Tai Ping Koon Restaurant has been a long-standing and well-loved establishment in Hong Kong. Many of its dishes, such as the giant souffle and the special Swiss chicken wings, are familiar to Hongkongers. However, how much do Hongkongers know about the historical events that Tai Ping Koon has witnessed?
Following the publication of "Sharing Tai Ping - The Legendary Story of Tai Ping Koon Restaurant" in 2007, which was well-received by readers, the fifth-generation heir of Tai Ping Koon, Mr. Tsui Suk-yin, has written another book, "A Century of Prosperity - Tai Ping Koon Restaurant's Century-Old Legacy". Starting from the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty, the book tells the story of Tai Ping Koon, the historical events it has witnessed, the stories of famous people, and the changes of the times.
Behind the century-old legacy of a restaurant lies a wealth of historical stories that are not only related to Hong Kong but also full of Hong Kong flavor.
