I learned cooking from my dad

He's a really picky person with food

He always shopped the most fresh ingredients from the morning market

I go to the morning market very very early

Usually before 7:30 am

I go there to buy vegetables and fruit

For example, I buy fresh shiitake mushrooms

before it gets sweaty in the hot sun

I enjoy talking to the shop owners

street vendors

in the morning market

They're my old friends!

And they're part of my life

My guests come from all over the world

They come from the US, Europe, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong...

I love to share my passion with them

Especially, I love to learn from them

I enjoy cooking Taiwanese family food

When I'm cooking, I connect to many things

The ingredients

The memory

The relationship of my family

I see their faces

I feel my identity

Being an Insider allows me to connect with people

At the end of the day, when I see my guests' happy faces

We really enjoy the day

I feel...what a wonderful world
