************************************************************
Bulldozer Group, an international food and beverage company, announced today (April 25) that it has opened its first seafood restaurant, "Seafood Room", in Hong Kong as part of its expansion plans in Asia.
Located on the top floor of a new commercial building in Causeway Bay, "Seafood Room" comprises a dining room of 8 000 square feet as well as a 2 000 sq ft rooftop lounge. It offers a wide range of local and imported seafood and globally inspired cuisine including Asian, Mediterranean, South American dishes and more, according to Bulldozer Group's Business Development Director for Hong Kong, Ms Barbara Kukhno.
Ms Kukhno said, "Hong Kong is a vibrant city with a mixed culture. With a local population that loves to dine out and a high demand for business entertainment, it is a fantastic market for a new venture like us. We also noticed that seafood is very popular in the city, hence it is a great market for us to target."
"The office in Hong Kong is the regional headquarters for the Group. We plan to open three more restaurants and clubs in Hong Kong in the upcoming two years. We also plan to expand into Mainland China, in top-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing."
The Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion, Dr Jimmy Chiang, said, "Hong Kong is renowned as the culinary capital of Asia and the gateway to Mainland China. It is the ideal place for overseas food and beverage companies like Bulldozer Group to set up or expand in the region. We wish them every success in the city."
