"Three Michelin-starred Le Palais in TaipeiLe PalaisThree stars, MICHELIN Guide Taipei 2018The two executive chefs at Le Palais have more signature dishes in their bag of tricks than the reputed crispy roast baby duck. Their vegetarian version of Buddha’s Temptation from the vegetarian set menu, for instance, requires a high level of care and experience — par-cooked daikon and deep-fried shiitake mushroom, king trumpet mushroom and taro are cooked for 30 minutes along with fresh daikon, wheat gluten roll, gingko nut and goji berry in a vegetable broth that had been simmering for three hours in advance. The clay pot rice, with fragrant, oil-velveted vegetarian ham and shiitake mushroom, is just as much a head-turner in the eight-course menu. It’s served with a clay pot rice sauce combining two soya sauces made of black bean and soya bean respectively." - MICHELIN Guide Taipei Editorial Team
