The Chairman in Hong Kong was named the No. 1 restaurant in the region by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021 on March 25. It was the first establishment in Hong Kong to take the top spot, followed by Odette in Singapore and Den in Tokyo, Japan at the second and third spot. The event is hailed as the Oscars of fine dining in Asia.
Five Taiwanese restaurants made it to this year’s list: Mume (No. 15), Raw (No. 21), JL Studio (No. 26), Shoun RyuGin (No. 45), as well as new entry Logy (No. 24). However, Taiwan’s only Michelin three-star restaurant Le Palais was not on the list. All the winning restaurants are located in Taipei except JL Studio in Taichung.
Angela Lai of Tairroir in Taipei was named Asia’s Best Pastry Chef 2021, becoming the first Taiwanese chef to take the crown. Originally from Singapore, Lai moved to Taiwan in 2015 and is best known for her signature “Pong Pia” dessert.
