Description

To introduce Taiwan's food culture and celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office collaborates with the Freer and Sackler in welcoming foodies and cinema lovers to savor a free film and feast.

One of Taiwan's top culinary artists, chef Hou Chun-sheng, winner of the 2011 Taipei Beef Noodle Soup Competition, serves his version of beef noodle soup during a reception at the Freer, followed by a screening of Eat Drink Man Woman. Stew-style beef noodle soup (or hung shao new row mien) is a national dish in Taiwan, where it was first created. It is a must-eat for international gourmets and the perfect dish to prepare viewers for Eat Drink Man Woman—Taiwan-born director Ang Lee's food-centered film about an elderly chef and his family as they experience the trials and joys of life in modern Taiwan. Settle in and enjoy an evening of homestyle Taiwan food culture! Free and open to the public.

(Dir.: Ang Lee, USA/Taiwan, 1994, 124 min., Mandarin with English subtitles)
