Meeting HKSTP old colleague- Mr. Peter Mok in CityU

I was happy to meet Mr. Peter Mok (Former Head, Incubation Programmes, HKSTP) in the CityU innovation tunnel this afternoon. I guess he might be attending a HK Tech 300 meeting.

Now, Mr. Peter Mok is general manager served in Shenzhen Qianhai Ehub Operation Co., Ltd. Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (Ehub) was jointly initiated by the Qianhai Authority, the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, and the Shenzhen Youth Federation, and is operated by Shenzhen Qianhai Ehub Operation Co., Ltd. It serves as a stepping stone for young people from Hong Kong and Macao, aiming to become their "first stop" for mainland development. It provides a stage, expands opportunities, creates conditions, and offers prospects for numerous young people from Hong Kong and Macao to showcase their talents in Qianhai.

Then I went to SYE Dept to get my new name card.

I had written an article to HKIE stated Hong Kong startup ecosystem from university to accelerator in 2021.

Lunch with old colleagues of HKSTP

Dr. HL Yiu invited me to have lunch with Ms. Tinny Lui on 31^st July 2025. We selected the restaurant named “PENTOLA” in Tai Po. During the lunch, we took a photo for memory.

Dory Garden Grand Opening

 Minda and I were honor to be invited by Dr. Vincent Fung to join his friends startup Dory Garden Grand Opening on 3^rd Dec 2022.  Dory Garden is invested by a company from Science Park and employed their technology for Oyster. So, this grand opening introduces their product to all guests. We took a photo during enjoying oyster.

The Dory Garden is located in Nim Wan Rd, Lau Fau Shan. Driving is better but we took a taxi also convenience. It also provides camping services.

When we arrived, Dr. Jess Gu led us and introduced the environment.

The grand opening started and Mr. Gary Wong gave welcoming speech.

Then they performed a roasted pig cutting ceremony.

All guests tasted the roasted pig.

Dr. Jess Gu introduced the operation of handling the Oyster. 

Then Dr. James Leung introduced the technology of using Selenium (Se) to activate Oyster growth and self-cleaning. The life cycle of Oyster is from 6 months to 3 years depending on types of Oyster. Their technology is to keep oyster for 2 days fresh.

The taste is very good. I don’t like to eat fresh oyster because of creamy texture. But I like this oyster after treatment is chewy texture (爽口). 

After that we visited the camping facilities.

These areas are reserved for nourishing oyster farm. 

Vertical farm for vegetable was also tried and demonstrated there.
