HOPERS' BASE

Chinese and European flavours are united
under one beloved brand: Hopers' Base

Hopers' Base is a food and beverage holding company whose portfolio of food concepts empowers our partners to delight palates in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Reinvigorating culinary traditions with business innovations, our experienced team offer the opportunity to turn choice ingredients into delectable dishes of consistent quality and build a community of entrepreneurs, food service professionals, and food lovers.

As our flagship restaurant, Hopers’ Base Restaurant (formerly known as Renren Heping Restaurant) is a full-service Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong. Its award-winning Cantonese barbecue dishes and old-school comfort food recipes have not only won over the food lovers, but a loyal online following has also steadily grown.

Char Siu

Our Char Siu is a Cantonese classic. Beautifully marbled Canadian collar or Polish pork belly is tenderised and marinated with multifloral honey, pineapple, papaya, maltose and premium soy sauce. It is then roasted over slow-burning flames to achieve the juiciness inside and the crusty, caramelised edges on the outside. Prior to serving, the barbecue meat is dressed with a savoury jus enhanced with Chinese spices.

Roast Goose

Our select roast goose acquires its golden brown colour in a wood-burning oven. In the process, the skin’s moisture is completely evaporated to form a crispy texture, as the fat underneath melts only to drip all over the aromatic and succulent goose meat. Hopers’ Base’s roast goose dish was honoured at culinary competitions in Hong Kong.

Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork

Pineapple sweet and sour pork is a mouthwatering melange of generous cuts of deep-fried and breaded pork shoulder, fresh pineapple, onion, and bell pepper, which are enveloped in an addictive sweet and tangy sauce. Attractively presented on a boat-shaped bowl made of a cut pineapple fruit, this storied Cantonese dish with a modern twist is a crowd pleaser.

Roast Goose Fried Rice au jus in a Clay Pot

Fragrant jasmine rice, together with bite-sized goose meat, is pan fried in a clay pot, so each grain of rice can be cooked evenly and soak up the savoury goodness of roast goose meat juice and goose fat. It’s a simple homemade comfort food perfected by our chefs.

Gotthard Base Restaurant is a full-service restaurant specialising in continental European cuisine. Featuring crowd-pleasing dinner favourites such as Beef Wellington and seafood stew, Gotthard Base’s menu is crafted to reflect the finest combination of our executive chef’s passion for good food and what the season has to offer.

Beef Wellington

Available only to select customers who were ‘in the know’, Gotthard Base’s beef Wellington became a regular menu item once its reputation has travelled far and wide. A filet mignon is wrapped in layers of mushroom duxelles, dry-cured ham, and puff pastry, as each bite is blessed with a delectable symphony of flavours and aromas.

Seafood Stew

Our chef at Gotthard Base specialises in transforming various ingredients into different dishes, utilising seasonal seafood to create rich stews. Tiger prawns, mussels, scallops, and wild deep-sea fish are simmered in a white wine cream sauce with various ingredients added to bring out the freshest seafood flavors. This dish, which satisfies your taste buds, has become a classic at our Gotthard Base restaurant.

Churros + Tiramisu

Gotthard Base prides itself on its small but excellent selection of menu items, including its sweet course. Churros and tiramisu are two equally satisfying desserts to conclude a meal. Warm churros are coated in sugar and cinnamon, and bring back memories of street fairs. Tiramisu’s decadent layers of mascarpone cheese and coffee-flavoured sponge cake make anyone forget all worries.

Leveraging the experience and acumen of Hopers’ Base Restaurant, the transnational team builds the food preparation and business infrastructure for aspiring franchise owners to deliver delicious, affordable, and satisfying Cantonese barbecue food to communities across Great Britain.

HONGrill Bao

Bao Bun, a popular Taiwanese street food, is paired with the star of Cantonese barbecue. Stuffed with slices of saucy roast chicken, the steamed flatbread is garnished with fresh coriander and ground peanuts to make a wholesome and tasty snack.

Honey Roasted Char Siu Rice

HONGrill’s Char Siu is tenderised and marinated with multifloral honey, pineapple, papaya, and premium soy sauce. Featuring a caramelised crust and unmistakable sweet flavour, juicy cuts of barbecue pork are served on a bed of fragrant jasmine rice.

These delicious treats are great for everyday occasions, such as appetisers for dinners, hors d’oeuvre for cocktail parties, finger food for work or holiday gatherings, or a quick and easy fix to your midnight cravings.

Chenpi-infused Products

Chenpi is sun-dried and aged mandarin orange peel. It is a popular aromatic used in Cantonese cuisine thanks to its medicinal properties and subtle fragrance. Our Chenpi-infused tea and peanuts are great for every occasion and are also unique, thoughtful gift ideas.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Hopers' Base is proud to call Hong Kong home. We also want to bring the taste of home to the world, so Hong Kongers away from home and food lovers from around the world can enjoy legendary Cantonese barbecue dishes and other culinary offerings. To this end, Hopers’ Base has made significant investments to build HONGrill, a franchise system in the United Kingdom. From handling food preparation to providing entrepreneurship support, we help our partners succeed and contribute to their communities.

In Hong Kong, we will expand Hopers’ Base Restaurant either at our home in North Point or by securing new premises in another neighbourhood on Hong Kong island.

We will double down on growing our market share of packaged, frozen, and seasonal food offerings and on increasing Hong Kongers’ recognition of a quality leader food brand.
