About Da Niu Bake Pie
Established in 2020 and founded by Daniel Lim, Da Niu Bake Pie was born out of necessity due to career relocations, and inspired by his wife's craving for flatbread.
When 51-year-old Daniel Lim found himself jobless after a company restructuring, he was forced to relocate back to Malaysia. Leaving his job as a Quantity Surveyor in Shanghai, he pursued his passion for cooking and turned his hobby into a profitable business.
Its main product, the Da Niu Bake Pie is a staple Shaanxi cuisine, a kind of Chinese flatbread with origins spanning 1,000 years back.
Upon embarking on life in Malaysia, his wife, who he met and wed in China missed the mui choy baked pie, her favorite snack from China.
The onset of Covid was an opportune time for Daniel to cook for his family and experiment with different recipes of Chinese flatbread. After many attempts to refine his flatbread recipe, he won his wife's stamp of approval.
The success culminated in the official opening of his inaugural Da Niu Bake Pie outlet in Kepong, and the rest is history,
Over the years, Daniel expanded his offerings from selling only baked pies to new dishes such as homemade chilli oil, hurry mee, and scallion noodles.
Da Niu Bake Pie is an inclusive family business inspired by challenges and family ties. In fact, his second daughter Esther designs the t-shirts, shopping bags, food packaging, and other merchandise on sale.
The restaurant is now Esther’s canvas for creativity while she pursues her degree an art school.
