Take Me Home – Taiwan at the Standard

For our next dinner series, we’re paying homage to our amazing team, their heritage and cuisine. It’s been a long couple of years in hospo-world, with many of our team unable to return home to see their families. Each Take Me Home dinner will celebrate a special member of our work family, and bring a few of their home comforts to the table to share with you. Kicking off with Wes our Chef de Partie who hails from Taiwan. $85pp with matching wines by Vinteloper

Join us in channelling ‘renao’, the untranslatable ‘hot and noisy’ spirit of Taiwanese life as we explore a rich and tangled culinary history — from the bustling midnight food markets to steamy hot-pot palaces and the punchy cultural patchwork of deliciousness in between.
