Hong Kong Brand Story: Inside Lee Kum Kee

  • –
2-4 Dai Fat Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, Tai Po, New Territories

About

A kitchen accident in 1888 quietly gave Hong Kong one of its most recognisable flavours — oyster sauce. From those early days in Nanshui, Guangdong, Lee Kum Kee put down roots in Hong Kong and grew into a sauce maker with more than 200 products reaching over 100 countries and regions. This edition of "Hong Kong Brand Story", organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Youth Exchange Unit, takes you onto the factory floor in Tai Po. Expect a look at the brand's history, how sauces are made, and how quality is kept consistent — a century-old name still finding room to innovate.

Local Leisure Tour — Yuet Wo Sauce Garden 3.0

Founded in 1945 by the Pong family from Foshan, Guangdong, Yuet Wo is one of Hong Kong's last surviving traditional sauce gardens with over 80 years of heritage. It is the only sauce garden in Hong Kong that owns its own wine-steaming facility, producing a full range of naturally brewed soy sauces, vinegars, wines, and condiments entirely in-house — a rarity in today's industrialised food landscape. Now led by its third-generation successor Jack, Yuet Wo has managed to strike a balance between preserving time-honoured brewing techniques and adapting to modern demands. The factory's sun-drying yard, where sauces are left to ferment and mature under natural sunlight, remains a centrepiece of its traditional production process. With land resumption looming over the factory site, this may be one of the last opportunities to experience Yuet Wo's iconic production floor up close. As part of the 'Local Leisure Tour' series, this guided visit invites participants to walk through the sauce garden's production line, learn about the history of Hong Kong's soy sauce industry, and hear the story of how one family has kept this craft alive across generations. Each participant will receive a complimentary Yuet Wo sauce product. Previous editions of the tour have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the public, selling out quickly and drawing participants keen to connect with authentic Hong Kong food culture before it disappears.

Henderson Land x Cj Hendry Flower Market

One of Hong Kong Art Month's most anticipated highlights arrives at Central Harbourfront — Australian hyperrealist artist Cj Hendry brings her celebrated Flower Market to Asia for the very first time, proudly presented by Henderson Land as part of the property group's 50th anniversary celebrations. Set inside a greenhouse-style pavilion overlooking Victoria Harbour at AIA Vitality Park, the immersive installation showcases Hendry's signature plush sculptures across 26 flower varieties — from chrysanthemums and narcissi to sunflowers, thistles, and violets — totalling over 150,000 individual blooms. Organised by Pen & Paper, the exhibition invites visitors to wander, touch, and photograph the soft, hyper-realistic floral landscape in a setting that blurs the boundary between sculpture and nature. Two exclusive commissions have been created specifically for this Hong Kong edition: the 'Henderson Flower', marking the group's golden jubilee, and the 'Bauhinia', a plush homage to Hong Kong's emblematic bloom — whose organic form also echoes the sinuous architecture of The Henderson, the group's flagship tower designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. Admission is completely free, though advance registration is required via the official event website. Quotas are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Each registered guest will receive one complimentary plush flower upon entry, with additional blooms available for purchase at HK$38 per piece.

Air Giants 'Dreaming Cat World' @ West Kowloon Family FUN Arts Festival 2026

Three giant cats have landed at West Kowloon — and they're here to nap in style. What's better than one cat? Three! A family of oversized, slumbering feline sculptures has settled along the waterfront lawn of the West Kowloon Cultural District Art Park, curled up by Victoria Harbour in a dreamy, purring reverie. As they doze, their tails sway gently; give them a stroke and you'll feel a deep rumble and a soft heartbeat beneath the surface. These luminous, plush giants glow day and night, inviting visitors to share in their blissful dreams. Originally commissioned by the Manchester Museum, 'Dreaming Cat World' marks its first-ever exhibition outside the United Kingdom — and arrives with two brand-new family members in tow. The installation is created by Air Giants, a UK-based studio renowned for crafting large-scale, soft interactive sculptures that bring fantastical creatures into everyday life. Come meet the cat family this March at the West Kowloon Family FUN Arts Festival — an unforgettable outdoor experience for all ages!
