One of Hong Kong's last traditional sauce makers, Kui Lee Sauce and Preserved Fruit, will cease operations after 90 years. The company confirmed to the South China Morning Post that it would close permanently once its remaining inventory at its shop in Wan Chai is sold. The closure follows authorities clearing land at its Kwu Tung factory on Friday.
