Tam Jai International Co. Limited (“TJI”, “Tam Jai” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), one of the leading and renowned restaurant groups in Hong Kong, is pleased to announce its inaugural entry into the Philippines with the opening of the first TamJai Mixian store through a franchise partnership with Suyen Corporation, representing a further advancement in the Group’s expansion in the Asia Pacific region.

The grand opening ceremony of the new restaurant was officiated by Mr Daren Lau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TJI; The Honourable Lani Cayetano, Mayor of Taguig City; The Honourable Jorge Bocobo, Congressman of the Second District of Taguig City, Metro Manila; Mr Virgilio Lim, President of franchise partner Suyen Corporation; as well as Mr Enrique B. Manuel Jr., Chief Operating Officer, and Ms Lou Reyes, Chief Financial Officer of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation.

Located at BGC Corporate Tower Two, the new TamJai Mixian store is situated at a prime location in the heart of a thriving business hub in Taguig, a vibrant city in Metro Manila, the Philippines. The high-end commercial tower is conveniently located in the vicinity of key establishments such as The Philippine Stock Exchange, hotels and malls, benefiting from high footfall from a mix of working professionals, shoppers and visitors.

This Philippine store features not only TamJai Mixian’s signature soups and trademarked snacks, but also a range of tailor-designed rice bowls. It also offers a new dining experience with bowl customisation inspired by the “Mala Tang” style, making it the Group’s first overseas restaurant to introduce this concept. Customers can now enjoy a new dining experience, hand-picking from an extensive selection of ingredients and noodle bases at a dedicated food counter, apart from the traditional way of savouring Tam Jai’s mixian (rice noodles). Each bowl is freshly prepared with distinctive soup bases and Tam Jai’s iconic 10-level spice scale according to customers’ preferences, offering the authentic “Tam Jai Taste” in a contemporary style.

Adding to the excitement, the store features a sizzling open kitchen that allows customers to watch their bowl of mixian being freshly prepared to order, bowl by bowl, showcasing the craftsmanship behind each serving. This dynamic setting brings to life TamJai Mixian’s commitment to freshness, transparency and energy, immersing customers in a vibrant Hong Kong food culture experience.

The Group’s expansion into the Philippines is supported by a franchise arrangement with prominent Philippine conglomerate Suyen Corporation. Mr Ben Chan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Suyen Corporation, said, “We are honoured to introduce Hong Kong’s No. 1 noodle brand to the flourishing fast-casual food scene in the Philippines. By leveraging our expertise in the Philippine market together with Tam Jai’s unique brand identity, we are creating a powerful synergy that will drive the growth and long-term success of TamJai Mixian in the country.”

Mr Daren Lau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TJI, said, “Our debut in the Philippines further enriches our restaurant network of more than 250 stores across the Asia Pacific region, including Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, Japan, Australia and Malaysia. With robust local partners in place, we will continue to broaden our footprint and grow TJI’s restaurant network in key markets.”
