It’s great to see a Taiwanese entrepreneur doing so well on British TV. However, I have to stress that Ching’s dishes are westernised and modified Chinese dishes. Since I am Taiwanese, I have to disagree that not all her dishes are Taiwanese street food, not all dishes she make are Taiwanese food and not all dishes are Taiwanese speciality. I would suggest that Ching inform the public that her dishes are modified version of Chinese food and are not Taiwanese dishes. If they truely are Taiwanese dishes, I apologise. But certainly after watching her program this evening on BBC, Ching has certainly modified her Taiwanese dishes signficantly to suit the west, which I can not recognise these dishes anymore.
As for Ching’s recipe, I have made one of her dishes from her book. The dish takes ok and was acceptable.
