Yong Kang is certainly not English, just what does it mean?
If you happen to be in Taipei then Yong Kang would translate for most people as the street you go to for great eats. It is full of small restaurants, food carts, snack stands and some excellent tea houses. The characters “Yong Kang” roughly translate as “Everlasting Wellbeing.” It sounds a little new-agey in English, but in Chinese it reads rather poetically. We like to use the name because it reminds us of the great Shanghai style dumplings and mango shaved ice we eat there whenever we are in town. Joy and delight are essential elements of health!
