Description of Our Community: Taipei City, located in the north top of Taiwan, is a big city with 2,620,000 populations. The city has been set up for 120 years. The industry and commerce in Taipei has been highly developed. It is an important center of culture, economy and politics in Taiwan, too. Being a progressive international city, Taipei’s economy is flourishing, and business activities are all inclusive. It’s an international city and attracts a great deal of tourists to come a tour every year. Hotels and restaurants are standing in great numbers. The local delicacies are all over the city. Especially, the outdoor banquet is one of Taiwan’s famous food culture. Although the outdoor banquet in Taipei, a highly developed city, has declined gradually, there are a lot of head chefs working and passing down the career of the outdoor banquet as the heritage of food culture. Fortunately, the government now is promoting the culture of the outdoor banquet and making a sprint elevate the value of Taiwan’s sightseeing.
Project Description: In the closing ceremony of “2009 Deaf Olympics in Taipei”, the organizer treated contestants to the outdoor banquet. It was a successful party. All of the participants enjoyed the good food and wonderful atmosphere. It was impressive and evoked us to explore the history of the outdoor banquet in Taiwan. In the research, we focused on exploring the historical origins, the etiquette, and the customs of the outdoor banquet. We interviewed the famous chefs of the outdoor banquet and Tourism Bureau who told us how to promote the outdoor banquet as the product of sightseeing. The purposes of the research were to evoke people to recognize the food culture in Taiwan and to show the rich and passion of Taiwanese through the way of the outdoor banquet.
