1 Meter Creative Food Hall Introduction
A-Mao, the founder of Yi Meter, is Wu Yong-Mao, who has over thirty years of experience in cake and pastry making. He is a native of Su'ao, Yilan. As a child, he often accompanied his mother to deliver snacks to the fields for his father and siblings who worked in agriculture, deeply understanding the hardships of farmers. Although he later found great success running a mochi factory, upon returning to his hometown and seeing the abandoned fields, he always recalled the forlorn expressions of his parents. This prompted him to utilize the land inherited from his father to establish Yi Meter Creative Food Hall, incorporating local ingredients to promote traditional rice cake culture. Yi Meter collaborates with Hao Han Foods, which has long been dedicated to developing mochi, jellies, and innovative pastry fillings such as snowberry, San-Q cake, and grass daifuku, creating stunning mochi skins that change one's perception of mochi. Mochi that can't be consumed on the same day can be frozen, and once thawed, retains a chewy texture akin to freshly made. With Chairman Wu’s affection for the land, Yi Meter Creative Food Hall not only offers a variety of rice products and jellies but also features a tea tasting area to showcase their dedication. As if it were a gift from the heavens, during the construction of the facility, Yi Meter's engineers unexpectedly discovered a cold spring. After testing, it was confirmed to have the same composition as the cold spring in Su'ao, "Carbonic Cold Spring," with a water temperature of around 22℃. The cold spring water is rich in carbon dioxide, creating a refreshing effect on the skin. Thus, they specially designed a foot soaking pool in the natural landscape area to share this precious cold spring resource with all guests at Yi Meter. Additionally, there are DIY activities and over a thousand ping of natural landscape areas with an outdoor café; on weekends, the stage area is arranged with a variety of performances, aiming to provide visitors with a truly relaxing leisure time. Recognizing that Taiwanese people are increasingly concerned about food safety and the quality of leisure travel, A-Mao decided to return to his hometown to utilize the land left by his father and his own expertise in snack pastry development accumulated over more than thirty years. Yi Meter Creative Food Hall, located in Su'ao amidst verdant mountains and covering nearly five thousand ping, aims to create a comprehensive leisure park that integrates delicious food, culture, relaxation, and scenery.
