Wanwen Food Tourism Factory Introduction
Founded in Taichung City's First Market, Wanwen Food has been a local brand that has thrived for nearly 70 years and has undergone three generations of inheritance. It is now a representative of local souvenirs in Taichung. With over half a century of skill inheritance, Wanwen carefully selects large white marlin, opting for sashimi-grade parts, stir-fried with exclusive homemade lard. Using simple natural ingredients and unique production methods, they create the renowned golden flakes of marlin floss. The classics are revived through re-creation, showcasing the charm of the old brand once again. In addition to its loyal old customers, Wanwen has enhanced brand recognition and favorability to expand its consumer market. They hope to attract young and urban consumers with government support, broadening the local brand's reach internationally, allowing more people to recognize the high-quality marlin floss and Wanwen itself. In recent years, they established a sightseeing factory, which officially opened on January 1, 2021, as an expansion of the original Dali factory. Among the offerings, the DIY fish ball activity is particularly popular among young parents. In just 20 minutes of guided tour, visitors can learn about the production process of marlin floss and fish balls through the guide's explanation. Following that is the fish ball DIY, where professional chefs personally help children create their first fish ball. During this process, the chefs demonstrate the correct gestures for squeezing fish balls, ensuring that the fish balls maintain a certain elasticity, allowing them to taste the "QQ texture" of the fish balls. Of course, participants can also unleash their creativity, making various shapes of fish balls and sharing their creative fish balls with each other, leaving behind joyful memories.
