A taste of Taiwan: Formosa
When Amber Huang and fully qualified chef Don Cheng opened their Ashburton restaurant seven years ago, they had little business experience.
Today, that same restaurant boasts the kind of patronage that necessitates booking 24 hours in advance to secure a table. Formosa draws the crowds with a magnetic-like attraction, all vying to experience for themselves this unsurpassable Asian fusion cuisine.
Taiwanese food embraces a diverse range of wholesome ingredients, ensuring a well-balanced diet and significant intake of essential nutrients. “We pride ourselves on the strong symbiotic connections forged with local Canterbury suppliers.”
“Creating contemporary dishes of delicious food sourced from fresh, quality produce is a major component to our success,” Amber says. Three private dining spaces, the dining room; the Chinese Lantern room (seats 20 guests maximum), and the Red Parasol drinks area (seats 50 guests maximum), provide plenty of group booking options.
“Each dining area brings its own unique atmosphere, so whether an intimate dinner, a smaller function, a family celebration, or a large corporate event – every need is catered for.”
