A-Chiao's Rice Noodle Porridge Introduction
A Qiao's Rice Pudding is a dish named after the owner's daughter "A Qiao," serving as an outlet for recalling family ties, cherishing friendships, and continuing emotional connections. It is also a new brand from the fourth generation of the family-run bowl rice pudding eatery. The couple blends their life experiences through steaming, boiling, frying, and braising to create this warm bowl of rice pudding. The inspiration for the A Qiao's Rice Pudding brand comes from the nostalgia of the owner's mother for her late brother, the father's fond memories of friendships with bowl design director Peng Xi-zhi, and the tradition preserved by their daughter, A Qiao. In 2014 and 2015, the owner's maternal uncle, who was also the father's culinary mentor, and bowl designer Peng Xi-zhi passed away. When people who live together suddenly disappear, a sense of loss overwhelms. The father connects familial and friendly ties through his life experiences, pouring the knowledge acquired over the past decade into a traditional dish that encapsulates Tainan's warmth, using local bowls to serve the rice pudding. This not only preserves the century-old family recipe but also honors the Hakka spirit of Professor Peng Xi-zhi. Using their daughter's name "Qiao" to connect family and friendship, the birth of "A Qiao's Rice Pudding" comes into being.
