As the solar term of Frost’s Descent arrives, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a bowl of braised soup. In response, Cantonese cuisine restaurant Yuelyang at Renaissance Sixty-six Taipei has launched a new autumn-winter braised soup series, offering authentic Hong Kong-style soups. With the creative concept of “male” and “female” soups, the series officially debuts on November 1st, priced at NT$360 per bowl plus 10% service charge.

The executive chef at Yuelyang Cantonese Cuisine, located on the 8th floor of Renaissance Sixty-six Taipei, has created two distinctive personal soups tailored to the differing constitutions of men and women, creatively named “Male Soup” and “Female Soup.” Regardless of the version, both are based on a blend of half premium stock and half secondary stock, then slow-simmered for 12 hours with various medicinal ingredients. The Male Soup features nourishing herbs such as Morinda officinalis, Eucommia bark, and dragon bones, which help invigorate the liver and kidneys and strengthen tendons and bones. The Female Soup includes ingredients like Gastrodia elata, white peony root, fish maw, and black-bone chicken, all rich in collagen and ideal for warming and nourishing the female body.
