In 1984, Mr Andrew Tjioe founded TungLok Group with the opening of TungLok Shark’s Fin Restaurant at Liang Court Shopping Centre. Setting itself apart from traditional Chinese restaurants, the flagship restaurant offered an exclusive collection of fine Cantonese cuisine.
At a time when fine dining Chinese was rarity, the restaurant stood out very well in the F&B scene and was synonymous with presenting quality cuisine fit for kings. It was best know for throwing Chinese State banquets periodically between 1990 to 2000 when it invited masterchefs from China’s magnificent Great Hall of the People and Diaoyutai State guest house to stage a culinary extravaganza. These masterchefs have prepared food for World Leaders and State Dignitaries who visit China on official missions.
This flagship restaurant was later renamed TungLok Restaurant and continued to delight ardent followers with its traditional Cantonese culinary masterpieces. TungLok was a part of many hapy occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and celebrations of sorts.
