Tai-Sen Restaurant

Tai-Sen Restaurant Authentic Hakka flavours rooted in family legacy. 45+ years of craft, culture, and Kolkata’s iconic Chinese heritage—served with heart. This is our identity.

Tai Sen is more than a restaurant—it is the journey of a family carried across borders, kept alive through memory, and served with heart. Our story begins in the Hakka villages of China, where food was more than nourishment; it was survival, tradition, and togetherness. Generations later, that same spirit travelled to Kolkata’s Tangra, where our family built a new life while holding tightly to old

flavours. Named in honour of our grandfather Tai Sen (泰生), this kitchen represents the resilience of those who came before us. Every dish embodies his story: humble beginnings, relentless hard work, and an unbroken bond with heritage. With 45+ years of culinary mastery, our father (Chef Edwin) continues the legacy—crafting dishes rooted in tradition, shaped by Kolkata, and refined through experience. At Tai Sen, we serve not just food, but culture, memory, and a family’s journey across generations. Our pride. This is Tai Sen

Before restaurants, there were Tulou, where cooking together was a way of life.

In a time before restaurants, families lived and cooked within shared circles designed for unity and protection. Meals were prepared together, eaten together, and remembered together. Food was shaped by necessity, discipline, and care — values that continue to define how we cook today.

Grandmother Liao — The Hands That Shaped Our Kitchen

Before the woks, before the recipes, before the restaurant —
there were her hands.

My grandmother cooked with patience, instinct, and a kind of quiet love that turned simple ingredients into comfort.
She never called herself a chef, yet her kitchen carried the spirit of everything we cherish today.

It was here that my father first learned what food truly means —
not just flavor, but discipline, care, and responsibility.

Her touch shaped our family.
Her passion shaped our cooking.
And her legacy lives in every bowl we serve.

Chef Edwin — 45 Years Behind the Wok

Forty-five years of discipline and fire.
A lifetime of dedication that shaped our flavor.
From long nights in busy kitchens to the quiet rhythm of the early morning wok,
Chef Edwin has carried his craft with patience, precision, and unwavering heart.
His hands have perfected the heat,
his experience defines our taste,
and his journey is woven into every dish we serve.
Every plate at Tai Sen carries the warmth of his mastery —
a legacy built one flame at a time.

廖泰生 — Grandfather Liao Tai Sen
A Tribute to Our Beginning

We honor the man whose values built the foundation of our family.
He lived with quiet strength and unwavering dedication to those he loved.
He never cooked for a living,
yet his principles shaped the lives that now shape our kitchen.

With this incense tribute, and a cherished photo of him with our grandmother,
we remember the honesty, humility, and heritage he passed down to us.
His name above our doors is more than a sign —
it is a promise to uphold the legacy he began.
