Its chilli oil is made by slow-cooking over 20 natural ingredients. Try the original or the thick Masterspicy Spicy Noodle.
	Awesome Sauce: Premium Taiwanese Condiments Umami-packed condiments are arguably the heart of Taiwanese cuisine. Want to enjoy the taste of Taiwan at home? You’ll want to stock up on these sauces by Hongjia! Chef Chen, founder of Hongjia, believes in making food products that he would also personally eat and enjoy; hence all of his products are made using natural and healthy ingredients, and without the use of artificial flavouring and preservatives.  The ultra-popular Fried Shallot Goose Oil is made from the essence of 7 to 9 geese, and are packed full of unsaturated fats. We love having this with a bowl of hot, fluffy rice! The Dried Scallop XO Sauce comes in Original and Spicy flavours, and is made using quality scallops, Jinhua ham, dried shrimps, garlic, shallot and chilli pepper. Love the umami flavour? Try Hongjia’s Garlic Shrimp and Sakura Shrimp Sauce, great with eggplant and tofu! Other must-try Hongjia condiments include Fish Larvae Sauce, Ginger Sesame Oil, Wild Caviar, Scallop Shrimp Sweet Sauce, Dried Fish with Black Bean Sauce, Spicy Squid and Garlic Chilli Paste.
	Fantastic Fusion: French-style Pineapple Cake A delicious piece of buttery, sweet and tangy pineapple cake is a dream come true, but how about adding a French touch to this beloved Taiwanese snack? Hailing from Taiwan, AR’S Patisserie elevates the traditional pineapple cake by combining French artisanal techniques with fresh Taiwanese produce. The brand uses trehalose, a healthy alternative that is not as sweet as other sugars.  With its pastry made 100% from almond flour and its filling made using local pineapples, this exquisite French-style Pineapple Cake has received an award in the Taipei Pineapple Cake Competition 2013.
	A Hearty Treat from Taiwan: Green Onion Pancake The thought of sinking our teeth into a piece of hot, fresh green onion pancake is enough to get us salivating!  Established in 2013, Charming Couple aims to re-define traditional cuisine by producing high-quality food products that are able to maintain the most natural and authentic taste.  Charming Couple Green Onion Pancake Made without additives and is vegan-friendly, this Green Onion Pancake has a fluffy, golden pastry with a juicy green onion filling. Other available flavours: Yam, Quinoa, BBQ Sauce and Sweet Chilli**. Charming Couple Shandong Roast Chicken Cooked with Chinese herbs and to be enjoyed with a special sauce made using essence extracted by steaming the chicken, the Shandong Roast Chicken is as tender as it is flavourful.   **Stocks of specific flavours are available at Times Square, Harbour City and New Town Plaza stores only.

	Taiwanese Speciality: Salted Mullet Roe The karasumi, or salted mullet roe, is a Taiwanese delicacy that can be enjoyed in many ways! Using only the roe of female mullet fish, it is usually prepared by deep-drying, grilling or cooking with wine.  The cooked salted mullet roe is then cut into thin slices and eaten along with sliced apple, radish or leek. Its unique taste pairs well with alcohol.
