He remembered that during the SARS crisis, when business in public gathering places plummeted, the big hotels had to swallow their pride and sell boxed takeaways, which turned out to be a big hit. An idea suddenly surfaced in his brain: "If you get the pastry chef from a five-star hotel to figure out how to make low-cost cakes, you'd have a real attraction!"
他想起 2003 年 SARS 流行期間，受到不景氣影響，大飯店被迫放下身段銷售平價便當，卻吸引大批人潮搶購的場景，腦中立刻浮現：「如果找五星級飯店的點心主廚來平價連鎖店做蛋糕，一定會有賣點！」
