“MUME” means plum blossom in Latin. This flower not only represents Taiwan, but is also the name of Richie’s mother. Chosen as the name of his first restaurant, it shows his passion for the land as well as the intention of passing on the traditions.

The MUME team has continued to dazzle diners with flavors materialized through refined European cooking techniques and exclusive local ingredients.

Chef Richie Lin believes that cuisine takes root in the land. To this end, he has launched a laboratory dedicated to further exploring local ingredients, innovating, as well as impressing more people with the beauty of Taiwan through MUME creations.

Located in the posh East District where great food is always at one’s fingertips, baan is a joint venture of Chef Richie Lin and Chef Ton (Thitid Tassanakajohn) from Thailand. Featuring Thai family recipes, fresh Thai spices grace all baan creations. The word “baan” means “home” in the Thai language, and it represents the chef’s hope of recreating tastes from his hometown with local Taiwanese ingredients.

From curry to different sauces, baan makes everything from scratch. With authentic dishes such as green curry featuring “Guiding chicken” and mango sticky rice with Chokanan Mango, baan has elevated a wide range of classic homemade dishes to the next level.
