Our Story
Heading 6
From a taste of home → to a USDA-certified factory → to a food truck loved across Minnesota.
A Journey That Started With Homesickness
We are a Taiwanese couple who moved to the United States after graduation and eventually settled in Minnesota.
But soon we discovered something shocking — this place we now called home was a “Taiwanese food desert.”
The flavors we grew up with simply didn’t exist here, especially the one we missed most: traditional Taiwanese sausage.
An Unexpected Beginning: A Hotel Kitchen
Our journey began not in a professional kitchen, but in the most unexpected place —
a tiny hotel kitchenette, where we stayed temporarily due to severe water damage in our home.
With nothing more than a household KitchenAid mixer, limited space, and a big craving for Taiwanese food,
we started grinding meat, mixing spices, and hand-stuffing sausages.
What began as preparation for the ROC Centennial Celebration slowly became something much bigger.
That cramped hotel kitchen became the birthplace of the very first batch of our Taiwanese sausages.
Chasing the True Taste of Taiwan
We spent countless late nights testing recipes, adjusting ingredients, and tasting batch after batch.
We weren’t just trying to make sausage — we were trying to recreate a memory, a feeling, a flavor of home.
After endless experiments, we finally crafted a sausage that captured the true, traditional Taiwanese taste —
a flavor even more authentic than many modern versions in Taiwan today.
Encouraged by friends, colleagues, and local taste testers, we expanded our flavors and styles,
inventing products that honored tradition while embracing creativity.
Two Public-Servant Kids, Building a USDA Factory in America
Starting a business in the U.S. as two people from public-servant families was a challenge beyond imagination.
Every step — choosing a location, renovating the facility, navigating federal food regulations, and obtaining a USDA license — was completely unfamiliar territory.
We stumbled, learned, and kept moving forward. What began as a part-time passion quickly turned into a full-time mission.
Bringing Taiwanese Flavor to Minnesota
To introduce Taiwanese sausages to the Midwest — a region famous for its conservative palate — we joined local events, fairs, and festivals, sharing our flavors one sample at a time.
The response was overwhelming. People loved it. They came back for more. They brought their friends.
And in 2025, we took a bold new step — we purchased our first Taiwanese street food truck, offering not only our signature sausages but also a variety of Taiwanese snacks. The food truck was warmly welcomed and quickly became a favorite at Minnesota events.
Our Dream for the Future
Our dream is simple yet powerful:
To let more people across America fall in love with Taiwanese sausages, and one day bring “Taiwanese Sausage” into major supermarkets nationwide.
This is more than a product. It’s our heritage, our identity, and our way of sharing Taiwan with the world.
我們的故事
從思鄉的味道 → 到 USDA 聯邦檢驗工廠 → 再到明州人氣餐車。
一切從想念家鄉開始
我們是一對台灣夫妻，畢業後來到美國，最後選擇在明尼蘇達州落地生根。
很快我們發現，這裡竟是一片 「台灣美食沙漠」。
想吃到家鄉味，尤其是最懷念的 台灣香腸，幾乎是不可能的事。
意外的起點：飯店小廚房
我們的創業故事，並不是從專業廚房開始，而是從一間 因家中漏水被迫入住的飯店小廚房 開啟。
在那個空間不足、設備簡陋的臨時廚房，靠著一台普通的 家用 KitchenAid，
我們開始絞肉、調味、灌腸。
原本只是為了準備 中華民國百年慶祝活動 的餐點，卻不知不覺中，走上了一條全新的道路。那間飯店的小廚房，成為了第一批台灣香腸的誕生地。
追尋記憶中的台灣味
無數個深夜，我們反覆調整配方、測試產品、記錄味道。我們追尋的不是食譜，而是 記憶中的味道 —
那份記憶裡最道地、最令人懷念的台灣香腸。
經過無數次的實驗，我們終於做出屬於自己的台灣香腸：比台灣市面上許多版本更接近傳統本味。
在親友、同事與試吃者的鼓勵下，我們逐漸開發更多風味與產品形式，讓台灣香腸的表現更加多樣。
兩個公務員家庭的孩子，在美國打造 USDA 工廠
對於來自公務員家庭的我們，要在美國創業是一條從零開始的艱難道路。
從選址、裝修、到取得聯邦食品證照，每一步都充滿 unfamiliarity 與困難。
我們跌跌撞撞、邊學邊做，從半兼職一路做到全職。
把台灣味帶進明尼蘇達
為了讓保守的美國中西部人認識台灣香腸，我們積極參與明州各大活動、展會與節慶，讓更多人品嚐到這份台灣味。
大家的反應比我們想像的更熱烈。有人現場回購、有人帶朋友來試吃、有人驚呼 “I’ve never tasted anything like this!”
而在 2025 年，我們更購置了第一台 台灣小吃餐車，加入更多台灣經典小吃，深受當地居民喜愛。
未來的夢想
我們的夢想很簡單：
希望更多美國人認識台灣香腸的美味，並在未來把「台灣香腸」帶進全美各大超市。
這不只是一份產品，而是一份文化、一份記憶、也是我們將台灣味道帶向世界的方式。
