VEGGIE ISLAND

Showcases the best of the best when it comes to vegetarian and vegan dining in Taiwan.

This program introduces vegetarian cuisine from all across Taiwan. From fine dining restaurants to casual dining, all-you-can-eat buffets to vegetarian workshops, dim sum to dessert shops, international fusion cuisine to Buddhist temple food, this is a journey of discovery like no other. Each episode features two locations, with 13 episodes in total. The host, Aggie Hsieh, is not a vegetarian herself, so she introduces these restaurants from the perspective of a young, curious diner who likes to try new things. With this in mind, the show invites veggie-curious viewers to discover the plant-based dining options Taiwan has to offer, and learn about local culture along the way.
