Fairwood launched Taiwanese brand One Bowl Minced Pork; all 4 stores closed by 2026

One Bowl Minced Pork (一碗肉燥) was a Taiwanese-cuisine sub-brand launched by Fairwood Holdings, the listed operator of the Fairwood fast-food chain. Positioned on a young, individualistic identity, it was Fairwood's attempt to diversify beyond its core quick-service restaurants into a different cuisine. At its peak the brand ran four branches, at Lok Fu Plaza, Shek Mun, Hang Hau and Cheung Sha Wan.

The four-store network unravelled quickly. The Lok Fu and Shek Mun branches closed first, and the Hang Hau branch shut in May 2025. The last outlet, in Cheung Sha Wan, closed on 14 January 2026 when its lease expired, with the premises demolished the next day. After that, the brand ceased to exist.

The full write-off came as Fairwood itself was under strain: for the year ending March, revenue was HK$3.1 billion, down 1.2 per cent, and net profit fell 29.8 per cent to HK$35.54 million. The group's management acknowledged the market would stay difficult. A listed company had spent years building and staffing a new brand in the middle of Hong Kong's restaurant downturn, where cross-border consumption was draining foot traffic — and then closed the whole thing down.
