Chinese restaurant chain Xin Dau Ji has closed down its last branch in Hong Kong, according to local media. The branch, located in Kowloon Bay, was not open for business on Friday. There was a notice outside the restaurant saying, “Internal construction ongoing,” local media outlet The Collective reported. Ming Pao reported on Friday, citing a response from the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority, that the restaurant had not been paying the compulsory pension funds for around 20 workers since April. Established in 2006, the chain was famous for traditional Chinese dishes such as roast suckling pig. Its main branch in Jordan earned one Michelin star in 2012 and 2013. It closed its Causeway Bay branch in February 2019, HK01 reported. Other branches were also shut down over the past few years. The restaurant chain had seven branches in Hong Kong at its peak and started to venture into mainland Chinese markets around 2022, according to a report by Chinese media outlet Sohu. According to online information, the group currently runs a few branches in mainland Chinese cities, including Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. The news came amid a strong wave of restaurant closures in Hong Kong. It was reported on Tuesday that Metropol Restaurant would cease operations in September, after 35 years of service. In late June, bakery chain Taipan Bread & Cakes, which created the famous snowy mooncakes, closed all its stores after 41 years in operation, reportedly owing unpaid salaries and rent. In early June, Hong Kong catering group King Parrot informed its staff about its closure, without settling severance pay. In May, chain restaurant Ocean Empire announced the closure of all its branches, putting an end to its 33-year history.
