The plans
- Taiwanese · fishHarbor-side Taiwanese Supper
A bright, soy-forward family meal centered on simply grilled mackerel glazed with scallion‑soy dressing, balanced by a slow-holding soy-braised tofu with shiitake, a quick wok-tossed garlic gai lan, and a cool Taiwanese cucumber salad; barley tea for the children and Taiwan Beer for adults keep the flavors grounded. The menu showcases classic Taiwanese seasonings—soy, rice wine, sesame, and ginger—while keeping every component finishable inside a single, honest cooking window.
- Taiwanese · fishTaiwanese Evening: Steamed Sea Bass & Family Supper
A bright, classic Taiwanese steamed whole fish centered on ginger, scallion and hot-oil aromatics, paired with crunchy gai lan and a crisp cucumber quick-pickle—clean flavors, quick techniques, and one finish-to-order centerpiece that rewards timing.
