"Dried fruit is like nature’s gummy candy. This snackable set from Yun Hai includes tropical options like green mango and guava is a big upgrade from the dried fruit snacks you might have eaten as a kid." - Bettina Makalintal
"A Taiwanese pantry with a retail location in Brooklyn that sells chile crisp and other pantry items was surprised that a term long used in Chinese culinary tradition was granted trademark protection; its co-owner noted the community’s incredulity over the enforcement push, though the shop itself was not among those targeted by cease-and-desist letters." - Melissa McCart
"Thick-sliced dried fruit sourced from Taiwanese farmers and co-ops—guava, wax apple and two kinds of mango—preserved with only salt and sugar for honest, well-textured fruit snacks that support local farming communities." - Jaya Saxena
"A Taiwanese grocery store in Brooklyn whose co-owner praised the author for directly engaging with the politics of identity; the store’s leadership sees value in clearly distinguishing Taiwanese culinary and cultural differences from Chinese ones, even when that stance invites criticism." - Martha Cheng
"Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan, visited Yun Hai Shop during her visit to New York." - Emma Orlow
