These reels is a visual exploration of Wen’s modern take on Hakka tradition in Taichung.
The goal was to translate the "Hakka roots, Cantonese techniques" philosophy into a visual narrative that feels premium but still has a heartbeat. It’s a study of patience and craft, moving from raw produce to refined plates in a way that feels grounded and honest. Where heritage feels contemporary and artisanal craft takes center stage. The result is a narrative that positions the space as a refined sanctuary for "eating well," bridging historical depth and modern lifestyle together.
