|Company profile|
Fried dumplings are a common delicacy in Taiwan, while Japanese ramen has also been popular in Taiwan for a long time. However, the Japanese habit of ordering fried dumplings at a ramen store has not yet caught on in Taiwan. Mercuries F&B saw the potential in this trend and set up Tiger Dumplings in 2020, offering the fried combination of dumpling and ramen so that consumers may experience Japanese dining culture at affordable prices.
Tiger Dumplings is a vibrant community styled fried dumpling and ramen brand. Its first store is located in the bustling Xinyi Shopping District of Taipei, offering Japanese mains for NT$100.
The vision of Tiger Dumplings is to pass on Japanese dining culture across various cities and townships in Taiwan and become a fast-food paradise well loved by all the community. Its business strategy is to establish a business model that can be profitable even with small
investments. Crispy fried dumplings for NT$50, cheap vegetable ramen for NT$100, and frozen fried chicken for NT$50 yuan are all differentiated specialty products offered by Tiger Dumplings. The head chef of Tiger Dumplings personally visited Japan and learned his skills from an old Japanese ramen store and spent over a year in developing flavors to create simple and authentic fried leek dumplings tailored for Taiwanese customers. Japanese fried dumplings are usually eaten as a side dish along
with a main. This is a feature of crispy fried dumplings at Tiger
Dumplings that sets it apart from the Taiwan fried dumpling market. The vegetable ramen at Tiger Dumplings is authentic Kanto ramen made from techniques acquired from the 50-year-old Japanese ramen store Manhokutei.
The ramen features vegetables stir-fried over high heat and kombu chicken bone broth cooked in a Chinese wok. You can enjoy Japanese ramen in a soup base exuding the aroma released from a Chinese wok. The vegetable soy sauce ramen at Tiger Dumplings can supplement dietary fiber and is highly recommended for the modern healthconscious.
The“ Tiger Chicken”, a dish of fried chicken wings dipped in a Japanese sweet and salty sauce, is the secret weapon of Tiger Dumplings. The Tiger Chicken is frozen at -18°C and can be eaten as a side dish along with fried dumplings or ramen, and is also a good choice to go with beer. In Japan, it is a popular choice as a souvenir gifted to one another.
