Top Taiwan Restaurants in Shanghai

Taiwan Cuisine is originated from Fujian Cuisine, because many of the original Taiwanese were immigrants from Fujian, a coastal province in southeastern China and facing Taiwan Island to its southeast. Taiwanese have improved traditional Fujian Cuisine to create their own cooking style. Japanese Cuisine, Hong Kong Cuisine and the 8 Chinse Cuisines mainland have also influenced the forming of the cuisine. Now, Taiwan Cuisine has already become independent and distinctive.

Shanghai attracts many Taiwanese merchants due to its fast economic development, so more and more Taiwanese start to take interest in visiting or settling down in this city. As a result, Taiwan Cuisine gradually becomes popular. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea and abundant in marine products, so seafood is sure to lead the fashion of the cuisine. In top Taiwan restaurants in Shanghai, you can have fresh fish, crabs and shrimps as well as some tasty snacks.
