【History】

The Becoming

Chef Teng left home and started his culinary journey in Taipei city at the age of 13 as a result of poverty-stricken family. He believed that, with the skills learned at the restaurant, he at least would not starve to death if no considerable money earned. Fortunately, he was able to work his way up from dishwasher to cook, and later on, promoted as the Executive Chef/Bar Manager of a fine dining restaurant.

At age 29, he then went to Japan to study French Cuisines. Upon returning from Japan, he then moved to Kaohsiung city and started to plan for a business of his own. However, French cuisines at the time were not widely accepted. Thus, Chef Teng decided to travel to Hong Kong to study famous Chinese cooking - "Reduction-Stewing Method".

By applying his French background to the traditional Chinese cooking, he was able to open the first venue, Chef Teng, in Kaohsiung, in 1984. His critically acclaimed creations included the French Beef Noodles Soup and Stewed Pork Knuckles. Since then, the restaurant has been praised by the news medias across the globe, included the Top 66 Restaurants in Asia.

In spite of his successful career, Chef Teng continuously wants to introduce cuisines from various cultures that make the simple act of daily dining becoming the exotic adventures of the guests.
