"Wan Li Xiang Fusion Restaurant with Menu-Free Dining" - Yang Xin-Yi & Huang Shu-Yun
Huang Shu-Yun, responsible for her family’s daily meals, has impressed her family with her unique culinary skills and approach to ingredients. During a family gathering, her daughter Yang Xin-Yi proposed the idea of opening a restaurant, sparking a mother-daughter venture. With her family’s support, Shu-Yun acquired her Chinese cooking certification and prepared for the restaurant’s operation through the Dream-Building Program. 

Their restaurant, "Wan Li Xiang," specializes in menu-free dining, focusing on fresh ingredients and a unique dining experience. They also developed vacuum-packed creative dishes, allowing customers to enjoy their cuisine at home. Wan Li Xiang not only satisfies the appetites of its patrons but also fulfills Shu-Yun’s dream of entrepreneurship. She intends to continue refining her craft, bringing even more culinary joy to diners.
