Matsu Dongyin | Taili Restaurant's Creative Cuisine: Red Fermented Rice and Mussels, a Contemporary Expression of Island Ingredients

On Dongyin Island, beyond the military outposts and breathtaking ocean views, there's another place that promises to delight your taste buds: Taili Canteen.

It's not a grand, ornate restaurant, but a small, warm eatery renowned for its creative cuisine, reimagining everyday island ingredients.

Red fermented rice is the soul of Matsu. Chefs here transform it into soups, sauces, and even combine it with exotic cuisine, offering a familiar aroma with a new twist.

Mussels are transformed into creative platters, topped with herbs, cream, or wine sauces for a rich, flavorful experience. Fresh flying fish roe, sweet potato leaves, and seaweed—these common island ingredients are transformed into both local and modern delights in Taili Canteen's deft hands.

Sitting by the window, gazing at the ebb and flow of the Dongyin sea, this meal is not only a feast for the senses, but also a dialogue between island culture and the modern dining table.
