At the ceremony, Ambassador Wu cut the ribbon with other distinguished guests, celebrating the arrival of this high-end bakery boutique, which, with its grand opening, will provide Toronto with another taste of Taiwan’s unique culinary culture.
In his congratulatory remarks, Ambassador Wu said that Taiwan’s cuisine culture is famous for its diversity and “customer first” service, which is widely welcomed by people around the world.
