The chefs of Mume in Taipei spoke at #50BestTalks in Macao.
Mume's trio of chefs, Richie Lin, Kai Ward and Long Xiong, came from three different countries to found their restaurant together in Taipei, so they are well-placed to talk about forging a culinary identity in a city that was new to them before Mume's opening in 2014. The restaurant entered the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2017 at No.43 and rose to No.18 this year, winning the Highest Climber Award.
Lin, Ward and Xiong, who hail from Hong Kong, Australia and the US respectively, spoke about discovering local ingredients in Taiwan and letting nature guide their dishes at #50BestTalks, presented by Miele and held at Wynn Macau.
