Nestled in the vibrant alleys of Taipei’s Da’an District, Fermented by 曾 House redefines modern Taiwanese cuisine through the art of fermentation. The restaurant transforms local ingredients with time-honored techniques, offering a layered and deeply satisfying dining experience.
Chef & Philosophy
Chef Tseng Shih-Ming believes fermentation is the soul of Taiwanese food culture, drawing inspiration from his grandmother’s earthen jars and indigenous traditions. By crafting house-made soy sauces, misos, and fermented vegetables, he elevates dishes with profound umami and narrative, honoring the land and memory.
Signature Experience
The tasting menu begins with a “Fermentation Platter” of house-fermented bites, while the “Fermented Pork Belly” features a long-aged sauce that tenderizes the meat and deepens flavor. The “Koji Ice Cream” dessert surprises with a sweet, fermented finish.
Ambiance
The space combines warm wood tones and ceramic decor for a cozy yet modern feel, with an open kitchen that invites guests to witness the fermentation magic firsthand.
Practical Information
Reservations are recommended two weeks in advance via the website or phone; ideal for special celebrations or culinary exploration. Dress code is semi-formal casual, avoiding overly casual attire.
