Mr Caecage SIU, Managing Director of Ocean Empire International Ltd., said "the basics of food industry are good hygiene, quality food and good services. And more importantly, we have to be persistent."

Offering Healthy food choices - A "Triple Win"

The group has been putting a lot of effort in developing new food products. An example is the "3 Less" Dish- Pumpkin, Corn and Minced Pork Congee. When they found that cooked pumpkin was not chewy, they put in corn to add texture to the congee.

Freshly-made Mustard and Pork Rib Congee has also been added to their menu after multiple trials. Mustard Cabbage does not mix well with the plain congee if it is not well cooked. However, its nutrients will be lost with prolonged boiling. To solve the problem, the group innovated the use of mustard cabbage juice to prepare the congee base. This has become very popular with daily sales exceeding a thousand bowls a day.

Mr SIU continued, "In light of the growing demand for healthy food, we are happy to be able to offer our customers a healthy choice. On the other hand it will also improve our business and the people's health. It is really a triple-win!"
