Vera from Uncle Yip's 裕华

Our UC DAAP intern Zoe had a great phone call interview with Vera from Uncle Yip's restaurant.

Vera’s enigmatic personality is contagious, she told us about her restaurant’s beginnings and what motivates her and her business.

See a few selected quotes by Vera below:

“Even though many people like my restaurant, I am still improving and learning. For example, Kung Pao Chicken, this is a dish that there are so many different ways to make. I teach people the many ways to cook it in their own home. Not just because of the money, but because I want to introduce this dish. I let people come directly to my kitchen and then teach them. ”

“I love this business because I don’t just want to bring good food to American people, but I also want to bring Chinese culture to them.”
