The Icon of Taipei Gastronomy: KiKi Restaurant

If you only have one meal to enjoy in Taipei, KiKi Restaurant is the unanimous choice for travelers worldwide. Since 1991, KiKi has redefined Sichuan cuisine by blending its signature bold, spicy flavors with a refined Taiwanese touch. Beyond its fame as a celebrity-backed establishment (notably by Shu Qi), KiKi has secured its legacy as a must-visit landmark for any gourmand exploring the heart of Taiwan.


An Addictive Harmony of Bold Textures and Flavors

KiKi’s culinary brilliance lies in the perfect execution of seemingly simple ingredients. Their legendary Braised Tofu with Egg (老皮嫩肉) features a delicately fried exterior that gives way to a center as soft and creamy as custard. To balance this, the Stir-Fried Garlic Chives with Minced Pork (蒼蠅頭) provides a spicy, savory kick that makes it the ultimate accompaniment to a bowl of steamed rice.

To round out the meal, the Pineapple Shrimp Balls—combining crispy shrimp with sweet mayo and refreshing pineapple—create a masterful "Sweet, Salty, and Spicy" equilibrium. The restaurant’s modern, chic interior and attentive service further elevate the dining experience into a special occasion. Due to its immense popularity, securing a guaranteed table through WAUG is the hallmark of a savvy traveler, allowing you to bypass the long queues and jump straight into the culinary highlight of your Taipei journey.
