Also, live food demonstrations will be done by Chef Chang from Shin Yeh Taiwanese Restaurant, and artist PangChiu Liu will display his art mastery through calligraphy and porcelain carving work.
As entrusted by Overseas Chinese Affairs Council (OCAC), the Corporate Synergy Development Center (CSD) has invited a professional team of Taiwan Shin Yeh International Dining Group on September 28 to serve the most precious dish – “Taiwan Caviar Apple Mullet” – which can only be seen at Taiwan’s major festivals and banquets.

Come and taste it yourself.” In addition, Taiwanese high mountain-grown oolong tea and popular bubble milk tea are available for sampling.
