Famous far and wide, Tai O shrimp paste is a Hong Kong intangible cultural heritage item. However, with the passing of time, the local production of this fermented condiment has gradually declined.

Sing Lee Shrimp Sauce & Paste Manufacturer has been in operation since 1930. Seeing that his father was having difficulty handling the largely manual preparation processes due to old age, Li Hok-bun moved back to Tai O from the city to take over the family business as its third-generation owner.

Can the aroma of the shrimp paste from this time-honoured brand continue to be passed down from one generation to the next along with the communal spirit of Tai O?
