A large crowd of International and national students alike, gathered at the Caesar Park Hotel in Taipei, to witness the first ever “Taiwan Fine Food Tasting Campaign”, organized by Corporate Synergy Development Center.

Among the invited guests, were foreign students from three top universities in Taiwan, namely, Ming Chuan, Tai Da and Shu Da, and host of the “Travel and Living Channel” Toku.
All foreign participants were given the opportunity to taste all Taiwanese Food (Buffet Style) and vote the top ten Delicious Dishes. The dishes were divided into two categories, Snacks and Table Set Menu.

“I liked it,” said Kananji Msaka, a sophomore student majoring in International Business at the International College of Ming Chuan University. “But I thought it would have been creative food rather than foods you can find at the Night Markets.”
He said his favourite table set menu was the Buddah’s Delight, because it wasn’t like most taiwaneese soup. It was thick with flavor and an unusual taste.

‘It was pretty good,” said Toku, who is Japanese and host of the Travel and Living Channel. “I met a lot of foreigners and journalist, which was a great experience.”
As a snack, Stinky Tofu was his favourite and Steamed Grouper was his best Table Set Menu.

‘Oyster Omelet’ was voted first place for the snack category, while ‘Pearl Milk’ Tea came in
second. As for the Table Set Menu, ‘Scrambled egg with dried radish’ got first place, followed by ‘Deep fried mushrooms’ and ‘Sautéed chicken cubes with dried chili’ (Palace chicken) which tied for second place.
