Author: Lo Miki Suet Publisher: Bright Culture Size: 150mm x 210mm Pages: 192 ISBN: 978-988-8884-61-2 Publication Date: July 2025 [Introduction] Lo Miki Suet's latest publication of the year, venturing beyond Hong Kong to recommend the delicious tastes of Taiwan! Miki Suet's connection with Taiwan began through her work. She lived there for over two years more than twenty years ago and still frequently flies to Taiwan to savor its culinary delights, from high-end Michelin-starred restaurants to humble night market stalls. She doesn't want to miss any good food. Her Hong Kong friend Lai Mo-chi, who once worked with Miki Suet in Taiwan and still resides there, affectionately calls herself Miki's "Food Ambassador in Taiwan." Lai Mu-chi has witnessed Miki's passion and devotion to food: "She's willing to invest time and effort, book flights and hotels, just to travel to Taiwan for food. Loving food and knowing food are just the basics. What I've truly witnessed over the years is Miki's passion and devotion to cuisine. ... Food, like character, is neither noble nor lowly. For Miki, a Michelin three-star restaurant isn't necessarily the ultimate; a NT$20 spicy braised egg from a convenience store is unmissable." Another Taiwanese friend, whom Miki Suet calls her "Taiwan Souvenir Procurement Officer," Ko Pui-chun, describes herself as "a Taiwanese discovering Taiwan's good flavors through a Hongkonger": " ... Taiwanese foods that I never found particularly special came into my view through Miki's curated lists. I began to realize that these seemingly ordinary foods and snacks were so extraordinary in the eyes of an outsider. ... And it’s not just about eating; she also learns the stories behind the dishes from the shop owners or chefs, exploring the reasons why various ingredients on the table were chosen and paired." Ko Pui-chun points out directly: "This book, 'Taiwan's Good Flavors,' chronicles the delicious meals she's had in Taiwan, the places she's visited, and the laughter and exclamations she's left behind. Her writing is just like her: straightforward, sharp, a bit cutting, yet deeply sincere."
