北馥樓 PEI-FULL RESTAURANTShanghai cuisine, born on the docks, has always been inclusive and diverse. Bei Fu Lou, rooted in classic Shanghai dishes, incorporates culinary techniques from around the world, reimagining nostalgic flavors with modern methods, earning it a place in the Taiwan Michelin Guide for two consecutive years.
The depth of culinary skill lies not in the moment spent in front of the oven, but in the countless steps taken outside: selecting ingredients, air-drying, controlling color, and maintaining the fire—each step is a matter of time. The Peking duck is prepared two days before entering the oven; the amber-colored goose is colored three times—too dark and it becomes bitter, too light and it becomes bland; the Dongpo pork is simmered over low heat for a long time, the lid not lifted before it's done. Bei Fu Lou never compromises on dishes that cannot be rushed. The head chef maintains the habit of going to the market early in the morning, using seasonal ingredients, while the principles of cooking time and temperature remain traditional.
The main private room, "Hu Ting," features a round table for twenty people, perfect for three generations or large family gatherings, where there's no need for separate seating, and Taipei 101 is right outside the window as you raise a glass. Important matters should be handled with care.
