Food for the soul: Daily Wonders
Being surrounded by great food, talented chefs from around the world, and five-star hospitality proved inspirational.
Sherry Ye’s years in the hospitality industry instilled a deep ambition to create a café that served healthy, energising, and delicious food.
“It was always something I wanted to do,” she says. When the opportunity to open their own café arose last November, Sherry and her business partner took it eagerly.
Their vision for Daily Wonders was simple: healthy, nourishing meals that incorporate authentic Asian flavours from the experience of their own kitchens. “We’ve introduced what we cook at home, in a café so people get easy access to healthy food. When you go to work, you want to feel energised. That’s what we provide.” Catering for gluten-free, keto, vegetarian, and vegan diets, all cooking is refined sugar-free, and each sweet treat is made in-store, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. It’s all “honest goodness”.
At the heart of it all was a dream to provide healthy, fun Asian flavours as a take-away alternative for her own family, which has now turned into a homely, reliable Christchurch café with food made from the heart. “We just make food our family would like,” Sherry says.
