Taiwanese Cuisine: A Cornucopia of Delicacies Taiwanese cuisine originated in Fukien. This province, located in southern China, began to prosper in the Sung dynasty (960-1279). During that period the Yangtse River area, rich in fish and rice, was already well developed. Merchants from Hangchou and Ningpo, port cities in the delta, were bustling between their home ports and Fuchou in Fukien, bringing to Fuchou the art of Chiangche(now Shanghai) cuisine.

In a nation that has frequently suffered from starvation, a common greeting is "Have you eaten yet?" Even now, meals still hold a central place in Chinese society.

It is a mouth-watering form of cuisine which continues to increase in popularity as adaptations are made to suit local taste preferences.
