We appreciate the time you are growing with us, as we share our love of the authentic homey taste.  In a foreign place, we want you to eat healthily and happily while working at your best.   We want you to treat yourself with the best, no matter how busy you become.  When you are tired, don’t forget to enjoy yourself with a cup of chicken essence; giving yourself a boost to charge in again.  For it is a healthy life that would be the greatest gift for you and your family.  We would like to share with you a story of warmth between our clients and Broth.

她失去笑容很久了,忙綠的生活,不停啼哭的新生兒、每天都有100 個問題的小學生兒子,她忘了有多久沒有好好坐下來吃頓飯、睡個飽覺,以及好好的跟先生說說話。半夜,聽著身旁先生以及兒子熟睡的呼吸聲,抱著怎麼哄仍不停大哭的嬰兒。疲憊和無力排山倒海而來。
She had lost her smile for a while. The tiring lifestyle, the piercing newborn’s cry, the ever-curious elementary son; it has been a long time since she can sit and sleep soundly, or even have a simple conversation with her husband. In the middle of night, she observed the breathing sound of both her husband and her son, while caring for the crying infant. The endless exhaustion and powerlessness washed over her.

直到有一天,不懂廚藝的先生端出了一碗她最懷念的臭豆腐粉絲湯。微微辣的口感,帶出溫醇順口的香氣。沒有記憶中巷口小吃的那麼辣及臭,但卻更嚐到湯與豆腐的美味。有她記憶中熟悉的臭味,但卻更香滑順口。她的眼眶紅了,原來不擅言詞的先生並沒有無視她的疲憊與辛苦,這一碗臭豆腐不只安慰了她的疲憊還安撫了她長期以來的挫折感,忍不住吃了個碗底朝天。
However, one day, the culinary inept husband brought out a memorable bowl of vermicelli soup with stinky tofu.  A mild spicy taste brought out a soft and salivating aroma.  It wasn’t the pungent smell and spiciness that one remembered from the alley’s street food, but the combination of soup and tofu has a hint of remembrance of the warmth she enjoyed when she was young.  Her eyes became red, as she realized the stoic husband didn’t ignore her tiredness and hardship; it was a bowl of stinky tofu that would appease her long-term fatigue, one that she would devour with haste.

「你從哪裡弄來那麼好吃的臭豆腐?」
“Where did you come up with such tasty stinky tofu?” she asked.

 

「我知道妳想念這個味道,我還買了妳最喜歡的白菜滷,牛肉湯、滷豬腳,以後想吃隨時都買的到喔,網路上也可以訂,不用出門。」
“I know you have been longing for a familiar taste, so I also bought your favorite such as braised cabbage, beef soup, and braised pork feet, so if you ever want to buy more and eat at home, we can simply order it online.”

 

「對了,我看妳最近累壞了,我還幫妳訂了滴雞精,可以迅速補充營養,對哺乳媽媽或病人最好了。」“
Also, you must have been exhausted lately, so I also ordered some chicken essence, to help you recover your energy, perfect for a breastfeeding mother like you.”

 

「妳要照顧孩子還要工作太累了,這些料理包不只營養且方便快速,我也可以幫忙妳料理喔,而且他們現在常常會有食譜教學,搞不好我煮的比妳更好吃喔!」
“You have been taking care of the children, these foods will help you get your nutrition back, and I can help you prepare them.  Broth also has a lot of recipes to learn from, perhaps someday I can cook better than you!”

她的眼眶再度濕潤了。他看見了她的需要,她的付出與辛勞….原來幸福一直都在。

Her eyes were watery, as she realized how he fulfilled her need.  Her hard work and sacrifice had been appreciated.   再以後,她會在疲倦的早晨熱上一杯滴雞精、在寒冬的晚上為家人端上香氣四溢的雞湯、在特別忙綠的時候日子使用肉燥、牛腱及滷豬腳變換美味。在特別需要充電的時候獨自吃掉一大碗臭豆腐湯、古早味白菜滷,一邊溫柔地告訴孩子每道菜對她的意義。因為記憶中愛的味道,讓她更勇敢、更寬容的面對生活中的大小挑戰,也重新找回了自己的生活步調。
Later on, she would enjoy a cup of warm chicken essence in the morning and prepare the cold night with enticing chicken broth; for the busy days she would use well-prepared braised pork and pork knuckle to create quick and healthy meals.  To recharge with her favorite taste, she would eat a big bowl of sticky tofu and braised cabbage while telling her children the meaning of each dish.  Because of the taste of the loving memory, she continued to engage every challenge life threw at her and started to create her own pace.

「我說不出來,自己為什麼會愛你,但我知道你就是我不愛別人的理由。尤其在吃了那一碗你特別為我準備的臭豆腐,很香濃又臭的很溫順,就像你對來說是獨一無二的。」她在心裡對自己說。
"I can't put it into words why I love you, but I know you are the reason why I don't love anyone else. Especially after eating that bowl of stinky tofu you specially prepared for me, it was fragrant and pungent yet gentle, just like how unique you are to me." She said to herself in her heart.

有一種味道令人念念不忘,那是記憶中家常菜的溫馨,令人魂縈夢牽。對於喜愛亞洲美食的朋友,好湯慢慢已成為一種家常菜的代名詞,承載著人與人之間的關心與溫暖。
There is a taste that will always be remembered, and that is the familiar flavor coming from home cookingFor our friends who enjoy the Asian palate, Broth has quickly become a synonym to the sense of homey taste.

七年之間好湯慢慢經歷了無數的挑戰。我們的初衷在於傳遞純粹、濃郁與鮮美的好饌。從一開始養生的滴雞精到後來各式各樣的調理包,我們堅持用高規格的食材;在追求味蕾的同時,仍完整還原食物的味道。
For seven years Broth has encountered endless challenges.  We started with the creation of a warming meal, from the nutritious chicken essence to the different set of well-prepared meal packages, using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients.

不只呵護您的健康,更連結那份家的味道,不受地域的限制。除了復刻想念的味道,好湯慢慢也盼藉著分享食譜,幫助您創造出更多的美味,將這份健康美味的心意分享出去,不管是您傳承給孩子或是家人朋友,一起打造有滋有味的美滿人生。
Not only do we look to enhance the taste bud, but we also want to highlight the natural taste of each ingredient.  We don’t just care about your health, but we want to connect it with your memory, crossing over any distance.  And we don’t just want to create a taste that mimics the hometown street food, but we also create new recipes so you can create even more homely new dishes, letting people around you experience the taste that has once filled your life with happiness.  Thank you for joining our anniversary celebration.
