“Crisp-tender cilantro-garlic chicken and fruity sea bass give 晨照 a clear reason for a short detour. The chef returned to Qiaotou to care for his grandmother and develops Taiwanese flavors with local farm and seafood ingredients, suiting couples or small groups seeking quiet, light creative cooking.”

WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Crisp chicken finished with herbal garlic

Pan-Seared Garlic Chicken Thigh with Cilantro-Garlic Sauce has thin crisp skin, juicy meat, rich non-pungent garlic, and a fresh herbal finish balanced by vegetables.

02
The gentle comfort of cabbage-clam chicken soup

Cabbage sweetness and clam savoriness enter chicken soup with mushrooms. Clear and gentle, it rests the palate between seared chicken and sweet-tart fish.

03
A small residential-space view of the kitchen

Set among townhouses, two- and four-person tables plus a counter form a quiet room close enough to watch the chef work.

THE STORY

The story behind this place

Opening in Qiaotou for his grandmother

Founder-chef Chiu Chi-hsun opened in his hometown Qiaotou partly to care for the grandmother who raised him; the name also echoes hers. Repeated family dishes became his creative starting point, extending care for family to guests through reworked familiar flavors.

Pan-Seared Garlic Chicken Thigh with Cilantro-Garlic Sauce

Golden thin-crisp skin gives way to juicy chicken. Rich but gentle garlic and a fresh cilantro finish meet seasonal vegetables for seared aroma, meat juices, and freshness.

Pineapple Sea Bass MetroBites visit photo

Pineapple Sea Bass

Sweet-tart pineapple sauce lifts sea bass without hiding its savoriness. Quinoa rice, scallion-oil chicken, and seasonal vegetables add varied tender and crisp textures.

Handmade Cheesecake MetroBites visit photo

Handmade Cheesecake

Hokkaido Tokachi and Philadelphia cream cheeses make a square, burnished, smooth cake over a thin crisp biscuit base. Rich dairy, fine acidity, and fruit finish the meal.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Renewing Taiwanese flavor with local produce and seafood

晨照 places home cooking among seasonal farm and seafood ingredients. The chef has used Qiaotou basil, Yanchao produce, and Keziliao seafood to renew familiar Taiwanese flavors and reconnect the table with nearby producers.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Move from fruity fish to garlic chicken

When sharing chicken and fish, start with the light pineapple sea bass, then the cilantro-garlic chicken, with cabbage-clam chicken soup between them to separate fruit acidity, garlic, and savory sweetness.

● Pineapple Sea Bass

Sweet-tart pineapple sauce opens the palate without masking the bass. Quinoa rice, scallion-oil chicken, and seasonal vegetables move from delicate fish and soft rice to crisp leaves, linked by fruity acidity.

● Cabbage-Clam Chicken Soup

Clear soup draws sweetness from cabbage, clams, and chicken, with shells, tender leaves, and mushrooms visible. Warm and light, it returns the palate to calm after seared chicken or fruity fish.

Uncle's line: home flavor need not be copied unchanged; if the caring remains, new plating still feels familiar.
