. The palate of the Cantonese is also famously
adventurous, which makes for a wide range of dishes
featuring many unusual and exotic ingredients. It
is the combination of all of these things which makes
Cantonese dining such an exciting and rewarding culinary
experience.
During
our recent visit to Taipei, we were fortunate enough to
be able to patronize the primary location of Wakin's
Kitchen and sample the menu. There are a wide
variety of dishes available, ranging from "Dim Sum" all
the way up to the most elegant gourmet dishes.
Should your travel plans include a trip to Taipei, do
NOT leave the city without having visited Wakin's
Kitchen! The food is absolutely AMAZING!!
Virtual
Tour
Really
want to visit the Kitchen, but can't squeeze a trip to
Taiwan in right now?
Well unfortunately, I
can't help you with a plane ticket. But I can take
you on a little virtual walk-through, and let you at
least see the restaurant. Ready?
The location we visited
is one level up from the street. As you ascend the
flight of stairs, the wall is papered with advertisements for
Wakin's Kitchen, which include many tempting and
beautiful dishes.
The
front door placard, letting you know you're in the right
place.
The
front desk was all decorated for Christmas!
Here's
the front of the restaurant. You can't tell from
the photo because it is night time, but the far wall is
made of windows that look out over the busy streets of
Taipei, one story below. I am not completely sure, but I
think that the elevated train also runs right by the
restaurant, outside of those windows, right about eye
level.
Many of
the interior decorations look just like a Chinese
restaurant here at home in the United States.
