Cheng Chuan-yang and Cheng Yao-yu, two visionary entrepreneurs from Taiwan, have embarked on a journey to connect cultures through cuisine. Leaving their hometown in Taiwan, the duo decided to venture into the mainland by opening an eatery in Quanzhou, a city known for its rich history and vibrant food scene.
Despite having limited knowledge about the mainland initially, their passion for food and dedication to their heritage drove them to create a unique dining experience. Their eatery quickly became a local favorite, offering a classic Taiwan snack crafted from \"grandpa's recipe.\" This signature dish not only delights customers but also serves as a symbol of their roots and the bridging of two regions.
Their success story caught the attention of CGTN's Liu Xin, who enjoyed their signature dish during a recent visit. This endorsement highlights the growing appreciation for Taiwanese culinary traditions in Quanzhou and underscores the entrepreneurs' role in fostering cross-cultural connections.
Cheng and Yao-yu's venture exemplifies how food can be a powerful medium for cultural exchange and economic growth. As they continue to expand their business, they inspire other young entrepreneurs to explore opportunities beyond their comfort zones and contribute to a more interconnected world.
