***************************************************************
​Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) today (July 14) welcomed the opening of Guangzhou Fung Yuen Cantonese-style chicken pot brand's first restaurant in Hong Kong. The company has also chosen Hong Kong as its regional headquarters to expand into the Greater China and Asian markets, serving as a bridge between the Mainland and overseas markets to co-ordinate resource allocation and take the Fung Yuen brand to the international market.
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK Mr Arnold Lau said, "We welcome Fung Yuen's establishment in Hong Kong. It not only provides more dining options for local consumers but also helps the brand expand into international markets by leveraging Hong Kong's international platform and using Hong Kong as a bridge between the Mainland and overseas markets."
The Chairman of Hong Kong Fung Yuen Yezhen Catering Management Co Ltd, Mr Xie Tian, said, "As the world's freest economy and an international financial centre, Hong Kong has a highly open market, commercial rules that align with international standards, and a strategic location in the heart of the Asia-Pacific region. The city has become an ideal springboard for many Mainland brands to promote Chinese cuisine to the world. Based in Guangzhou for many years, Fung Yuen has chosen Hong Kong as its regional headquarters to leverage the 'Belt and Road' initiative to streamline its cross-border supply chains, as well as to promote the standardised exportation of Cantonese soup culture via Hong Kong's international influence."
He added, "Fung Yuen in Hong Kong is positioned as a chicken pot restaurant offering premium ingredients and a comfortable dining experience. We have private rooms to cater to different customer needs. Our signature chicken dishes, including Fung Yuen chicken hot pot, crispy chicken hot pot, and coconut chicken hot pot, are nutritious and refreshing. Apart from chicken, we also offer a variety of options such as beef, seafood, and mushrooms, as well as several Cantonese-style desserts for customers' selection. We will continue to gather feedback from local customers and combine it with international dining trends to develop innovative dishes."
Founded in 2013, Fung Yuen has more than 20 branches in Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Chengdu, Shanghai and Xiamen. Mr Xie stated that the company chose Mong Kok as its first store in Hong Kong, a popular tourist hotspot that also gathers fashion and cultural trends. In the future, the company plans to use Hong Kong as a testbed to explore new dining models and attract diverse local and cross-border consumers to experience Fung Yuen's culinary culture.
