The set of 3 courses also presented Taiwanese lifestyle as Taiwanese people always took 3 side dishes in every meal. The concept of his design was all about the richness of Taiwan.
Because Taiwan was famous for flowers and fruits, Jason designed the flora outlook for passion fruit sandwich biscuit with spread of red quinoa, which was the ingredient from aborigines. White paper was the classic flavor in Taiwanese meals, so he added such the flavor to toffee black chocolate with spread of sesame and longanand melon seeds. The smoked longan and spicy white paper flavor were popular with people who didn’t like sweets. This also showed the diversity of Taiwanese culture.
