Cuisines in Taiwan (Chinese: 臺灣菜) have several variations. In addition to the following representative dishes from the Hoklo (Hō-ló) ethnicity (see Taiwanese language), there are also aboriginal, Hakka, and local derivatives of Chinese cuisines (one famous example of the last is beef noodle soup). In Taiwan, many of the diverse cuisines from the different parts of China converge.
Taiwanese cuisine itself is often associated with influences from mid to southern provences of China (Canton, Fujian, etc.. due to proximity) along with Japan (due to historical occupation). Traditional Chinese food to be found in Taiwan, alongside Taiwanese and Hakka-style dishes, includes dishes from Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Hunan, Sichuan and Beijing.
