You know… In food industry, there’s only very few that could save the effort from R&D. Well… we hope we are the chosen one but not. Pa had been running here and there, sourcing for the great ingredients, the great seaweed, the fresh celery, the fragrant Soy skin, etc. and the first star of the company – Four Colour Roll – was born in 1990s.
The launching of Four Colour Roll was a storm in the market at that time. People are spreading the words. Restaurants are crazy about this product. This product had save so much time and effort for the restaurants and both of the restaurant operators and customers love it. Here is where Pa had earned his first pot of gold.
