Vegetarianism in China and Taiwan, mainly thanks to the Buddhist monks, started out from moral beliefs of not harming animals. This is in contrast to many western vegetarians who give up meat for health or taste reasons, albeit often with a moral side too.
Perhaps not surprising then is the prominence of fake meat in local vege cuisine. Sometimes it’s too good for us western veges :) So what happens when a French chef meets Taiwan? Well that’s what happened with the Marquise a cinque heures.
You can find the Marquise down a side street five minutes west of the Sun Yen Sat memorial.
