Taman Paramount’s new Twenty Five N 25 promises a Taiwanese chef’s recipes rooted in memory, its name nodding to Taipei’s latitude, its menu leaning into generations-old culinary comforts.
Our best bet: Steamed Flatfish taps into household pantry traditions, dressed with cordia fruit seeds, with gently fermented juices seeping into the delicate fish flesh for salty-sweet depth.
Peeled Chilli Chicken Soup is an island classic of soulful simmered poultry with preserved green chillies, prized for mellow savoury heat, with plump clams lending the clear broth a clean oceanic lift.
Familiar Taiwanese favourites are also featured, from richly braised pork rice to beef noodle soup, three cup chicken to egg crepes.
