I didn't expect this restaurant hidden in a small alley near our hotel to be such a wonderful surprise. There are many wonderful restaurants in Taipei so this one was not on my original list to try. By luck I found this hidden gem when we wanted to have dinner at a place nearby the hotel. And what a surprise! The ingredients are fresh and high quality, all dish no MSG. Plus they are super delicious! Even the rice tastes very nice. Highly recommended!

We arrived on a Saturday evening and was welcomed by the proprietor. She introduced us to special Yunnan and Sichuan cuisine. Her brief was to serve home cooked food in a beautiful and relaxing ambience. Her team easily achieved that and more. He Feng is one of the restaurants in Taipei which espouses the concept of ingredients taken from the best farms and sources and served (farm to table concept) in an unpretentious way. Nothing fusion about this place! This would please many who may be tired of the new genre of nouvelle local cuisine offered by the recently anointed one and two Michelin starred restaurants. Soya sauce and all the produce came from one of the local best Taiwanese small independent producers. Such attention to detail was note worthy. Food was served pipping hot and abound with tastes and flavours that one finds at home. No additives or seasoning to detract us away from the full essence of the natural ingredients! Simple dishes that wowed me include lightly chilled pickled cucumbers to start. We had pork sautéed with chives and garlic, baked chicken served chilled, sweet potato leaves cooked in goose fat and prawns fried with salt and pepper. Rounding it off was special red bean bun which came steaming hot and was an absolutely delight. The dough is special, soft and fluffy, and not the usual white dough found in most shops. Complimentary pineapple juices freshly made capped the night. We will definitely be back.

Highly recommended this Chinese restaurant. Great place for family and business gathering. You can choose the set, all the food I like very much.
