One Meter Creative Cuisine Introduction
The founder of One Meter Creative Culinary Museum, known as Ah Mao, is Wu Yong-Mao, who possesses over thirty years of experience in pastry and snack making. He is a native of Su'ao in Yilan. As a child, he often accompanied his mother to deliver snacks to his farming father and siblings in the fields, deeply understanding the hardships of farmers. Although he later achieved great success running a mochi factory, returning to his hometown often brings back memories of his parents' disappointed expressions when he sees abandoned farmland. This inspired him to utilize the land passed down from his father to create the One Meter Creative Culinary Museum, combining local ingredients to promote and elevate the traditional rice cake culture. In collaboration with Haohan Foods in the long-term development of mochi, jelly, and innovative pastry fillings such as Snowberry, San Q Cake, and Grass Daifuku, he has developed an impressive mochi skin that changes perceptions about mochi. Mochi that cannot be consumed on the same day can be stored in the freezer, and after defrosting, retains the same chewy texture as when freshly made. With Chairman Wu's affection for this land, the One Meter Creative Culinary Museum not only offers various rice products and jellies but also features a tea tasting area, allowing visitors to experience their dedication. As if bestowed by the heavens, during the construction of the facility, One Meter's engineering team accidentally excavated a cold spring, which, upon testing, was confirmed to have the same composition as the Su'ao Cold Spring, known as "carbonated cold spring," with a water temperature of around 22°C. The cold spring water is rich in carbon dioxide, creating delightful bubbles that gently caress the skin. Therefore, a foot-soaking pool was specially planned in the natural scenery area to share this precious cold spring resource with all guests visiting One Meter. Additionally, there are DIY activities, over a thousand ping of natural landscape area, and an outdoor coffee bar. The weekend stage is filled with diverse performance programs to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable leisure time. Noticing that Taiwanese people are increasingly concerned about food safety and the quality of leisure travel, Ah Mao decided to return home, utilizing the land left by his father and his thirty years of expertise in developing pastries and snacks. Thus, the One Meter Creative Culinary Museum was established in Su'ao, standing amidst lush green mountains and forests, covering nearly five thousand ping, creating a comprehensive leisure park that encompasses gastronomy, culture, relaxation, and landscape.
