Summer vacation is here, and hotels are pulling out all the stops to entice families to visit. One five-star hotel in Taipei is offering the most popular local bites from Tainan to bring in the crowds, including stir-fried eel noodles and seafood pot noodles. Even the glutinous rice cakes and shrimp meatballs from hugely popular Tainan restaurants can be enjoyed in the comfort of high-class buffet restaurants. As the stock market continues to hit record highs, people aren’t skimping on a delicious night out.

A wok is heated until is glows red. Then comes the oil, quickly followed by eel stir-fried in the roaring flames and tossed with noodles. After mere seconds, this meal of Tainan eel noodles is ready to serve.

Full of fresh shrimp, scallops, and abalone, this seafood pot is tossed fresh in noodles for the most authentic southern flavor. Now, the best of Tainan’s cuisine can be enjoyed right in Taipei.

Mr. Liu
Rice cake restaurant owner
This recipe was passed down to me by my grandmother. I hope to pass down this kind of rice cake through any means.

Wei Shih-chang
Shrimp meatball restaurant owner
We try to keep it as close to its authentic, original taste as possible. Partnering with a hotel means they’ll help us generate exposure, whether for our shop or for Tainan as a whole.

This five-star hotel in Taipei invited famous restaurants in Tainan to bring their specialities up north. These gelatinous rice cakes are even served in traditional wooden barrels and bicycles from the Japanese era. The freshly steamed shrimp meatballs are delicious with a drizzle of sauce. And be sure to follow it up with a refreshing cup of A Mei Ma’s tea. With the stock market hitting new highs, more people are willing to splurge on buffets than ever before.

Doesn’t look at price
The stock market has given me more pocket money lately, so it makes you want to spend a bit more, like on travel abroad or restaurants. I don’t even look at the price so much.

Chen Mu-shan
Hotel marking assistant manager
We brought in several legacy shops from Tainan to launch this Tainan Food Culture Festival. Driven by the stock market’s performance, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in dining voucher sales and reservations, which have boosted revenue by 10% to 20%.

The hotel is also offering more bang for your buck by giving out raffle tickets for traditional Tainan pudding and creative products, including a grand prize of a dining voucher for NT$20,000.
