Don't let the minimalist decor fool you: Taipei Chef packs a punch. Located in an Artarmon side street, this Taiwanese restaurant pours attention into what matters: the food. Soft-shell crab, diced into small pieces and coated in salt and pepper, is a refreshing take on an Asian classic. Freshly made prawn dumplings have a beautiful sweetness and burst with flavour, while kong bao q eggs - eggs marinated and then fried, served with fresh shallots and chunks of ginger - is simply stunning. The secret might be out; this local gem fills quickly on weeknights and with BYO, it's a place you'll want to keep coming back to.
