Mr. LUK Po-cheung, chief cook of the Nice Capital Restaurant Group, has been striving to build up the group’s brand image by providing customers with innovative and elegant dishes. He finds that more and more people are eating healthier; in response, his kitchen team often makes new dishes with less salt, sugar and fat but plenty of vegetables.
