Founded by celebrity A-Wei, ‘Wei Dou Catering’ has teamed up with Hong Kong’s ‘Tai Hing Group’ to open the largest and most renowned Hong Kong-style BBQ cha chaan teng, ‘Tai Hing’, on the second floor of ‘Breeze Taipei Station’ on May 10th.

Established in 1989, Tai Hing Group has a 30-year history and encompasses 9 brands with over 185 restaurants. Its flagship brand, Tai Hing Restaurant, now operates nearly 110 locations across Greater China, becoming an indispensable dining option in people’s daily lives. This Taiwan debut prioritizes quality and flavor, promising to bring Taiwanese customers the most authentic Hong Kong taste.

Thirty years ago, Tai Hing started as a Hong Kong-style roast meat fast food shop. Over time, it has continuously innovated, offering customers a diverse and high-quality menu that includes roast meats, stir-fries, and dim sum.

Since its inception, Tai Hing has adhered to the core philosophy of ‘freshly made in-house,’ insisting on freshly preparing all signature roast meats every four hours and baking a variety of hot breads and dim sum every hour. The signature ‘Iced Milk Tea’ drink method was also pioneered by Tai Hing—pouring rich milk tea into a bowl filled with ice cubes to prevent dilution as the ice melts. All these efforts and commitments aim to deliver the highest quality meals and the same great taste that has remained unchanged for 30 years.

Taiwan’s featured product, ‘Special Selection Char Siu,’ boasts the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat and uses a unique preparation technique. At its peak in Hong Kong, it sold an astonishing 12,000 portions in a single day, earning the reputation of ‘BBQ King.’

Made using traditional methods and selected pork collar meat, the meat features clear marbling and a perfect blend of fat and lean, offering distinct layers of texture. It is then brushed with Tai Hing’s secret char siu sauce and roasted repeatedly. Once out of the oven, the meat is tender, juicy, soft yet firm, bursting with aroma, and striking the perfect balance of sweet and savory—a true delight for the taste buds.

The Fully Smoked Roast Duck is made from premium cherry ducks with tender and delicious meat. Roasted fresh daily and smoked using a proprietary blend of spices and a unique smoking technique, this dish revives the essence of traditional smoked roast duck. With one bite, the smoky aroma fills your mouth. The skin is crispy yet not greasy, paired with juicy and tender duck meat that is simply irresistible.
