  • Meet the woman behind A-Pou's Taste, the famous Taiwanese pot sticker food truck and restaurant in NYC. Yeh Chi Yao named her business after the Taiwanese word "a pou," meaning "old lady," sharing her belief that more life experience makes for better, tastier food. Since introducing Taiwanese street food to the scene 15 years ago, A-Pou's Taste hasn't slowed down, producing over 1,000 pot stickers every day.

    As a musician and a loyal customer for two years who rehearses at a studio nearby, this is a go-to cafeteria for all of us, and a-pou remembers all of our names every time. She is the real deal!

      @someusername4129 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      That's exactly why that type of worker isn't in large corporations. Large corporations squash joy from their workers. They don't want them too happy or too angry.

    Her story is literally what America is all about.
    She immigrated to America in the 80's, saw that there was a lack of something different to eat, so she decided to share what she knows with America.
    America is not a melting pot, it's a salad. In a melting pot, all the flavors meld together and the whole bowl tastes the same without uniqueness. But, in a salad you can taste each individual ingredient and when you get a bite of everything, the flavors together make something unique
    If you're a foreigner living in America, I hope you have as much joy sharing your culture with everyone you meet as this lady does.
