Lee Kum Kee will be the sole provider of sauces for the eight themed restaurants at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and will feature four brand new and exclusive sauces for the Park. They include Great North-West Duck Sauce, Jiang-nan Duck Sauce, Disney Chicken Wing Sauce, and a tasty sauce used for marinating the ingredients of the char siew pork burger - one of the signature dishes of the Park.
"We are honored to be the official sponsor of Asian sauces for Hong Kong Disneyland," said Eddy Lee, Chairman of Lee Kum Kee Company Limited. "We are committed to promoting Chinese cuisine worldwide and the exchange of eastern and western dining cultures. The alliance will enable the guests of Hong Kong Disneyland to taste the magical experience offered by Lee Kum Kee sauces while enjoying themselves in the Park."

"Hong Kong Disneyland's food offerings will bring whole cultures together," said Klaus Mager, Hong Kong Disneyland Director Food & Beverage. "Hong Kong is the culinary capital of Asia that gives boundless inspiration for the Park to develop a broad variety of cuisines. We will work closely with the sauce experts at Lee Kum Kee to select from popular Western, Chinese and Asian cuisines, and then develop Disney's own magical menus."

About Hong Kong Disneyland
The Hong Kong Disneyland project was announced in 1999 as a venture between The Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong SAR Government. With the completion of reclamation for Hong Kong Disneyland Phase I by the Hong Kong SAR Government, theme park and resort construction began in January 2003, with the project now scheduled to open on 12th September, 2005. At opening day, Hong Kong Disneyland will comprise a theme park and two Disney-themed hotels.
The Phase I build-out includes a projected 10 million annual visitor Disneyland-style theme park, 2,100 hotel rooms, and an area for retail, dining and entertainment. The project is estimated to create 18,000 new jobs at opening (both Disney and other employment) growing to 36,000 once the first park reaches build-out. The Hong Kong SAR Government estimated that the first phase of the project will generate a present economic value of HK$148 billion (US$19 billion) in benefits to Hong Kong over a 40-year period.
