“Always treat your customers as if it’s their last time eating at your place.'
JOHOR BARU, Aug 25 — We take our first bite tentatively. We have few expectations, having been disappointed so many times before.
What’s more Taiwanese than braised minced pork rice ? HOJA Bento’s version is the Tainan Braised Minced Pork Bento which, given Tainan was a major hub of sugar production, has a subtle sweetness different from other regions of Taiwan. He recalls, “I liked my job. However, there was no time for my own self. If you do not stay at the office till late, projects can’t be completed in time. I knew very well that the life of a designer in Singapore was not how I pictured myself to be 10 or 20 years down the road.”
“I also learned from an old uncle who owns an old braised pork rice shop in Tainan. I went back to Malaysia and spent about six months to come up with the brand ‘HOJA Bento’ — hoja in Taiwanese dialect means ‘delicious’ — so you can tell from the name I am selling Taiwanese food.” Thick milk tea or nǎichá is another favourite, with or without boba pearls. For non-dairy lovers of Taiwanese teas, the Oriental Beauty Red Tea is an absolute thirst quencher.
