The Cultural Gallery

Founded by Wing Wah Cake Shop Limited, Tasting Hong Kong is located at Yau Ma Tei of Kowloon Peninsula, right next to the famous tourist spot "Temple Street." Since the 1950s, Wing Wah Corporation has been promoting traditional Hong Kong delicacies to overseas travellers. To keep up with the corporate spirit and its objectives, Tasting Hong Kong was born out of a new operation model in the industry, in which Wing Wah cooperates with travel agencies of inbound and local tours to promote this new attraction of local pastries, puddings, cakes and daily snacks. We offer multilingual guides presenting the dining history, culture and anecdotes in the gallery, just as if you were back to the old Hong Kong. We offer cake-making and tea-making demonstrations onsite and you will find it enjoyable taking photos in front of the Hong Kong landmarks illustration wall.

In the souvenir shop, there are seven delicacy corners which include "Chinese Cakes," "Puddings," "Pastries," "Snacks," "Candies," "Festive Foods," and "Chinese Tea," complete with mini food models and short videos showing the food making process. Over 100 selected local delicacies are available for self consumption and as gifts.

In addition, our experienced tea experts from Jiangxi will show you the techniques of tea-making. You will feel delighted at the class, enjoying the Hong Kong's culture with cakes and tea.

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many. As we work our way out of the recession and look forward to a healthier economic environment, there is an understanding that despite recovering business levels, we may never see the return of former staffing levels. This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
