Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

The prime season for white asparagus is almost here again. From May to June 30, The Laiya Li Italian Restaurant at The Westin Taipei Wu Fu Palace is offering a limited-time white asparagus feast. Dishes include Hokkaido scallops with white asparagus for NT$1,180, grilled smoked salmon white asparagus bisque for NT$520, Japanese-style seared tuna with white asparagus served with teriyaki butter sauce for NT$1,380, and wagyu beef with white asparagus and morel mushrooms for NT$2,180.

The Laiya Li Italian Restaurant at The Westin Taipei Wu Fu Palace selects fresh white asparagus imported from France, graded “2A,” with a diameter of about 2 to 2.5 centimeters. This size offers the most tender texture, avoiding the overly thick and fibrous consistency that can affect the delicate taste. To highlight the richness and sweetness of the premium French white asparagus, the restaurant’s chef drizzles it with butter, pairs it with cheese and seafood to bring out its natural sweetness, or simmers it with onions and milk to create a smooth and silky bisque.
