Hong Kong’s Michelin one-star restaurant “Tim Ho Wan” has added another new outlet. Ever since it launched in Taiwan, it has consistently drawn long queues and gained immense popularity among locals. To allow even more people to enjoy authentic Hong Kong-style flavors, following the announcement of its takeaway store opening before the end of November, Tim Ho Wan also opened its Taipei Xinyi branch at New Taipei City A8, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi on December 17. In addition to serving its signature one-star dishes made to order and steamed fresh, the newly opened Taipei Xinyi branch has also introduced......a Taiwan-exclusive new menu item available only at the Taipei Xinyi branch.

Additionally, while Taiwan’s Tim Ho Wan takeaway store does offer takeout, the team selected 12 menu items with both “texture” and “ease of eating” in mind when curating the takeaway menu. For example, the texture and flavor of cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) can be easily affected by temperature, making them unsuitable for takeaway. As a result, only three out of the signature Four Heavenly Kings can be taken away — the crispy BBQ pork buns, pan-fried radish cake, and smooth Malay sponge cake.
During the opening period of the Taipei Xinyi branch, three grand opening promotions have been launched, allowing guests to enjoy authentic Hong Kong-style flavors and stand a chance to win round-trip flight tickets as a grand prize. (Image source / Tim Ho Wan Taiwan Timhowan Taiwan)
