Standouts include the five spices salty pork, deep fried king oyster mushrooms, golden prawns and vermicelli noodles and sizzling black pepper beef. But it’s their chicken in sanbei sauce, crispy pork hock and deep fried chicken with pepper and salt that prove to be the signature pieces. Glamorous Wok also has an impressive selection of vegetarian dishes like their stir-fried green and black beans, cellophane noodles with spicy beans and bean curd hot plate. 

Need to quench your thirst? The restaurant has more than forty different drinks but many visit for their bubble tea with chewy pearls, floral tea and traditional Taiwanese juices like their winter melon and starfruit juice.

The culinary philosophy in Taiwan is to eat often and eat well, so give your lazy susan a workout and order a feast of multiple dishes to share.
