The 2019 Taiwan Culinary Exhibition is under way.

The exhibit kicked off on Friday and features Taiwanese cuisine, culinary skills, exotic foods, and delicacies.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vice President Chen Chien-jen offered international visitors three promises about Taiwanese food.

"First, Taiwanese food is delicious. Second, Taiwanese cuisine has won international recognition. This year’s Michelin Guide Taipei not only includes starred restaurants but also recommends 58 affordable eateries. We have world-class standards whether it’s restaurant food or street food. Third, this year Taiwan has been ranked as one of the most Muslim-friendly tourist destinations among non-Muslim countries," said Chen. 

Chen said there are more than 200 halal-certified restaurants and hotels in Taiwan and that there is even an app for finding locally-made halal food.

The exhibit will run at the Taipei World Trade Center through July 29.
