"Complete with a courtyard and a high-ceilinged foyer, both the interior and the food of this luxurious mansion are evocative of 1930s glamour. The must-try roast suckling pig uses only 21-day-old hogs, slow-cooked for 12 hours and roasted until crisp and golden. Another speciality, deboned chicken braised in pork tripe, takes six hours to prepare. Round off with azuki bean pancakes topped with a spun sugar nest: a feast for both the eye and the tastebuds." - Michelin Inspector
"I’ve been eating at Taiwanese rechao restaurants for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories of Taipei are of sitting outdoors at a short table with my parents as they ordered platters of wok-fried eggplant and poached calamari with sweet and sour chili sauce. Certain details stand out: the bright vermilion hue of the tables contrasting with pastel-pink plastic chairs, the flicker of a broken streetlamp on the corner, the sweat of my dad’s beer bottle, the incessant buzz of motorcycles whizzing by. As a young child visiting Taiwan from my home in the United States, I found rechao chaotic. But when I eventually moved to Taipei when I was 29, rechao restaurants became a sanctuary—places where I could meet up with friends and sit in the familiar, comforting noises of the island." - Clarissa Wei
"Mountain and Sea House was awarded the MICHELIN Green Star this year." - MICHELIN Guide Asia
"Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion—sitting around a steaming hot pot, putting in all kinds of different ingredients, taking whatever you want to enjoy while sharing lives and chatting with each other. Chef Tsai, executive chef of one-Michelin-starred Mountain and Sea House, has created a "White Pomfret Noodle Soup" dish for Lunar New Year as the term for white pomfret sounds like "prosperity" in Chinese." - MICHELIN Guide Asia
"Taiwanese cuisine is in the limelight in this year’s guide too—Mountain and Sea House is a newly minted one-starred restaurant that has been offering authentic traditional Taiwanese cuisine, some of which are hardly seen nowadays." - Hsieh Ming Ling
