The barbecue sauce was previously a local condiment found in Chaozhou, China. HAW-DI-I founder Liu, Lai-Qin came to Taiwan and opened a noodle booth for livelihood. Liu let his customers add the home-made "Barbecue Powder" from his memory to the noodle, and the delicious flavor became widely popular. Later, Mr. Liu, Lai-Qin made the Barbecue powder into the Barbecue sauce and founded the "HAW-DI-I Foods Co., Ltd." Liu also branded the products as "Bullhead."

My father, Mr. Liu, Lai-Qin was always willing to share with others. He upheld sincerity, diligence, and the spirit of advancement by establishing the "HAW-DI-I Foods Co., Ltd." in 1958, using "Bullhead" as the brand. He was committed to promoting the savor of Barbecue Sauce. For more than half a century, the brand, Bullhead Barbecue Sauce has become an indispensable sauce in Taiwan and the overseas Chinese communities. The powerful image of a family savor has been embedded in many people.
Inheriting the spirit of Mr. Liu, Lai-Qin to share with others, and to meet the demand for young brand and diversity, we have imported non-GMO Golden Sweet Corn and Cream Style Cornfrom the U.S. and Thailand over the years. We have developed the shallot sauce, curry paste, broth, and stock cube series. Our savory, safe and convenient quality products are quite popular among consumers.
