Ms Renee So

Renee So is the owner, director, and current custodian of Kung Wo Beancurd Factory ( 公和荳品廠 ), a historic, 130+ year-old culinary institution located in the heart of Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. Known for stepping away from a corporate career to preserve local food culture, she has led the traditional soy shop to achieve prestigious MICHELIN Bib Gourmand status. Career & Transition to Kung Wo Before taking over the family business, Renee pursued a stable career in finance. In 2013, recognizing the immense physical toll the business was taking on her father, So Sung-lim, she made the life-changing decision to quit her finance career and manage Kung Wo full-time. Though she is technically the "second-generation owner" under her family's lineage, she represents the fourth generation of custodians overseeing the legendary shop. Her father, a long-time loyal customer of the store, had purchased Kung Wo in 1997 from the son of the original founder. Community & Future Vision Unli
