My Kitchen is a Taiwanese restaurant at 59/11 Gill Street in central New Plymouth, holding a 3.7 rating from 21 Google reviews. Taiwanese cooking is built on rice and noodles layered with slow-braised meats and punchy seasoning, and a kitchen is usually judged first on its beef noodle soup, with its deep star-anise-scented broth and tender braised beef. Dishes like three-cup chicken and lu rou fan, braised pork over rice, show whether a kitchen can balance sweet, savoury and herbal notes, while scallion pancakes and dumplings make good sharing plates. Regulars tend to trust busy tables and Mandarin chatter over a slick fit-out, since the surest sign of a good Taiwanese restaurant is food that satisfies people who grew up on it. Right in the city centre on Gill Street, My Kitchen gives New Plymouth its own taste of Taiwan.
