You may not know it, but the perennial champion of the Taipei International Beef Noodle Festival’s “God of Cookery” competition—Master Hong—is a native son of Kinmen through and through. Driven by a wish to give back to his hometown, Master Hong—whose beef-noodle brand has won award after award in Taiwan and is now expanding into an international chain—has returned to his “roots” by opening Hong Chef Kinmen. His gold-medal skill shines in the beef dishes he takes pride in; their refined variety injects a fresh spirit into Kinmen’s dining scene and offers the island’s culinary culture a chance to evolve. Whether you drop in for a grand banquet or a casual drink, the Zen-inspired décor shows the same care Master Hong brings to his cooking.
