"Bando", the Taiwanese word for outdoor banquets, is where specialist chefs cook up authentic Taiwanese cuisine at an outdoor venue that guests can enjoy together. Many weddings and feasts in Taiwan are held in this way.
Outdoor banquets are generally held for important occasions. Depending on the needs of the host, they can range from over a dozen people to large events with more than a thousand guests.
