PPG unveils Plaza Premium Lounge at Taipei Songshan
Plaza Premium Lounge at Taipei Songshan Airport
Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has unveiled its fifth Plaza Premium Lounge in Taiwan at Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA). This space invites travellers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Taiwanese culture, featuring a blend of signature culinary delights and award-winning art. As the only independent lounge at TSA, it offers a welcoming oasis for all travellers, accessible through a nominal fee or complimentary entry with designated credit cards. Since its debut in Taiwan in 2016, Plaza Premium Group has expanded its footprint with four additional lounges at Taipei Taoyuan Airport.
The dining options in the lounge include a buffet area offering a variety of made-to-order Taiwanese culinary delights, including the highly acclaimed Taiwanese shacha beef noodles, a flavorful fusion dish that combines tender beef, chewy noodles and the umami-rich shacha sauce, which is a Taiwanese culinary staple with roots in Chaoshan (Teochew) cuisine and has evolved into a beloved staple of Taiwanese culinary culture. A quintessential comfort dish is the Taiwanese braised pork rice. This bowl features succulent pieces of pork belly, braised in a rich, savory sauce that melds the flavours of soy sauce, star anise and garlic served with pickled mustard greens. Another local speciality is the Taiwanese hotdog, a popular snack that features a charcoal-grilled pork sausage nestled inside a glutinous rice sausage.
A staple to locals is the traditional bamboo rice which is indigenous to Taiwan, featuring glutinous rice, meticulously prepared and cooked within the hollow sections of fresh bamboo, imparting a unique fragrance and flavour. The Taiwanese rice noodle soup is also a classic dish to experience. Additionally, vegetarians can enjoy a diverse selection of delicious dishes, allowing every traveller to experience Taiwan's unique culinary culture.
Travellers can enjoy the lounge's Art Gallery, featuring works by acclaimed Taiwanese artist Yi Shuan WU. Her award-winning pieces not only reflect Taiwan's artistic spirit but also enhance the lounge's ambiance. Wu has created exclusive artworks inspired by local Taiwanese elements for this collaboration, enriching the lounge's cultural atmosphere.
Beyond its culinary and artistic offerings, the Plaza Premium Lounge at Taipei Songshan Airport has a stylish interior designed for relaxation. With ample comfortable seating and a free internet zone, guests can easily stay connected while traveling. For added privacy, VIP rooms are available for pre-booking, ensuring bespoke services for banking clients and those seeking a quieter space.
