Roast meat, a.k.a. siu mei, is one of the all times favourites of Hong Kong people. Siu Mei dishes are often oily and come with little vegetables on the side. Tai Hing Roast Restaurant and Tai Hing New Century, however, take the lead in Siu Mei Restaurants by joining the EatSmart force and offer healthier food options.

More Vegetables and Less Sugar are the Modern Trends

As customers are demanding more vegetables in their meals, the chain restaurant started to offer more vegetable-rich dishes a few years ago. Dishes like hot pot with Chinese kale and fried vegetables with meats are well received by customers.

Siu Mei is usually high in fat content. Mr. HO, ( The Deputy General Manager of Tai Hing Worldwide Development Ltd. ) said, "This can be reduced if you choose to eat chicken breast or skinless chicken. Our restaurant would cater to customers' need for lean meat by deskinning the chicken."

The restaurant, moreover, has reduced the sugar content of their drinks by 20%.

The company has been providing "3 Less" and "More Fruit and Vegetables" dishes in 6 of their branches. It is hoped that more and more people ask for healthy food. Mr. Ho said, "With the right mix of Ingredients, we can cook very delicious and healthy dishes."
