One Meter Creative Cuisine Introduction
The founder of 1 Meter Creative Restaurant, known as Ah-Mao, is Wu Yong-Mao, who has over 30 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 father and siblings working in the fields, deeply experiencing the hardships of farming. Although he later achieved great success operating a mochi factory, returning to his hometown and seeing the abandoned fields always reminded him of his parents' disappointed expressions. Therefore, he decided to use the land passed down from his father to create 1 Meter Creative Restaurant, integrating local ingredients to promote the traditional culture of rice-based pastries. Combining with Hao-Han Food, which has been developing mochi and jelly for a long time, they have also developed many innovative fillings such as snow pear cakes, San-Q cakes, and grass daifuku through baking techniques, resulting in stunning mochi skins that will change your perception of mochi. Mochi that cannot be consumed on the same day can be stored in the freezer, and after thawing, it retains the same chewy texture as when freshly made. With Chairman Wu's emotional connection to this land, 1 Meter Creative Restaurant provides various rice products, jellies, and snacks, and features a tea tasting area to reflect their dedication. It seems to be a gift from heaven that during the construction of the factory, the staff at 1 Meter unexpectedly discovered a cold spring. After testing, it was confirmed to have the same composition as the cold springs in Su'ao, specifically "carbonated cold spring" water, with a temperature of around 22°C. This cold spring water is rich in carbon dioxide, and the refreshing bubbles "patter" against the skin. Therefore, a foot bath pool was specifically planned in the natural landscape area to share this precious cold spring resource with all guests at 1 Meter. There are also DIY activities on site, with over a thousand square meters of natural landscape area and an outdoor café; on weekends and holidays, a stage area is arranged with rich performance programs to ensure you enjoy an incredibly relaxing leisure time. With a growing focus among Taiwanese people on food safety issues and the quality of leisure travel, Ah-Mao decided to return to his hometown using the land left by his father and his expertise in developing snacks and pastries over the past 30 years to establish 1 Meter Creative Restaurant in Su'ao. Nestled among lush green mountains and covering nearly 5,000 ping, it aims to create a comprehensive leisure park with food, culture, recreation, and scenery.
