Last Saturday, the Camp Quality children were given a very rare opportunity to visit the Amoy Dim-Sum Factory in China. The Amoy plant was based in Shenzhen and through the kind assistance of Ms Christina Keilthy, General Manager of Amoy Food Ltd, we were able to coordinate a very exclusive tour of the Amoy Plant and give the children an opportunity to try their skills at Dim Sum making. This was an absolute thrill for the kids since they were making dim sum bites, which they would normally eat out of the packet whilst in hospital or at home!!

Under the guidance of Mr Simon Tam of Amoy, our Camp Quality group set of early on Saturday morning with a member of Camp Quality staff and our companions for Shenzhen. We were given a warm reception upon arrival at the plant as well as goodie bags even before we started!! Refreshments were offered immediately and the Amoy staff made the kids extremely welcome. A general introduction was given of the Amoy plant before we were whisked away on a factory tour of the plant, which was huge, over 90,000 sq ft!!

After a delicious lunch, Dim Sum of-course!! We made our way to their Dim Sum workshop and that's when the excitement really begun, the art of Amoy dim sum making was demonstrated to us and the kids had an opportunity to try a variety of dim sum making with great success, we may add!!

Just before we left, a tree planting ceremony was also organized at the Amoy Garden, each kid got to plant his or her own tree as a commemoration of this very enjoyable visit.

It is hoped that we are able to take a couple of more groups up to their Amoy Plant throughout the next couple of months.

Our heartfelt thanks to Ms Christina Keilthy and Mr Simon Tam from Amoy Food Ltd for this wonderful opportunity!
