Yan Chim Kee is a renowned century-old “Made in Hong Kong” brand that started out selling coconut candy. In the 1990s, a misjudged business decision led to the demise of the age-old coconut empire.

Reluctant to see her grandfather and father’s efforts go to waste, third-generation descendant Evelyn Yan persuaded her big sister Lilian to step out of her comfort zone. The two worked together to launch Yan Chim Kee 2.0 in 2011.

Once princesses of the coconut candy empire, the sisters have since ascended the throne. They have not only revived the company’s traditional signature products, but are also actively developing new flavours and collaborating with various new brands in a bid to restore their kingdom to its former glory.
