Mexican Festival at Grand Formosa Regent Taipei (Slide Show)
〈Rambo, Taipei〉Who says summer cuisine can only be light and cooling? Zesty spices can excite the taste buds and the appetite even more in the sizzling heat of the summer. June 21 to July 1, Grand Formosa Regent Taipei works in conjunction with Mexican Trade Services to present the Mexican Festival at azie and Brasserie (1F), with exotic Mexican cuisine that is the embodiment of sunshine, passion, and fun. During the promotion, guests can savor dozens of authentic Mexican dishes plus live performances by the Mariachi without leaving the city!
Mexican cuisine is known for its intense and varied flavors, colorful decoration, and variety of spices. Mexican gastronomy is one of the richest in the world: both with respect to diverse and appealing tastes and textures; and in terms of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Some people consider Mexican cuisine to be the second most varied and vast in the world after Chinese cuisine. When Spanish conquistadores arrived in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, they found that the people's diet consisted largely of corn-based dishes with chilies and herbs, usually complemented with beans and squash. The conquistadores eventually combined their imported diet of rice, beef, pork, chicken, wine, garlic and onions with the indigenous foods of pre-Columbian Mexico, including chocolate, maize, tomato, vanilla, avocado, papaya, pineapple, chili pepper, beans, squash, sweet potato, peanut and turkey.
For the Mexican Festival, Mrs. Arceo of the Mexican Trade Services has helped Grand Formosa Regent Taipei’s Culinary Director Joachim Felber in the creation of dozens of dishes utilizing the above ingredients. At azie, guests will find appetizers like Guacamole Dip & Chips, Nachos with Jalapeno Peppers & Salsa Rachera, Ceviche Acapulco, which is seafood marinated in lemon and lime with jalapeno chilies, fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, avocado and cilantro, Sincronizada Rancheras, which is a large flour tortilla filled with cheese, bacon and ham grilled to golden brown and served with avocado, sour cream and ranchera sauce, and Taquitos Mexicanos. Salad choices include Taco Salad and Mexican Dinner Salad with olives, fresh tomatoes, red bell pepper, avocado, Monterey jack cheese, sweet corn and avocado with homemade Caesar dressing on a bed of romaine lettuce. Soups include Sopa de Tortilla and the traditional Sopa de Pescado fish soup. As for especialidades, choose from Mole Colorado de Pollo, roasted boneless chicken berast with red mole and served with soft tortillas and steamed rice, Enchiladas Verdes, three soft corn tortillas filled, rolled, and baked choice of meat and green tomato sauce, or Tampiquena Barbecued Beef with corn tortilla, lettuce guacamole, refried black beans. Also on the menu are Huachinango a la Veracruzana, baked baby red snapper with a veracruzan tomato sauce, Camarones a la Tequila, large shrimps flamed with tequila and simmered in a spicy chili sauce with onions, and Pizza Mexicana. As for dessert, there is the Mexican Caramel from Coronado, Bunelos, with is deep-fried flour tortilla with dried fruit and cinnamon custard, Churros with saffron, cinnamon and Mexican coffee ice cream, Atole de Fresa, Gelatine de Rompope, Crepas de Cajeta, which is caramel layered homemade crepe cake with orange sorbet, and Tequila Espuma.
Various delectable Mexican dishes can also be found at Brasserie, the festival buffet restaurant adjacent to azie, such as Spicy Ceviche with Avocados, a self-help Taco Bar, Mexican Barbecue Section, Red Snapper a la Veracruzana, Enchiladas Verde, Chili-rubbed Back Rib with Espresso Barbecue Sauce, Gelatin de Rompope, a rum gelatin, Arroz con Leche, or rice pudding with cinnamon, Chimichangas, or deep fried tortilla, Atole de Fresa, strawberry soup, Churros, and Sopaipillas, which are deep-fried pineapples.
