A dish that brings to mind memories of catching fish by the stream in summer and gazing at the terraced mountains... "HOSU," a borderless cuisine restaurant in Taipei, uses plates and taste buds as canvases to vividly portray the imagery of Taiwan's islands. Led by Chef Ian Li Yi-An from the well-known Taipei gastropub "No. 1 Island Kitchen," it has transformed into a new brand and opened its doors this year, determined to fully showcase Taiwanese ingredients and local flavors.
In recent years, the trend of "the more local, the more international" has gained popularity, with people increasingly focusing on Taiwan as an island in various aspects such as culture and cuisine, attempting to explore new dimensions of Taiwanese culture. Chef Ian has been on this journey for the past ten years.
