Taiwan uses a unique 'fraction' (fēn shú) doneness system — 3/10, 5/10, 7/10, fully cooked. Wǔ fēn shú (5/10) is the most common steakhouse request, equivalent to Medium-Rare. This system is shared with mainland China and differs from the phonetic English borrows used in Japan and Korea.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
