Honguo at Chinatown Point - a Beautiful Love Story Part 1

A beautiful Love story indeed. 
 

There lived in Yunnan, South West China, 100 years ago, a Scholar and his wife. Nearing the Imperial Examinations, the scholar stayed on an isolated island to focus on his studies. His wife prepares his meal daily and travels over a bridge to the island to deliver the food to the scholar. However whenever she arrives at the island, the food turned cold due to the chilly weather. 

One day, she discovered that the pot of chicken broth she prepared remains hot - due in part to the oil that forms at the top of the broth, as well as the pot itself. To make the soup more nourishing, she added various ingredients : vermicelli, vegetables, eggs, meat, before her husband consumes it. Hence the Cross Bridge Vermicelli was invented and remains the most popular & well liked dish in Yunnan. 

It was with this beautiful love story in mind that Honguo was started by Kartrina Holdings.
