Danny, Pun\u2019s Food owner, was not a big fan of Taiwanese cuisine before. Two years ago, although he survived a nearly-deadly car accident, the wounds he suffered made it difficult for him to pull himself together. Not long after that, his uncle advised him to travel to Taiwan for a break \u2013 never had he thought it would lead to a turning point in his life. During the trip, Danny was invited to his Taiwanese friends\u2019 home for a meal. Even with no expensive and luxurious ingredients on the table \u2013 just some authentic home-cooked dishes like braised pork rice and beef noodles, this wounded soul was deeply impressed. \u2018When I saw everyone cheerfully sharing the food on the table, those dishes seemed to have become our connection, creating a magical atmosphere which moves my heart in an indescribable manner,\u2019 he recalled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

He believes food should e shared to create a joyful atmosphere. These days, many restaurants would provide customers with WiFi connection, but Danny wants his customers to put down the phones and savour their \u2018offline\u2019 dining moments more. Sitting inside this restaurant with a comfy interior design, apart from pots of plants, you can see decorations related to boats. \u2018To me, boats are romantic,\u2019 Danny said. Perhaps whenever you set sail, you can always get something from the sea but will also let go of something at the same time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Danny values his customers\u2019 comments a lot. Besides selecting high-quality ingredients, sometimes he would also clean the tables and serve the dishes. He would try to get customers\u2019 feedback about the food from their chit-chat as well \u2013 what a \u2018down-to-earth\u2019 owner. \u2018While others may focus on money, I focus more on value. Things will be of value when you put your heart and soul into it,\u2019 he held.<\/p>

After that Taiwan trip, Danny broke free from his wounds and has reconnected with the world. In less than a month since the restaurant\u2019s opening, he bumped into many long-lost friends there \u2013 even his secondary school teacher after more than 20 years. It dawned upon Danny that life can by quite amazing. If you believe there are \u2018fateful coincidences\u2019 in the world, then \u2018all encounters in life may just be reunions after a long time\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
