愛呷囝仔(ai`-xi- in`-na`) is a Taiwanese dialect meaning “Hungry kids” or “Sipping kids”, which was originally coined from Tang Dynasty throughout the centuries to nowadays in Taiwan and Fujian. Particularly, it is a gentle and playful term from elders to describe the kids who love eating.

Hungry Paulie is a name derived from the concept above and a tribute to Paul Chu, a lovely and caring person who enjoyed cooking, was hardworking and forever welcoming with his Taiwanese street food and traditional brekkie snacks. This is how we want everyone to feel when enjoying our meals and service with loved ones.
