Tips of Running an EatSmart Restaurant

Kwong Fat Restaurant is situated in Kwai Chung. Mr MA pointed out that customers from the neighbourhood like meat dishes, e.g. sweet and sour pork as well as deep-fried ribs, but they put in more vegetables to make the dishes healthier.

Mr MA said, "We use fresh ingredients instead of flavour enhancers and chicken powder, and the food cost has been increased. Capitalizing on their skills and experiences, our chefs make good use of food ingredients to create healthy and delicious dishes."

Kwong Fat Restaurant has been an EatSmart Restaurant for two years. Having been in the business for several decades, Mr MA observes that many local restauranteurs are adopting unhealthy cooking methods. Noticing the situation, he works closely with his Head Chef, who shares his dining philosophy, to make numerous healthy dishes fulfilling the "More Fruit and Vegetables" and "3 Less" requirements. Apart from the award-winning spinach dish, "Mixed Vegetables in Portuguese Sauce" and "Seafood Hot Pot with Vegetables" are also their signature dishes.
