Taiwanese contemporary
After graduating from culinary school, the owner-chef honed his skills in different places before opening huist (Dutch for "home") in 2023. His prix-fixe menu is inspired by Taiwanese cooking, finessed by Western techniques and has lots of home-style touches: appetising raw scallops marinated in chilli garlic kombu soy; smoked marlin in sugar rub with sliced chicken comb sandwiched between the silky fish for contrasting textures.

MICHELIN Guide Taiwan 2024 Young Chef Award: Tim Chen —Nurtured by Taiwan, Delivering the Taste of Home
The concept of huist is rooted in Chef Tim Chen’s warm memories of growing up in a large family and the tastes of his grandmother’s cooking. It also stems from his reflections on the post-pandemic dining market, where he boldly sought to offer something different. Here, he aims to deliver heartwarming dishes inspired by home-cooked Taiwanese flavours, with a touch of romanticized ritual.
