Let this true story unfold\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, my friend Dai\u2019s parents came to visit from China. One day, they did some cooking at home and invited my wife over to eat. Later that night, when I tried the \u201cbo bing\u201d (thin pancake) which my wife brought back, my heart was melted by the exquisite taste of it. I said to my wife: \u201cthis \u201cbo bing\u201d is so delicious!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The following night, I went to my friend Dai\u2019s house to learn how to make this famous \u201cbo bing\u201d from his mother, which I call Aunt Dai. She was very happy to show me how to make it step by step and this authentic hand-making process deeply touched me. Later, after continuous practice, I could practically make the \u201cbo bing\u201d independently. All my friends really enjoyed the \u2018\u2019bo bing\u2019\u2019 I made.<\/p>\n<p>In order to show my respect and to honor Aunt Dai, I registered the domain name www.auntdai.com. I told her, if one day I were to open a Chinese restaurant in Montreal, I would use the name \u201cAunt Dai\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Later, I really decided to start this business adventure. I got the approval from Aunt Dai to use her photo. An artist friend of mine drew a sketch based on her photo as the logo of the restaurant and a Chinese calligrapher wrote \u201cAunt Dai\u201d in Chinese as a part of the logo.<\/p>\n<p>On February 5th, 2014, the restaurant is officially opened. We want our customers to appreciate our service and to truly appreciate Chinese cuisine in Montreal. Aunt Dai is still in China right now; therefore she cannot participate in the daily operation of the restaurant. It is a pity that we cannot provide to our customers her \u201cbo bing\u201d. However, this restaurant was really inspired by her, so we decided that Aunt Dai\u2019s family members could enjoy free food and service at our restaurant forever.<\/p>\n<p>If Aunt Dai comes to visit Montreal next time, we will invite her to the restaurant to demonstrate the \u201cbo bing\u201d making process and lucky friends will have the opportunity to taste Aunt Dai\u2019s handmade \u201cbo bing\u201d.<br \/>\nAs the restaurant owner, I started blogging about the experience of running a Chinese restaurant, you can find it here:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Cuisine AuntDai Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/cuisineauntdai.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuisine AuntDai Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E23WtpAU-1M&#038;index=4&#038;list=PLHCusoySp0EQVqjynrnSbBRsRrXTb2s6M\" title=\"Introduction video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Click here to see the menu introduction at Cuisine AuntDai  <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AYI5heazDNo&#038;list=PLHCusoySp0EQVqjynrnSbBRsRrXTb2s6M&#038;index=2\" title=\"Introduction video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Click here to see how to order at Cuisine AuntDai  <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCELmUHgHGJRj_yQr7gFcAqA\" title=\"Feigang Fei Youtube Channel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Click here to see the Youtube channel of the restaurant owner Feigang Fei <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did we call the restaurant \u201cAunt Dai\u201d?
