Favorable Impression Media's 2016 Asian Chef & Best Restaurants Guide already announced.Taiwan on line media first time select the significant restaurants of Asia.This event's selection area covers mainly Asia's urban restaurants and it targets Asia business elites. Re-known restaurants in Taipei including RAW, MUME, S.T. A.Y............and etc. are all in the short list.

According to the dining need of business elites

According to last year's Asia's new affluent consumers survey, Taiwan has the highest potential for high-end fine dining in Asia. Therefore, this selection has been conducted especially for the dining need of business elites. In this survey results, they will include 17 restaurants in Hong Kong, 22 in Tokyo, 13 in Kyoto, 7 in Taipei, 13 in Singapore, 15 in Bangkok, 5 in Macau and there will be no ranking of any restaurants.

Taiwan's celebrity chef André Chiang is in the list and his Restaurant Andre in Singapore as well as his RAW in Taipei are shortlisted. Andre Chiang's unique international experience and his original Octophilosophy have drawn attention from international media continuously.

His RAW in Taiwan also started the Bistronomy trend domestically and hence he becomes an important figure to lead dining fashion in the greater Chinese area.

Joel Robuchon from France is the one who introduced fine dining into Asia and his restaurants in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macau and Bangkok are also short-listed this time. This shows the status of the Joel Robuchon brand among business elites. It's also worth mentioning that the two biggest cities in Japan no matter for business or sightseeing, business people find them cities of gourmet.

Hong Kong and Macau still lead in Chinese cuisine. The extensiveness of top ingredients and highly experienced cooking skills of the chefs have allowed Cantonese cuisine to stay ahead of China's eight cooking schools. Hong Kong in the meanwhile is the heaven of multi-national gastronomy.

As a financial center, businessmen can always find restaurants above average standards.

It is also observed that the restaurants which can integrate diverse cooking skills, have great presentations, offer layers of balanced flavours and also creative in using local ingredients will gain popularity among business customers increasingly in the future. Chefs in Singapore and Thailand have relative advantages as they often go abroad to fine-tune their cooking skills in their spare time.

The restaurants selected this time are mostly pro new style cooking. Not only can they showcase cooking skills evolved with time but also take care of the representations of five senses. The service level and restaurant ambiance are part of the selection criteria. Also, there are conventional restaurants selected for their stable high level of ingredients and cooking skills that offer customers comfort and reliability.
