Corporate Bits | English beef and lamb promotion kicks off

A month-long restaurant promotion entitled ‘The Best from the English Countryside –
Healthy Beef and Lamb’, launched yesterday in restaurants throughout Hong Kong and Macau.
The event is organized by AHDB Beef & Lamb, part of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board in England.
Seven restaurants from the two SARs have joined this promotion, which will run from now until 16 December. Among the seven, two have just recently opened their doors to the public: La Villa, TST East, Kowloon; Locofama, Sai Ying Pun, Western District; Marbling by Mr. Steak, Causeway Bay (new); Shore, Central;  Spotlight, Studio City Hotel, City of Dreams, Macau (new); The Continental, Pacific Place; and Watermark, Central Pier 7, Star Ferry.
During the promotion the public can win prizes. All they need to do is to order one of the English lamb or beef promotional dishes, take photos and create names for the dishes (better than the ones on the menu), uploading the photos with the names to the English Beef Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/englishbeef and invite their friends to like their post. Seven people with the most likes will receive restaurant vouchers worth up to HKD2,000 in value.
