Joy Luck Teahouse to Open Sun Plaza Outlet on Everybody’s Birthday (人日); Introduces Another Favourite Hong Kong Street Food: Crispy Condensed Milk Bun 奶油猪

 


Joy Luck Teahouse is set to open its sixth outlet at Sun Plaza! The happiness is doubled as the grand opening will coincide with Everybody’s Birthday, which falls on 18 February 2021. In conjunction with the new outlet opening, the teahouse will launch a new item: Crispy Condensed Milk Bun 奶油豬 (S$2.80). 

The fluffy bun is buttered after being toasted until the outside achieves delicate crispiness. Then, it is drizzled with condensed milk, which contributes a lovely sweetness. This staple is commonly served at Hong Kong's authentic teahouses. The bun will be exclusively available at the Sun Plaza outlet from 18 February 2021 to 21 February 2021; after which it will be available at other outlets.

The franchisee helming the Sun Plaza outlet is Carmen Quek, who is in her early 40s. A self-professed aficionado of Hong Kong’s food and snacks, Carmen has been in the wholesale and import/export business for the past 17 years. In her line of work, she deals with F&B companies so she knows the ins and outs of the industry. 

Hong Kong is one of her favorite countries and before the pandemic, she used to frequent the country at least once a year. She was missing the country’s eclectic food scene when she went on the Internet to search for options in Singapore. That was when she chanced upon Joy Luck Teahouse’s franchising opportunity. Within a month she decided to become a franchisee. This opportunity allows her to indulge in her favorite mainstays while running a business at the same time. She decided on the Sun Plaza location as she wanted to bring the items to those who live in Sembawang; the mall is also her favorite one. 

“Starting a new business presents its own set of challenges, and this is especially so when starting a new business in the COVID-19 climate. However, Joy Luck Teahouse owner Robert Chua is a visionary and he is generous with sharing his knowledge on F&B operations as well as Hong Kong food. As Joy Luck Teahouse’s offerings are comfort food that can be enjoyed any time of the day, I am certain that Sembawang residents will fall in love with them.”

Joy Luck Teahouse x Kam’s Roast Collaboration
From 18 February 2021, Joy Luck Teahouse’s customers will receive a S$10 Kam’s Roast dine-in voucher (while stocks last) with any purchase. The voucher is valid from March onwards, with a validity period of 1 month. The voucher can be used for dine-in at Kam’s Roast Jewel Changi Airport only.
