As a child, he could stay at home and keep them home in the kitchen and watch Julia’s child or Martha Stewart, or watching the “Tinker” in the kitchen said. Then, his parents would clean them all before they came home.
“I really struggled in school because I had a hard time paying attention … I was really Rowdy and I was a problem” CNBC to do this. “I fought to watch the directions. If I didn’t understand it, I would try to make it a meaningful way for me, but I always felt like I was reprimanded.”
Although he was born in the United States, he reminded that an ESL in the fifth grade (as a second language) in the classroom and speaks English correctly. “Since today, I thought I was just not smart.”
“At a young age, I knew I could see it my way … I could not force myself as something, but I will be interested in it,” I will be interested in him. “
He was not until his mercy in his 20s, he finally decided to embrace his natural talents instead of fighting him.

Abrasion without opening
Mui for most of his life adapted to the mold of society. After high school, before deciding to go to the culinary school, he continued to study in a society college for several months.
“I went to the community college for a semester and fully hated it. I really really lost,” What do I do here? “So I didn’t feel like the choice of (another)” said Mui. It gained more confidence in the culinary school.
“I remember the one who is in the list of honor that year … It’s the moment I like: ‘Aha, you are not stupid … you are just one hand’.
He decided to accept his own learning way through the culinary school and give another chance to college. Thus, in 2012, at the age of 21, he left the culinary school and went to college to complete the license rate.
“After that, I was always in the roll of honor.
Until 2016, Mui had a master’s degree in both communication and media studies and international business research. Worked in several corporate and service work over the next few years.
But he realized that he was very unhappy. “I’ve definitely felt that I was my last goal at this point … There’s something like that, there’s something else who wants to do anything else, but I didn’t know what it was.”
In December 2022, Mui’s father suddenly died – a few months after his grandmother’s death. In life really realized that two things really matter: How to treat others and if you are happy.
Shortly afterwards, Mui left the corporate role and decided to take a break. It took time to rest, reflecting, reflecting and what he wants to do.
Thirsty meatballs when done
In April 2023, during the three weeks of being unemployed, there was a telephone conversation with Mui’s mother, “If you could only make the meatballs … This is a billion dollars.”
“And a lamp turned off the moment … I remember, I started to tinker all these products in my kitchen during the next day,” he said. The idea was to create a DIY set to make dumplings from scratch for people.
I am very happy. It’s so light … if the money is not a choice, I would probably do (this) … I just feel that I do what the inner child wants to do.

“At that moment, everything I passed … He started to return.” “When you are young, I can create a very easy and easy-to-use product where I really struggle with learning.”
He thought that the sets would not only give people to the kitchen, but also to become a way to learn the culture of others.
