What started as a leap of faith has turned into a mouthwatering journey for Cheng Chuan-yang and Cheng Yao-yu. The duo, originally from the island of Taiwan, swapped their hometown for Quanzhou on the Chinese mainland to open a cozy eatery inspired by their grandfather’s secret recipes. 🥢
Their signature dish? A nostalgic Taiwan snack passed down through generations, blending bold flavors and family tradition. CGTN’s Liu Xin recently got a taste of their story—and the saucy noodles—during an interview that highlighted how food can connect communities across the Taiwan Strait.
📌 “We wanted to share a piece of home,” said Cheng Yao-yu, stirring a pot of simmering broth. “Grandpa’s recipes aren’t just about taste—they’re about memories.”
For young professionals and travelers eyeing cross-strait culture, this eatery is more than a business—it’s a reminder that heritage and innovation can simmer side by side. 🧑🍳✨
