A significant culinary connection between Israel and Taiwan has been established with the opening of Miznon restaurant in Taipei. Taiwan’s Representative to Israel, Ms. Ya-Ping (Avi) Lee, recently met with internationally renowned Israeli chef and culinary icon Eyal Shani for dinner in Tel Aviv to mark this milestone.
Miznon Expands to Taiwan#
Eyal Shani has built an impressive global presence with his Miznon restaurant chain, and Taipei now joins the list of cities hosting this Israeli culinary concept. The new location brings Israeli street food culture to one of Asia’s most vibrant food scenes.
Taipei is known for being an open, welcoming city that embraces diverse cultures. It is also considered one of the friendliest and safest cities in the world for Jews and Israelis, making it a natural choice for Israeli culinary expansion.
A Creative Culinary Scene#
Taiwan’s capital boasts a creative and lively culinary scene, which aligns well with Shani’s innovative approach to food. Miznon, famous for its pita-based dishes and signature roasted cauliflower, brings a distinctive Israeli flavor to Taipei’s diverse restaurant landscape.
The Taiwan in Israel office congratulated Shani on the new opening, wishing him great success and welcoming Miznon to Taipei with the traditional Chinese phrase for enjoying a meal.
This expansion represents another thread in the growing ties between Israel and Taiwan, extending beyond diplomacy and trade into the realm of food culture and gastronomy.
