Lan May, Taste of Taiwan

Lan May, located at 1373 Portage Avenue, is a great spot for anyone seeking asian flavour that transcends the ordinary.  The Taiwanese flavours are sometimes bold and sometimes subtle, but every dish was cooked to perfection, the veggies still crisp and the meat tender and sumptuous.

The attention to detail was evident, the julienne vegetables, perfect matchsticks.

The chicken was as tender as could be, with a slightly sweet, tangy and spicy sauce.

I highly recommend a trip to Lan May for a unique, affordable and delicious meal.

On the topic of chicken stock, here is a great video for anyone who wants to learn how to do it right. People complain that it is long and too talky, but he explains the fundamentals and goes through all the right steps to get a properly clear white chicken stock. Well worth the ten minutes if you want to do it right.
