In the old days, there were only three ways of preparing fish in the Shimen area restaurants. That is, until Mr. Chen broke the rule. He first devised the “sweet and sour” flavor, which immediately gained popularity among Shiyuan’s patrons. Since then, Mr. Chen continued to introduce new flavors and methods of live fish cooking and has taken that fine Chinese culinary art to a whole new dimension. It’s only a matter of time before Mr. Chen breaks the Guinness Book of World Records.
Shiyuan Fish Restaurant has earned countless outstanding awards; such as “sweet and sour” fish rated the best food around Taiwan by 7-Eleven. Its patrons include famous movie stars and important politicians. It has also been covered by the news media, such as Here magazine, Asia Echo, and TV food programs. Beijing Television Station China even traveled across the Taiwan Straits to produce a special program on the famed Shiyuan gourmet.
