Ming Fu
A long-time favorite among Taipei gourmands, Ming Fu has been delighting diners for over 40 years. Known for its signature Abalone Sticky Rice Chicken — available in limited quantities daily — and its pre-order-only Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the restaurant remains a must-visit for lovers of traditional Taiwanese flavors. Reservations by phone are essential.
Despite its modest size and simple décor, Ming Fu has become a dining landmark, attracting politicians, business leaders, and devoted food enthusiasts alike. Serving only one seating per evening, the restaurant ensures every guest enjoys an unhurried, comfortable dining experience in true Taiwanese fashion.
The legendary Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a masterpiece of flavour and finesse — featuring chicken gizzards, shark fin, abalone, scallops, and pork knuckle simmered to create a clear yet deeply aromatic broth. Other crowd favourites include the Abalone Sticky Rice Chicken, Red Crab Glutinous Rice, and Tuna Sausage, all showcasing the culinary craftsmanship of Chef A-Ming, whose dedication and skill have made Ming Fu the city’s quintessential destination for authentic Taiwanese seafood cuisine.
