She introduced ready-to-eat canned goods and flavored butter that are rich in local Taiwanese flavors, aiming to provide more choices in the future food market. Her endeavor seeks to bring people diverse taste memories; while enjoying these canned products, consumers can not only reminisce about the familiar flavors of their childhood but also savor the spirit and innovative ideas of a new generation of culinary creators.
When asked about the motivation behind launching the preserved food brand "LOUU," food designer Chen Hsiao-man shared that the idea had been brewing in her mind for several years. Majoring in architecture in college, she not only acquired professional knowledge in design and construction but also experienced a significant shift in how she perceives things. "Throughout my education, we were constantly reminded of our social responsibilities." As a result, the relationship between people and society became a topic she continuously contemplated.
During her studies at a food design institute in Milan, Chen was exposed to numerous social issues related to food, such as food waste, inequitable food distribution, and social class disparities in diets. The most shocking revelation for her was the issue of food waste, which prompted her to think about whether there were ways to extend the shelf life of food.
