Gubahmi means "beef noodle soup" in Taiwanese. To many Taiwanese, beef noodle soup is more than just a dish—it’s a cultural symbol. This comforting bowl of noodles carries the warmth of home, the vibrancy of bustling street markets, and some of the most cherished memories of our lives.

When I moved to Canada, I discovered the rich diversity of cuisines here. But I also noticed the absence of that familiar, deeply comforting Taiwanese flavour. That’s when I decided to create Gubahmi—to bring this classic Taiwanese culinary experience to Ottawa and share it with a wider audience. 

I’m Jackie, the founder of Gubahmi. I was born and raised in Taiwan in a family that loves food and sharing meals. To me, beef noodle soup isn’t just about nourishment; it’s about connection. Whether it’s a family gathered around the dinner table or late-night conversations with friends, a steaming bowl of beef noodle soup always brings

Gubahmi，在台語裡的意思是「牛肉麵」。對台灣人來說，牛肉麵不僅僅是一道美食，更是一種文化的象徵。這碗麵裡，承載了家的溫暖、街頭的煙火氣息，以及我們記憶中最美好的時光。

當我移居到加拿大時，我發現這裡擁有豐富多元的美食文化，但卻少了那碗熟悉而充滿安慰的台灣味道。於是，我決定創立 Gubahmi，將這份經典的台灣美食帶到渥太華，與更多人分享這份來自家鄉的感動。

我是 Jackie，來自台灣。我出生並成長於一個熱愛美食與分享的家庭。對我來說，牛肉麵不僅僅是果腹的食物，它更是一種情感的連結——無論是一家人圍坐在餐桌旁的溫馨時刻，還是深夜裡與朋友暢談的片刻，一碗牛肉麵總能拉近人與人之間的距離。

When the pandemic first started, many people transitioned to working from home. My wife began working remotely, and while it seemed ideal at first, the reality was far from it. Endless meetings, fragmented schedules, and blurred boundaries between work and life became her new normal. Lunchtime, which should’ve been a moment to relax, often turned into a rushed break to grab a quick bite. By evening, she would finish her workday exhausted, with no energy left to prepare a proper dinner. 

At first, instant noodles seemed like a quick solution. But over time, the monotony set in, and we started craving the comforting taste of homemade soup. One day, we decided to make beef noodle soup from scratch and freeze portions for busy days. 

One evening, after my wife worked late until 8 p.m., she was completely drained. I pulled out one of our frozen beef noodle soups, and within ten minutes, the aroma of the broth filled the kitchen. That moment made us realize this bowl wasn’t just about satisfying hunger—it was a source of comfort and warmth, helping us reconnect with the simple joys of life, even during chaotic times.

還記得疫情剛開始時，許多人轉為在家工作。我的太太也開始居家辦公，起初我們以為這樣的彈性工作方式會很理想，但事實卻不然。無止境的會議、碎片化的日程，讓她的生活與工作界線越來越模糊。中午的用餐時間，往往只是匆匆幾口食物，到了晚上，她拖著疲憊的身體結束一天的工作，已經沒有力氣再去準備一頓完整的晚餐。

起初，我們選擇了泡面作為解決方案。但久而久之，那份單調的滋味讓我們開始懷念起家常熱湯的溫暖。於是有一天，我們嘗試開始煮製牛肉麵，並將它冷凍起來，讓忙碌時可以快速享用。

某個晚上，老婆加班到八點多，筋疲力盡。我打開一份冷凍的牛肉麵，短短十分鐘後，廚房裡飄起湯底的香氣，那一刻我們意識到：這碗麵不僅填飽了肚子，更在忙碌的日子裡帶來一份久違的安慰，讓我們重新找回生活的溫度。

At Gubahmi, we are committed to authenticity. Every bowl is crafted with care, featuring a rich, slow-simmered beef bone broth, tender beef chunks, and chewy Guan Miao noodles. We aim to recreate the warmth of home in every bite.
