OUR STORY · THE THREE FIRES

Before restaurants,
there was the hearth.

Across Europe, the hearth was once the centre of the home. Meat and vegetables roasted beside the fire, soup simmered slowly, and families gathered to eat and warm themselves before returning to the day.

THE STORY OF WEIHO

Keep the fire in the cooking.
Keep the choice with you.

City life no longer revolves around a hearth. Lunch is squeezed between meetings and the next task, and “anything is fine” becomes an everyday habit.

Our Chinese name sounds like “why”. Its second character means grain—the bowl we return to every day. The name asks one question: why should an everyday meal be a compromise?

So we put that hearth into a bowl. Proteins and hot vegetables are steam-roasted to order, then paired with rice, cold and hot sides and sauce. We named it the OKAO Bowl.The world's first OKAO Bowl, created by THIRD HEARTH.

Eating out every day should not mean compromising every day. An everyday bowl deserves restaurant-level care without becoming extravagant or out of reach.

In September 2026, THIRD HEARTH lit its first fire on Meicun Road in Taichung. We hope every city will one day have a nearby hearth where busy people can still sit down to a proper hot meal.
